Congratulations on your purchase of the CW F500 heart rate moni­tor.
Whether you work out on a regular basis or you just want to stay
in shape, the CW F500 heart rate monitor is made for you.

Thanks to the automatic target zone featuring an out-of-zone

alarm, the simultaneous display of the heart rate and of the

stopwatch, the display of the intensity of exertion in % and

calories expended, the CW F500 will enable you to manage

your training or fitness sessions with precision, so you will

reach your objectives.

This product features an exclusive principle of dynamic heart

rate measurement. This mechanism adapts to the intensity of
exertion to offer an optimal compromise between the stability and
the reactivity of the measurement. This product is also designed
to provide a comfortable fit for all body types and to be easy to use
during workouts.

Please read the owner's manual carefully before use. Keep the

NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE

This CW F500 heart rate monitor consists of a watch and a chest belt.

• The watch is designed to be worn on the wrist or on its bike mount during multi­sport physical activities, carried out in a temperate climate. It is used for displaying
the various data and for controlling the functions with the buttons.
The chest belt must be positioned on the thorax. If correctly placed, it transmits
information on the heart rate to the watch. Located in the reception cone (see dia­gram), the watch then displays the heart rate and offers different items of supple­mentary information (target zone, intensity of exercise etc.) to guide and optimize
your fitness or training programs.
The chest belt does not incorporate coded transmission technology. Interference
may occur if you are too close to other heart rate monitor users (about 1 meter).

FIRST USE

Before using your CW F500 heart rate monitor, please read the owner's manual
carefully and follow the setting procedures with care.

The batteries

The battery used in the chest belt is a CR2032.
The battery used in the watch is a CR2032.

Watch:

We recommend that you not change the watch batteries yourself, but rather have
the job done by a specialized DECATHLON repair shop. If you change the battery
yourself, you may damage the seal and lose both the water tightness and warran­tee on the product.
Please check the availability of the battery with your dealer before replacing it.

Chest belt:

If the heart rate indications become inconsistent or if the heart symbol does not
flash on the screen, even though the watch is in the reception cone, it may be
necessary to change the battery in the chest belt.
You can change the belt battery yourself, without the aid of any specialized tool.
Changing procedure:

• Unscrew with a coin, then remove the cover of the battery compartment

• Remove the old battery by tapping on the opposite side of the belt

• Replace the used battery with a lithium 3V type CR2032 battery without touching
either of its 2 terminals (it may discharge), with the + terminal (printed surface) up.

• Carefully replace the cover, then screw it down again by a quarter turn to the
"close" position.

In the event of a problem, refer to the troubleshooting table.

RECYCLING

The “crossed-out wastebasket” symbol indicates that this product
and the batteries it contains cannot be disposed of with household
waste. They are subject to a specific type of sorting. Deposit the bat­teries and your unusable electronic product in an authorized collec­tion area for recycling. This treatment of your electronic waste will
protect the environment and your health.

RESTRICTIONS ON USE
Precautions:

• Handle the device with care; do not drop it or bang it.

• Do not dismantle the watch. This will void the warranty and may cause damage
and loss of waterproofing.
Do not subject the watch to extreme temperatures. If the watch is exposed to direct
sunlight for too long, the display may darken temporarily, but it will go back to nor­mal once it has cooled down again.

• Clean the watch and the belt with a soft, damp cloth only. Do not use detergents,
as they may damage the materials of your watch. Only the elastic of the belt may
be machine washed (30°).

Waterproof design:

The watch is waterproof to 5 ATM. It can therefore be use in humid conditions, in
heavy rain, in the shower or for swimming. However, avoid diving and wearing the
watch at depths below 5 meters. Do not operate the buttons underwater.
The chest belt is only "water resistant". It is therefore impermeable to sweat and
can be used in rain or under damp clothing. It must not be worn in the shower or
when swimming, however.

Caution!!!

This device is designed for use in sports and leisure activities. This is not a medi­cal monitoring device. The data provided by this device or in this booklet are for
informational purposes only and must not be used to monitor pathologies, except
after consultation with and consent of your physician.
Even athletes in good health must take into account that the determination of the
maximum heart rate and personal training zone is a vital element in the setting up
effective, risk-free training.
The advice of your physician or health professional is recommended for determi­ning your maximum heart rate, your upper and lower cardiac limits and the fre­quency and duration of exercise adjusted to your age, physical condition and tar­geted results.
Finally, due to possible disturbances generated by the radio transmission system,
we do not recommend that persons wearing pacemakers use a heart rate monitor
utilizing this technology, such as the CW F500.

Not taking these precautions may result in a vital risk.
