INTRODUCTION
Dear Customer, congratulations on buying our HeartBit device!
Please read this user manual carefully. Please make sure to check the latest released version of the manual on the

INTENDED USE & FEATURES
HeartBit tness monitoring device is intended to use
during physical activity, primarily running and walking.
With each heartbeat, an electrical impulse travels through
your heart. If these impulses are captured properly, a
waveform, so called electrocardiogram can be outlined.
This waveform reects the electrical activity of the heart
and from its shape numerous heart specic parameters
can be read by a professional (PA or cardiologist). To mon-
itor these parameters not only at rest but during physical
activity is extremely important as some heart issues only
become apparent during exercise. By using HeartBit on
regular basis, the body-worn 3-lead tness monitoring
device your heart’s electrical activities are captured, safe-
ly stored. Please note do not use HeartBit for any purpose
other than as specied in this User Manual. HeartBit de-
vice only compatible with HeartBit Multi-Sensor T-shirt.

– PRIOR AND DURING WORKOUT
It’s very important to choose the right size of the
T-Shirt. Make sure the t-shirt is tightly tted on your
body and the sensors are contact with your skin (even
if you bend over). The more the t-shirt ts your body,
the more adherent are the sensors thus the more ac-
curate measurements of your workout can be taken.
Make sure to charge your HeartBit device using the
docking station. To get it fully charge it takes approx. 2
hours (from 0% to 100%). The charging state is indicat-
ed by the device’s green LED light.
If the device works properly its LED ashes after turn-
ing it on. During workout no blinking occurs.
Before you put on the Multi-Sensor T-Shirt make sure
to wet the sponge part of the four sensors of the
T-shirt (3 on the front, 1 on the back). After watering,
apply few drops of the HeartBit gel to all sensors’
sponge parts. Put the Multi-Sensor T-Shirt on.
Make sure all sensors are still wet before you start
working out and repeat the above steps if needed
during your physical activity.
The HeartBit gel coat and the wetting may cause a cool
feeling.
Phone and smartwatch
If you plan to working out by using your smartphone,
start the application on your phone.
If you want to use your smart watch during your work-
out, start the app on your smart watch.
Either above case is selected, make sure to take that
device with you on which the application has been
started. Without your phone or smartwatch the app
will not be able to record your workout or ECG data.
For the list of compatible smartphones and smart-
watches please visit the HeartBit website.

– AFTER WORKOUT
In order to display your workout and health data in the
Member Zone, a synchronization is needed.
We suggest that your phone is connected to the wi.
Due to the big amount of data the synchronization
could take up to one third of the total workout time
(eg. 20 minutes for a 60-minute run).
Make sure your phone is close to the HeartBit device
(within Bluetooth distance, max. 2 meters). It’s nec-
essary to keep the constant connection between the
two devices as during the synchronization process the
application on your phone is going to erase all your
recorded data from the HeartBit device and - in the
meantime - transfer those to the Member Zone.
Place the HeartBit device on the charger and make
sure its LED is ashing. Make sure that your HeartBit
device has been charged at least 40%.
Open the application and
click on Settings where you
can choose from the follow-
ing two options:
a) By clicking on “Sync My
Running Details Now” you
can upload your running re-
lated data such as weather
conditions, length, time, map
etc. to the Member Zone. In
this case your ECG data will
not be transferred.
b) By clicking on “Sync My
Full ECG Data Now” both,
the running data (see above
at 2.a)) and health data are
going to be seen in the Mem-
ber Zone.

ered eld, on a treadmill or lack of a GPS signal.
