NAVIGATION TIPS & FEATURES

BASIC NAVIGATION TIPS
Your iTech Active 2 is a one-touch device, you can interact with your device by tap-ping the one-touch button to navigate through the iTech Active 2. To activate a fea-ture on your device or to enter certain sections on your device (I.E Settings), simply tap and hold the one-touch button. Your device will vibrate once you enter
or activate a feature as well.

Here are a few basics to help you get started:
Exiting a section or app on watch: To exit an area you’re in on the watch, tap on the one-touch button until you see a back button icon. Tap and hold the one-touch button on this icon to exit a section on the watch.

Haptic Feedback Control : Your watch vibrates to alert you of any notifications or reminders you need. But sometimes if you don’t want the vibration, it can become a bother. That’s why you can control if you want vibration on or off for your watch. To turn off vibration on your watch, tap on the one-touch button until you land on the Settings icon. Tap and hold on the one-touch button to enter this section and navi- gate to the Do Not Disturb icon. Tap and hold on this icon to turn off vibrations. You can turn this off and off as you like but it takes 5 minutes once the feature has been activated to begin working. Shutting off vibration will also provide an even longer battery life.

MAC ID Address: Each iTech Active 2 has a unique ID that can be found on the device. This MAC ID can help you connect your watch to the iTech Wearables app and ensure you’re connecting the correct watch to the app. To find this ID on your iTech Active 2, simply tap and hold on the one-touch button on the
main clock face of your device for 3 seconds. On this screen, you will also see you battery level and you’ll see a Bluetooth icon (if you are connected to the iTech Wearbles App).

2. From Watch Notifications, you may select the notifications you wish to receive on your Fitness tracker. Note: Notification permissions differ between iOS and Android users.

Not a medical device. This device and related software are not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease. Users should not interpret or take clinical action based on the device output without consultation of a qualified healthcare professional.

FITNESS AND EXERCISE (MULTI-SPORTS MODE)

Track specific exercises, such as running, hiking, football, basketball, and more with your iTech Active 2. Your iTech Active 2 is equipped with 4 sports modes and 4 workout modes. Each exercise tracks specific details such as steps, total time, average heart rate, calories and etc.

Some Helpful Tips:

• For data to be saved, the workout/sport you do must be done Active 2ly for at least 3 minutes. Once you begin a sports mode, the exercise on the watch will show the data points being collected by the workout/sports mode being performed. If you tap on the one-touch button during the mode, you will see the ‘PAUSE’ screen and if you tap on the one-touch button again, you’ll see the ‘STOP’ screen. Tapping on the one-touch button again will take you back to the main screen for the mode being performed.
• You can perform the sport either near your smartphone or away/not connected to your smart-phone. Once the device comes within Bluetooth range of your smartphone, it will automatically sync with the app and the mode will appear on your home/dashboard screen in app.
• Sports modes should be done one at a time. After stopping one mode, ensure that the data is synced to the app first. Then start your second sports mode. Doing multiple modes at once, without syncing to the app will cause data you have acquired to be lost.
• The watch will alert you if the activity time is too short to record. Activities not performed for at least 3 minutes will not be saved to the app/watch.

You can view all of the sports and workout modes you have done for the day as well as the calories burned doing each activity within the Calories card found on the main home page of the iTech Wear-ables App.

All iTech Wearable products are meant to be worn all day and night, so it’s important to follow a few simple guidelines as you wear and care for your device.
To keep your band clean and your skin happy, we recommend the following tips:

• Clean your band and wrist regularly – especially after intense workouts or sweating.
• Rinse the band with water or wipe it with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Do NOT use hand soap, dish soap, hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes or household cleaners, which could get trapped beneath the band and irritate your skin.
• Always pat dry the band before putting it back on

Note: Although the iTech Active 2 is IP65 water resistant, it is not IP68 waterproof which means you should not submerge your Active 2 in water and we advise you not to swim with your device. However, your iTech Active 2 can withstand many splashes, rain, and daily activities such as washing dishes. If your Active 2 gets wet, we advise to remove it until dry. It is not good for your skin to wear a wet band for long periods of time.

IMPORTANT TIPS: If you have allergies, asthma, or eczema, you may be more likely to experience a skin irritation or allergy from a wearable device. If you start to experience skin irritation or redness on your wrist, remove your device. Contact a dermatologist if symptoms persist longer than 2-3 days of not using your wearable device.
