TIPS
•The position of the chest belt affects its performance. Move the chest belt along the strap so that it falls above your heart.
•Avoid areas with dense chest hair.
•In dry, cold climates, it may take several minutes for the chest belt to function steadily. This is normal and should improve with several minutes of exercise.
NOTE If the belt is kept idle without receiving a heart rate signal for 5 minutes, the unit will automatically return to Sleep Mode.
HEADPHONE
You can wear the headphone as you would for a portable audio player or similar device. Connect the headphone directly to the chest belt as shown.
NOTE For more information on how to connect the radio (AH310, AH310A, AH310E models only) see FM Radio section.
EN BASIC OPERATION
POWER ON
To turn the unit on:
1.Connect headphones.
2.Press and hold FUNC.
NOTE If no heart rate is detected for 5 minutes the unit will automatically return to Sleep Mode.
TUTORIAL
The first time the unit is switched on a welcome greeting will begin in the default language (English). Press any key when you hear your desired language. Then, listen to the voice prompts to change the other settings (see table below). You MUST enter your settings to use this product effectively.
