Using Your Reebok Icon Safely
Your Reebok Icon is designed to support and encourage healthy, active lifestyles, but it is not a medical device. If you have a heart condition, a pacemaker, or another implanted cardiac device, please review the information below and consult your healthcare professional before use.
Important Information
Reebok wearables use optical sensors and wireless communication (such as Bluetooth®) to measure heart rate and connect to your mobile device. These features may not be appropriate for all users.
Pacemakers and Implanted Devices
Optical heart rate sensors utilize LED pulse technology, which can emit both light and electrical signals.
Wireless features (e.g., Bluetooth, BLE) emit radio frequency (RF) signals.
In rare cases, these may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other implanted devices.
Consult your cardiologist before wearing a wearable device on the arm or wrist near an implanted device.
Persons with a pacemaker or defibrillator should observe the following precautions:
ALWAYS keep the watch more than 20 centimeters (8 inches) from the pacemaker or defibrillator when the watch is turned ON.
Turn OFF the watch immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Heart Rate Tracking
Heart rate data is intended for general wellness and fitness purposes only.
Readings may be affected by factors such as skin tone, tattoos, temperature, movement, and device fit.
Do not use heart rate data for medical diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions.
Always rely on medically-approved equipment for clinical use.
When to Stop Activity
Discontinue activity immediately and seek medical advice if you experience:
Chest pain or tightness
Shortness of breath
Irregular, very rapid, or very slow heartbeat
Dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting
Any unusual or concerning symptoms
