Pairing and personalizing the Philips
health watch
The device is equipped with Bluetooth
®
. You
can sync your personal health data to iOS
®
and Android™ smartphones and tablets using
Bluetooth wireless technology. Download the
Philips HealthSuite health app from the App
Store or Google Play. Use the search term 'Philips
HealthSuite health'. The app is available for iOS®
8.0+ and Android™ 4.4.2+ operating systems.
It is very important that you provide the right
profile data in the app to enable accurate
measurements.
1
Place the health watch in the charging cradle
and charge the device.
2 Download the Philips HealthSuite health app
on your mobile device.
3 Open the app and the setup wizard will guide
you through the steps to create a user profile. In
the page 'Add a device' select the Health watch
from the list of devices.
4 Tap the '>' icon on the watch to enable pairing
mode.
5 When connected via Bluetooth, the app will
show a pop-up asking you to pair.
6 Make sure the app is active and Bluetooth is
enabled when pairing is in progress.
-
Keep the mobile device and the health
watch within syncing range (no more than 6
feet /
2 meters from each other, in the same room).
-
Do not close the app and do not turn
Bluetooth off while pairing is in progress.
When the health watch is successfully paired with
your mobile device, the firmware of the watch will
be updated to match the local language, time,
profile settings and the latest features. The watch
can now automatically sync your personal health
data to your mobile device via Bluetooth.
Pairing the health watch to your mobile device is
only necessary once, unless you want to pair to
another smartphone.
If you already have another Philips health
connected device, go to the settings of the app
and add a new device.
Tip: If the pairing connection is lost and you
want to pair the same phone again, see chapter
'Troubleshooting' for more information.
Sync and store personal health data in
the app
Your personal health data is stored in Philips'
cloud-based platform and displayed in the Philips
HealthSuite health app. Only when the health
app is active (or active in the background) and
Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone, your
personal health data can be synchronized.
1
Open the Philips HealthSuite health app and
activate Bluetooth on your mobile device.
Keep the mobile device and the health watch
within syncing distance (no more than 6 feet /
2 meters from each other, in the same room).
2 Once successfully connected, the
measurement results are synced to the Philips
HealthSuite health app.
If the sync is successful, the measurement results
are displayed in the Philips HealthSuite health app,
where you can check your personal health data.
Note: Some measurements take up to 24 hours to
begin to display data.
Note: If you are unable to sync, see chapter
'Troubleshooting' for more information.
Firmware update: the app will notify you when
new firmware of the health watch is available and
will ask you whether you want to update it.
Wearing the health watch
Always wear the Philips health watch on the outside
of your wrist, in direct contact with your skin (Fig. 2).
Make sure the watch is not on your wrist bone (Fig. 3).
The straps need to be tight, but comfortable
around your wrist to ensure a correct heart rate
measurement. If you feel any discomfort due to the
straps, give your skin some rest by not wearing the
watch for a short period of time. When refastening
the watch, try loosening the strap a notch.
If you continue to feel discomfort after a short
period of rest and loosening the strap, remove the
device and call 1-844-531-6861 for assistance and/
or consult your doctor.
Note: Please check and if necessary, change the
setting 'handedness' and 'wearing position' in the
device settings menu in the Philips HealthSuite
health app. This is to indicate if you are left or right
handed and the side that you wear your watch on.
Remove the watch at least once a day (e.g. before
or during a meal) to clean your wrist/arm with some
mild soap and water. Clean the watch regularly,
especially if your watch becomes dirty or wet during
an activity. Make sure that your watch and arm are
dry before refastening the watch to reduce the risk
of skin irritation. If you use skin care products, do so
sparingly on the areas of the skin that are covered
by the watch. The watch is splash proof with a 1 atm
rating, which allows you to use it outdoors in the rain.
Replacing the strap
The Philips health watch comes with a second
strap that accommodates most common small size
wrists. The straps have quick release pins which
allow for easy change of straps.
If you want to use the smaller strap:
1
Turn the watch upside down.
2 Release the pin of the strap (Fig. 4).
3 Gently remove the strap.
4 Position the watch correctly, lock one side of
the new strap in the watch, unlock the pin of
the new strap and lock the strap in the watch
(Fig. 5).
User interface
The Philips health watch has a touch sensitive
ring around the display. You can use the touch
