Troubleshooting
Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data
If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try
these tips.
• Clean and dry your arm before putting on the device.
• Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent under
the device.
• Avoid scratching the heart rate sensor on the back of the
device.
• Wear the device above your wrist bone. The device should
be snug but comfortable.
• Wait until the icon is solid before starting your activity.
• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes and get a heart rate reading
before starting your activity.
NOTE: In cold environments, warm up indoors.
• Rinse the device with fresh water after each workout.
My intensity minutes are flashing
When you exercise at an intensity level that qualifies toward
your intensity minutes goal, the intensity minutes flash.
Exercise for at least 10 consecutive minutes at a moderate or
vigorous intensity level.
The floors climbed amount does not seem
accurate
Your device uses an internal barometer to measure elevation
changes as you climb floors. A floor climbed is equal to 3 m
(10 ft.).
• Locate the small barometer holes on the back of the device,
near the charging contacts, and clean the area around the
charging contacts.
The barometer performance may be affected if the barometer
holes are obstructed. You can use canned air to clear
obstructions. You can rinse the device with water to clean the
area.
After cleaning, allow the device to dry completely.
• Avoid holding handrails or skipping steps while climbing
stairs.
Maximizing Battery Life
• Turn off the Auto Backlight setting (Device Settings on Your
Garmin Connect Account, page 6).
• Decrease the backlight brightness (Device Settings, page 7).
• In your smartphone notification center settings, limit the
notifications that appear on your vívosmart HR/HR+ device
(Managing Notifications, page 5).
• Turn off smart notifications (Bluetooth Settings, page 5).
• Turn off Bluetooth wireless technology when you are not
using connected features (Turning Off Bluetooth Wireless
Technology, page 5).
• Stop broadcasting heart rate data to paired Garmin devices
(Broadcasting Heart Rate Data to Garmin
®
Devices, page 3).
• Turn off wrist-based heart rate monitoring (Device Settings,
page 7).
NOTE: Wrist-based heart rate monitoring is used to calculate
vigorous intensity minutes and calories burned.
