Supported Heart Rate Range (0x2AD7): byte layout
GATT characteristic · org.bluetooth.characteristic.supported_heart_rate_range · read from the Bluetooth SIG’s repository on 2026-10-17 · commit 408f4a0 (2026-10-14)
Supported Heart Rate Range is Bluetooth GATT characteristic 0x2AD7, org.bluetooth.characteristic.supported_heart_rate_range in the Bluetooth SIG's assigned numbers. The SIG's GATT Specification Supplement file lays its value out as 3 fields: Minimum Heart Rate, Maximum Heart Rate and Minimum Increment. Every field has a fixed size, 3 octets in all.

org.bluetooth.characteristic.supported_heart_rate_range- The SIG’s description
- The Supported Heart Rate Range characteristic is used to represent the heart rate range supported by a fitness machine.The structure of this characteristic is defined below.
- Service the SIG’s files tie it to
- None: no file in the repository lists this characteristic under a service.

Byte layout: 3 fields
In the order the SIG’s structure lists them. Type and size are as published; sizes count octets except where a struct is marked as sized in bits. The offset is printed only where every earlier field has a fixed size; where an earlier field can be absent or vary, the cell names what it depends on. “Present when” is read from the field’s own “Present if” line, shown in full in the field notes below.
| Offset | Field | Type | Size | Present when | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Minimum Heart Rate | uint8 | 1 | Always (fixed size) | period (beats per minute)org.bluetooth.unit.period.beats_per_minute |
| 1 | Maximum Heart Rate | uint8 | 1 | Always (fixed size) | period (beats per minute)org.bluetooth.unit.period.beats_per_minute |
| 2 | Minimum Increment | uint8 | 1 | Always (fixed size) | period (beats per minute)org.bluetooth.unit.period.beats_per_minute |

Questions
- What is the UUID of the Supported Heart Rate Range characteristic?
- 0x2AD7. The Bluetooth SIG's characteristic_uuids.yaml lists Supported Heart Rate Range as 0x2AD7 with the identifier org.bluetooth.characteristic.supported_heart_rate_range. No file in the SIG's repository ties it to a service: the repository lists service and characteristic UUIDs separately.
- Are any Supported Heart Rate Range fields optional?
- No. Every field in the SIG's structure has a size that cannot be zero: Minimum Heart Rate (uint8, 1), Maximum Heart Rate (uint8, 1) and Minimum Increment (uint8, 1).
- What units does Supported Heart Rate Range use?
- The SIG's text names a unit for 3 of the 3 fields: Minimum Heart Rate: period (beats per minute) (org.bluetooth.unit.period.beats_per_minute); Maximum Heart Rate: period (beats per minute) (org.bluetooth.unit.period.beats_per_minute); Minimum Increment: period (beats per minute) (org.bluetooth.unit.period.beats_per_minute).
- How many bytes is a Supported Heart Rate Range value?
- 3 octets. Every field has a fixed size in the SIG's structure: Minimum Heart Rate at offset 0 (uint8, 1), Maximum Heart Rate at offset 1 (uint8, 1) and Minimum Increment at offset 2 (uint8, 1).
