Basics
Introduction
Your SmartBand 2 is a companion product that connects wirelessly via Bluetooth®
with your iPhone. Worn on your dominant wrist, it can monitor your body movements
and interact with your iPhone to generate data about your daily life and habits. For
example, the SmartBand 2 counts your steps and records data about your physical
state while you walk or run.
Your SmartBand 2 is a device you can wear everyday and features a sensor that
monitors your pulse and helps determine your heart rate. When used with a
compatible iPhone device, you can use the SmartBand 2 to receive notifications and
manage your alarms and phone calls.
Before you can get started using your SmartBand 2, you must download the
SmartBand 2 application and set up the accessory to work with your iPhone. Also,
