How do I get iHealth Wireless Activity and Sleep Tracker firmware

updates?

We are constantly looking for ways to improve your iHealth Wireless Activity and Sleep Tracker experience. From time to time, we update the device firmware to enhance product performance. When a firmware update is released, a notification message will pop up in the App. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update.

Setup and Usage:

When does my iHealth Tracker reset and what happens to the previous

data?

Your Tracker will reset each night at midnight, and all of your data will reset to zero. Your minute-to-minute data will be stored in your Tracker for up to 14 days without syncing. Daily syncing is recommended.

First time using iHealth Wireless Activity and Sleep Tracker

When you first get your tracker, you should fully charge it (about 2~4 hours). To charge, connect the USB end of the charger to your usb charger and plug in the micro usb side into the tracker.

How does the Idle Alarm work and how do I set it up?

You can set up the Idle Alarm in the iHealth MyVitals App. The Tracker will vibrate gently for approximately 4 seconds to remind you to get up and be more active.

How does the silent alarm work, and how do I set it up?

Silent alarms can be set up in the App. Silent alarms wake you gently—and without disturbing your partner—by vibrating softly for duration of 40 seconds.

What are “awaken times”?

The iHealth Tracker detects your body movements while you are asleep, such as tossing and turning, then converts that data into Awaken Times. Knowing your total Awaken Times can help you better understand the quality of rest that you are getting.

Sleep Tracking: How it Works
The tracker detects your sleep automatically and will analyze your motion patterns throughout the night and turn these data into useful information, such as how long it took you to fall asleep, the number of times you woke up throughout the night, and how long you were actually asleep versus merely lying in bed.

How much data can the tracker store?

The tracker can store up to 14 days of data. Data over 14 days will delete automatically.

Can I wear the iHealth Wave while performing rigorous activities such as basketball, soccer and other team sports?
It is safe to wear the Tracker during these rigorous activities, and the Tracker will record your step count from these movements. However, the calorie count may not accurately reflect the intensity level of activity performed. For the most accurate amount of calories burned, we recommend that you manually enter all non-walking and non-running activities type in the App.

How does the Activity Level feature work?

To help you stay motivated, the iHealth Wave rewards you at different levels of activity achievement, as indicated by a little man who can move to 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place, respectively. This is how it works:

  • At 2,500 steps: The leaping frog jumps to 3rd place.
  • At 5,000 steps: The leaping frog jumps to 2nd place.
  • At 10,000 steps: The leaping frog jumps into 1st place and is crowned.
Is the iHealth Tracker suitable for all physical activities?

The Tracker works best when the wrist is moving as part of the overall movement, and your foot makes contact with the ground, such as when walking or running. The iHealth Tracker is less suited for tracking resistance exercises such as weight lifting and yoga. Though it will capture data if worn during these activities, these types of motions are not recorded as accurately as running or walking.

How does calorie-tracking work?

The iHealth Tracker records calories burned from your activities throughout the day, and your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which is the amount of calories burned while at rest (in other words, the energy expended to sustain your regular body functions while you sleep). This calculation is based on your age, gender, height and weight. The Tracker displays the total calories you have burned since midnight each day.

Does the Tracker need to be near my mobile device for syncing?

Yes, you will have to be close enough for Bluetooth to be able to connect.

How often should I sync Tracker data with my mobile device?

A daily sync is recommended but not required. The iHealth Tracker can record detailed data for up to 14 days between each sync. Daily syncing only takes a few minutes; however, the more data stored, the longer it may take to sync.

How does the iHealth Tracker sync with the iHealth MyVitals App?

To sync data from your Tracker to the App, you must have an active Internet connection and Bluetooth must be turned on.

To sync the Tracker, simply open the App and tap on the ”sync”

If your mobile device is connected to the Internet, your data will be uploaded to the iHealth Cloud as well.

Can I link the iHealth Tracker to multiple accounts?

You can only have one Tracker linked to one iHealth MyVitals account at a time.
