FITNESS INDEX
The watch will generate a fi tness index based on your aerobic fi tness.
This index is dependent and limited by the body’s ability to deliver
oxygen to the working muscles in training. It is often measured
by maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 Max), which is defi ned as the
highest amount of oxygen that can be utilized when exercising at an
increasingly demanding level. The lungs, heart, blood, circulatory
system, and working muscles are all factors in determined VO2 Max.
The unit of VO2 Max is ml/kg min.

WEARING THE CHEST BELT
CHEST BELT
The chest belt counts your heartbeat and transmits this data to the watch.
1. Wet the conductive pads on the
underside of the chest belt with a few
drops of water or conductive gel to
ensure solid contact.
2. Strap the chest belt across your chest
making sure the belt sits snugly
below your pectoral muscles.
TIPS
• For accurate heart rate readings, make
sure the chest belt is placed 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 watch is kept idle without receiving a heart rate signal
for about 5 minutes, the heart rate mode will quit.
19
WEARING THE CHEST BELT
TRANSMISSION SIGNAL
The chest belt and watch have a maximum transmission range of about
25 inches (62.5 cm).
ICONDESCRIPTION
Flashes when signal has been found
Appears when heart rate alert is ON
In the event that you experience a weak signal or your signal is
disrupted by interference in the environment:
• Shorten the distance between the chest belt and watch.
• Re-adjust the position of the chest belt.
• Check the conductive pads are moist enough to ensure solid
contact.
• Check the batteries. If they are low the range may be less.
• When two or more people use the units nearby at the same time,
ensure there is more than 45 inches (112.5 cm) between them.
NOTE: Signal interference in the environment can be due to
electromagnetic disturbances. These may occur near high
voltage power lines, traffi c lights, overhead lines of electric
railways, electric bus lines or trams, televisions, car motors,
bike computers, some motor driven exercise equipment,
cellular phones or when you walk through electric security
gates. Under interference, the heart rate reading may become
unstable and inaccurate.

STOPWATCH
To use the stopwatch:
1. Press MODE to navigate to stopwatch

PERCENTAGE HEART RATE READING
The percentage heart rate reading is calculated from your current heart
rate and MHR:
The higher the percentage, the harder the heart is working. For
example, when you reach 80-90% you should consider slowing down
to a more comfortable exercise level.

To assure the water resistance take the watch to a local jewelry store
for battery replacement. Improper replacement will void the warranty.

BATTERIES
The chest belt uses a CR2032 3V battery, which has already been
installed. If the heart rate signals become unsteady or stop your chest
belt battery may need replacing.
To replace the chest belt battery:
1. Using a coin, twist the battery door counter-clockwise until it
clicks out of place.
2. Replace the old battery and close the battery door by twisting it
clockwise until it is fi rmly in place.

Care and Maintenance
USE IN THE WATER
The watch is water-resistant up to 164 feet. The chest belt is splash
proof, but should not be worn for underwater activities, as the heart
rate transmission cannot occur under water. Refer to the table for
proper use guidelines.
