Wearing and Charging

Wearing and Replacing Watch the Strap
It is recommended to wear the watch with comfortable looseness to allow the skin to breathe and the sensor to function.
When measuring blood oxygen, avoid wearing the watch on the wrist joint, maintain a comfortable (appropriately tight) fit between the watch and the skin of your wrist, and keep your arm still throughout the measurement process. When affected by external factors (such as arm sag, arm sway, arm hair, and tattoo), measurement results may be inaccurate or the measurement may fail with no output.
You can tighten the watch strap during the workout and loosen it afterwards. Tighten the strap appropriately if your watch sways on your wrist or fails to output data. Charging

1. Connect the USB port of the watch charging base to a phone charger or a PC’s USB interface.
2. Put the watch onto the magnetic charging base and keep the metal contact on the back of the watch aligned with the gold pin of the charging base. Ensure that the watch is firmly attached to the charging base.
3. After the watch is correctly placed onto the charging base, the charging icon will appear on the watch screen, indicating that charging is in progress.

Activities and health

Goal

The watch vibrates when you achieve daily step and standing goals. Stand Reminders
To encourage you to have a certain amount of activity every hour when you are awake and reduce the harm caused by sitting for too long, the watch monitors your activity as you wear it.
If no activities are detected for more than one minute at the 50th minute of the current hour and you are wearing the watch correctly, the watch vibrates to remind you to work out. When you receive a standing alert, do activity before the next hour arrives to achieve the current hour’s standing goal.

PAI is used to measure a person’s physiological activity and reflect overall physical condition. It is calculated based on a person’s BMP, the intensity of daily activities, and physiological data.
By maintaining a certain intensity of daily activities or workouts, you can obtain a PAI value. According to the research results of the HUNT Fitness Study*, people with a PAI value greater than 100 are more immune to cardiovascular diseases and have increased life expectancy.
Wake up the watch, press the button on the watch face page to go to the app list, and swipe up or down on the screen to select and open the PAI app. In the PAI app on the watch, you can view information such as your PAI score in the past seven days and today’s PAI score. You can also set the PAI app as a quick access app to easily view your PAI score.
For more information, go to the Zepp app Home page > PAI page > click Q&A.

• The HUNT Fitness Study is a sub-project of the HUNT study, led by Professor Ulrik Wisloff at the School of Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. It has lasted over 35 years and involved more than 230,000 participants. Heart Rate
  Heart rate is an important indicator of physical condition. Highly-frequent heart rate measurement helps capture more heart rate changes and provide a reference for a healthy lifestyle.
  Wake up the watch, press the button on the watch face page to go to the app list, and swipe up or down on the screen to select and open the Heart Rate app. In the Heart Rate app on the watch, you can view your most recently measured heart rate value, all-day heart rate curve, resting heart rate, heart rate interval distribution and other information. Setting the Heart Rate app as a quick access app allows you to easily measure your heart rate.
  To ensure measurement accuracy, you need to wear the watch correctly according to the tips, and ensure that the part next to your skin is clean and free of sunscreen smear. Sleep
  Sleep quality has an important impact on human health.
  When you sleep while wearing the watch, it automatically records your sleep data.
