Overexertion can cause serious injury, including heart
attacks. Some individuals cannot safely elevate their heart
rate to the levels of typically used heart rate training zones.
No one should begin an exercise program without first
obtaining medical clearance, especially if there is a personal
or family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, if
you are over age 40, have diabetes, high cholesterol, smoke
cigarettes, are overweight or are taking certain medications.
Stop exercising and seek medical attention if you notice
signs of overexertion or heart problems, such as pain or
pressure in the left or mid-chest area or left neck area,
shoulder or arm, light-headedness, cold sweat, unusual
paleness or fainting. Also note that the signals used by this
monitor may interfere with a pacemaker or other implanted
devices. Consult the manufacturer of the implant device
and/or your physician prior to using this monitor.

Determining Your Exercise
Factor
The Exercise Factor is one of the variables
used by the watch in estimating the amount of
calories burned during your workout. The most
common forms of exercise are listed in the table
below. Select a number from the table below
based on how hard you plan to exercise for a
given activity and set your watch accordingly
(see Setting Instructions on page 11). If you do
not find the particular activity you are looking
for, refer to one that is similar.

Battery Replacement
We recommend that you should take it to a
local jewelry store or an authorized Acumen
service center in order to guarantee that it will
maintain its water resistance. Improper battery
replacement or service will void the warranty.
If you fell comfortable replacing your own
batteries, be careful to notice how the old
battery comes out and the proper positioning
of the hold-down contacts before removing it.
Also, be careful to line up the o-ring gasket
properly before replacing the battery door
cover. To insure battery water resistance, it’s
a good idea to smear a small drop of silicone
lubricant spray on the rubber o-ring.
Note: The watch will enter the shelf mode (i.e.
blank screen) after changing battery. Press any
button to return to normal mode.
14
General Precautions
Do not operate buttons under water. Although
your watch is water resistant, be sure that you
do not operate its buttons under water as
pressure can cause them to leak.
Dry off transmitter after use. The transmitter
will automatically shut itself off once you have
disconnected it from your chest. However, it
is important to thoroughly dry it off after every
use, since moisture in the electrodes can cause
it to remain on longer.
Electrode precautions. Be sure not to
excessively twist or bend the electrode portions
of the chest transmitter (never bend
backwards), especially when storing it. This
can permanently damage their conductivity
and cause mechanical damage to the internal
circuit.
Global Reset. If your watch should ever get
stuck or act erratically due to dropping it, static
shock or some other unforeseen reasons, this
feature will allow you to reset the watch and
return all settings back to their internal defaults.
To perform this function by pressing and holding
all buttons at once. The watch will enter the
shelf mode, which is of the blank screen. Press
any button to restart it. .
Caution: THIS WILL CLEAR EVERYTHING!
Including all of your personal settings.
