Wearing the device

When wearing the product, make sure it does not touch the bone on your wrist. Wear the product closely around your wrist. Tighten the wrist band if your pulse (heart rate) is not measured correctly. However do not wear the product too tight. If you feel any discomfort, loosen the wristband.

Sensor (reads your pulse on the back of your wrist)

Note:

❏ After putting the device on, press the A button on the Time screen, and check that your pulse is being measured. Your

pulse (heart rate) should be displayed within about 30 seconds. If it is not displayed, readjust the position of the device (see above illustration), or tighten the wrist band.

❏ The device may not be able to measure accurately if it is not in contact with your skin or if it moves around too much

while exercising. Try tightening the wrist band by one hole.

Important:

The accuracy of the heart rate sensor is affected by cold body or ambient temperature. Protect the device by wearing it under a sleeve in cold or windy conditions. A warning (see below illustration) will trigger if the device temperature will drop too low.

When you change to the measurement screen, the device receives a signal from various satellites, and identifies your position to use for measurement.

Important:

While identifying a GPS, make sure you are outside with no obstructions overhead, and try to keep the device as still as possible.

Operation buttons

Go to a location outside with no

obstructions overhead.

Note:

It usually takes less than two minutes to complete GPS positioning.

If it takes more than two minutes and Failed is displayed, we recommend selecting Cancel, moving to a different location, and trying again.

When the measurement screen is displayed, you can start measuring. U “Measure” on page 37

Skipping GPS positioning

If you want to start measuring immediately, or if GPS positioning is taking too long, select Skip during GPS positioning and start measuring.

Perform GPS positioning.

Press C.

GPS positioning starts.

When GPS positioning is complete, the measurement screen is displayed.

GPS positioning continues while measuring, and when positioning is complete the device starts recording positional information. The routes before GPS positioning is complete and while using indoor mode are not recorded. Distance and pace data can still be measured. The device will use the stride sensor until a GPS connection is made. U “Measurable Items” on page 35

Indoor mode

This function allows you to measure without performing GPS positioning. Use this when GPS positioning cannot be performed because you are indoors and so on.

The route and so on is not recorded in indoor mode. Also, measurement items are limited in indoor mode. U “Measurable Items” on page 35

❏ Select Indoor during GPS positioning

❏ If GPS positioning fails, select Indoor on the screen

SF-810 User Manual

Preparing and Basic Operations

Making precise measurements

In the following situations, complete GPS positioning, display the measurement screen, and then wait outside for at least 15 minutes with no obstructions overhead. This allows you to make precise measurements.

❏ When you use the device for the first time after purchase

❏ When the device has not been used for several months

You need not make these preparations from the second time.

Note:

The basic configuration of the GPS system is 24 satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 20,000 km, with at least four satellites travelling in six different orbits. The GPS receiver acquires data from four satellites and calculates the latitude, longitude, altitude, and time. Measuring can start once positioning has been performed and this information has been received. Since you can receive more detailed GPS navigation data (satellite orbital information) after 15 minutes from this point, you can make more precise measurements.

However, errors may occur in distance measurements, even after waiting 15 minutes or more, due to atmospheric conditions and the usage environment.

Educating Your Pulse and Stride Sensor

About the pulse/stride sensor

This product has a built-in pulse sensor and a stride sensor. The pulse sensor detects your pulse (heart rate) accurately simply by wearing the device directly on your wrist. The stride sensor calculates distance and laps with high precision, as well as measures your pitch and stride even when GPS signal is lost such as in a tunnel, and so on.

Educating the sensors for pulse and stride

When using the device for the first time, run under the following conditions so that the your pulse (heart rate) and stride are accurately detected and learnt by the sensor.

Location/Time

Run in the following locations that allow GPS positioning.

❏ When outside with no obstructions overhead: Approximately 10 mins.

❏ When surrounded by tall buildings: approximately 30 mins.

Measure

Measure using the chronograph function. U “Measuring Time, Distance, and Speed (Chronograph Function)” on page 40

Note:

❏ You don't need make these preparations from the second time. However, note if the device is reset so you have to go

through the device set up again you will need to repeat this process.

❏ The device's stride sensor is used for running and walking.

❏ Usage, for example educates the pulse/stride sensor according to your primary usage for example if you plan to use the

device to measure running, run at your usual pace to educate the sensor. Errors may occur if your pulse/stride pattern is significantly different to the learning session.
