The parts of the HONOR Band 9 are identified as follows:

To ensure comfort and measurement accuracy for your HONOR Band 9, please follow these guidelines:

Make sure the back of your HONOR Band 9 is clean and dry, and adjust the strap so that your band fits snugly and comfortably on your wrist.

Do not put a protective film on the back of your band, as it may block the sensor and lead to failed or inaccurate measurements of heart rate, SpO2, sleep, and other monitoring data.

To ensure the accuracy of the monitoring results, wear your band at least one finger away from your wrist. Don’t wear it too loosely or too tightly, but make sure that it is attached securely during a workout.

Your HONOR Band 9 uses non-toxic materials that have passed strict skin allergy tests. You can rest easy when wearing it. If you experience skin discomfort when wearing it, take it off and consult a doctor.

Please follow these safety precautions when charging your HONOR Band 9:

Please use an Honor adapter, PC USB port, or power adapter that complies with applicable national/regional regulations and international safety standards. Other adapters and portable chargers may not meet safety standards and could cause issues like slow or insufficient charging.

Keep the surface of the charging port and dock dry and clean to prevent short circuits or other risks. Do not charge or use the product where flammable and explosive items are stored.

When using the charging dock, ensure there is no liquid residue or other foreign matter in the USB port. Keep it away from liquids and flammable items. Do not touch the electrode contacts of the dock while it’s charging to prevent safety hazards.

When charging is complete (indicator shows 100%), the charging will automatically stop. If the charger remains connected when the power is less than 100%, charging will resume automatically.

The charging dock contains magnets which can attract metal objects. Clean it before use. The magnetic substance also means it should not be exposed to high temperatures for long periods, which could lead to demagnetization or other issues.
