Maintenance
- Water Resistance: The device has an IP57 waterproof rating. This means it is protected from dust and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, the leather strap is not water resistant and should be kept dry.
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the device and strap with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Charging Port: Keep the Type-C charging port clean and free of debris to ensure proper charging.
Troubleshooting
- Connection Issues: If the TalkBand B6 fails to connect to your phone, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the band is within range. Restart both devices and try pairing again through the Huawei Health App.
- Inaccurate Readings: For heart rate or SpO2 readings, ensure the band is worn snugly on your wrist, not too tight or too loose. Clean the sensor area regularly.
- Battery Draining Quickly: Reduce screen brightness, disable unnecessary notifications, and limit continuous health monitoring features if not needed to extend battery life.
