Important safety information
ATTENTION:
Important safety information for the batteries
WARNING!
Keep batteries out of reach of small children. If a battery is swallowed, you must
seek medical attention immediately. Batteries/rechargeable batteries must always
be inserted in the correct polarity. If necessary, clean the battery and device
contacts. Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Never short-circuit
or attempt to open batteries. Never throw batteries into fire as they may explode. If
the device will not be used for an extended time period, remove the battery and
store the device in a dry and dust-free area. Improper use of the battery can lead to
explosion or leakage. If the battery leaks, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous
membranes. Use gloves. If you are exposed to battery acid, rinse the affected areas
with plenty of clean water and immediately seek medical attention. Remove
discharged batteries from the device as they present an increased risk of leakage.

Cleaning and user maintenance of the device may not be performed by children
without supervision. Keep packaging films out of the hands of children. There is a
danger of suffocation.
Optical heart rate measuring
Your heart rate monitor watch measures your heart rate at your wrist using an
optical sensor. A chest belt is not required when using this method.
Blood circulation
Blood circulation varies from person to person and may differ intra-individually (for
example, between the left and right arms). In some cases, natural blood flow may
not be optimal for heart rate measurement with an optical sensor in certain
individuals.
Environmental factors
If the ambient temperature is too low, blood flow to the forearms can be reduced
and this may reduce measurement accuracy.
Skin Colour
Skin reflectivity is influenced by the colour of the skin surface. In principle, the less
light is absorbed through the skin surface, the better the heart rate measurement.
Strong pigmentation of the skin, scarring and tattooing can therefore adversely
affect the measurement accuracy.
Keep skin dry and clean
It is important to keep your watch and skin clean and dry. Dry will maximize comfort
and prevent damage to the watch. This is especially important during workouts or
exposure to liquids. Liquids such as sweat, soap, sunscreen, and lotions can reduce
measurement accuracy.
Posture
Improper posture (such as sharply bent wrists) will affect the circulation of the
forearms and reduce heart rate measurement accuracy.

Correct positioning of the heart rate monitor watch
Place the heart rate monitor watch on your wrist. The correct positioning is important
for precise measurements.
To measure the heart rate, the heart rate monitor watch must be snugly fitted around
your wrist. The display must face upward and must be positioned one finger-width
behind the wrist bones. The sensor must be touching the skin. The heart rate monitor
watch must not be worn so tightly that blood circulation is reduced. While you are
not working out, the watch should be worn more loosely around your wrist- in the
style of a normal watch. Wear the watch slightly more tightly around your wrist while
working out to maximise the precision of the heart rate measurement.
Many exercises such as cycling or weightlifting require you to angle your wrists. This
may interfere with the heart rate measurement if the heart rate monitor watch is worn
too low on the wrist. For the best results, wear your heart rate monitor watch for a
few minutes before you begin your workout.
If your hands or skin feels cool quickly, warm up your skin below the sensor. Do
some warm up exercises before you begin your workout.
Ensure that the heart rate monitor watch has skin contact.
Do not wear the heart rate monitor watch too tightly around your wrist as this
may interfere with blood circulation and reduce measurement precision.
- 7
-
The heart rate monitor watch should be worn slightly more tightly around your
wrist when working out.
During very intense workouts or other activities, which cause forceful or
arrhythmic movements of your wrist, the sensor may not be able to measure
your heart rate correctly.
If your heart rate monitor watch does not display your heart rate, relax your
wrist and remain motionless for a short while (approximately 10 seconds). Your
heart rate should now appear.

Stride length setting
The stride length display appears. Enter your stride length for walking and running
by pressing SET/LIGHT. Press SEL to confirm each setting. Save by pressing MODE.
To determine your stride length, measure a distance of (for example) 100m. Walk
or run (depending on the value you wish to set) the distance with uniform strides and
count your steps. Divide the distance by the number of strides and convert the metres
to centimetres.
NOTE: Please set the values for walking and running even if you intend to use the
watch solely for walking. In this case, set the value for running as “fast walking”. A
meaningful result can only be achieved only if both values are entered. If the values
are not entered, the watch will use default values, which may not match your
personal movement profile.
NOTE: If the displayed values for distance strongly deviate from the actual distance
travelled, the stride length setting must be repeated. Your gait, your shoes and the
properties of the ground you are travelling on will always have an impact on the
measured values.

BMI (Body Mass Index)
The BMI is a statistical measurement that can be used to judge a person’s weight.
For adults, a value between 18.5 and 25 is considered normal. Values below 18.5
are considered "underweight". Values above 25 are considered "overweight".
Values above 30 are considered "obese". The BMI is only a coarse guideline
because it does not take a persons body type and body composition (fat/muscle
tissue) into consideration.
The watch automatically calculates your BMI from the values entered during setup.

The heart rate monitor watch was developed for activities on a flat plane. Steep
hills or stairs will cause a reduced distance measurement.
The displayed heart rate is not correct
Ensure that the heart rate monitor watch is positioned and fastened correctly.
Do warmup exercises to warm up your skin before you begin your workout.
Ensure that the heart rate monitor watch has skin contact
Don’t wear the heart rate monitor watch too tightly around your wrist as this
may interfere with blood circulation and reduce measurement precision
The heart rate monitor watch should be worn slightly more tightly around your

Replacing the battery
Battery replacements can be performed in conjunction with a water resistance test
by a watchmaker. If you wish to replace the battery yourself you may proceed as
follows:
Remove the 4 screws on the back side of the heart rate monitor watch with a small
Phillips head screwdriver. Open the case back (1). Use a small, flat tool to lift the
battery (2). Remove the battery and insert a new 3V CR2032 battery (3) with the
positive terminal facing upwards. Check the correct seating of the gasket. Close the
case back, reinsert and fasten the screws.
