4Optical Heart Rate Monitor
4.1 Optical Heart Rate Technology
Star 2 has built-in optical heart rate sensor that uses light to measure the changes in
tissue caused by blood circulation under the area of the sensor. When you are wearing
Star 2, the optical heart rate monitor can track your heart rate and collect the changes
throughout the day; it can also collect your heart rate for the past 7 days.
4.2 Heart Rate Zones and Training
Outcome
Star 2 can track your heart rate during activities and use a color chart to indicate your
current heart rate intensity. No matter if you are inactive or a fitness guru, you can train
with this chart efficiently and safely.
The heart rate zones chart is an object way to measure one’s current workout intensity
and recover situation.

4.3 Possible Reasons for Inaccurate
Measurement
Optical heart rate sensor has been widely applied for its accuracy and applicable quality.
To ensure you receive the most accurate reading possible, please read through some of
the tips regarding wearing methods and movements. Please also note that under some
circumstances, the optical heart rate sensor may not be as accurate:
⚫Your method of wearing the watch:
➢Please be sure to have direct contact between your skin and the optical sensor.
➢Please avoid wearing your watch right on top of your wrist bone, as this may
create gaps between the skin and the sensor and preventing them from direct
contact. Another reason not to do so is that the watch may slide, and the sensor
could not receive accurate reading when it is moving. It is suggested to wear it on
your forearm, beside your wrist bone.
⚫Before your activity, please warm up to enhance blood circulation, this is both
beneficial for your personal safety as well as allowing the sensor to have a better
reading.
⚫Arm movements and flexing muscles, such as gripping a tennis racket, can change the
accuracy of the sensor readings.
⚫Tattoo and darker skin tones may cause inaccurate reading of the sensor due to the
characteristic of optical technology; light is hard to bounce back on a dark surface.
⚫Depending on the condition of use, heart rate might be inaccurate in underwater
activities.
⚫Compare to the electrocardiography (ECG) heart rate strap, Optical Heart Rate
monitor is a more comfortable and accessible solution. However, if you prefer heart
rate chest strap, you can also look up ALATECH Heart Rate Strap (Model: CS010、
CS011、CS012)
Warning: Optical heart rate sensor may not be suitable for every user. The heart
rate may be higher or lower than the actual data depending on the user’s
physical condition or the activity type.
