MAXIMUM / LOWER / UPPER HEART RATE
Before you begin any exercise program and to achieve maximum health benefi ts from your workout, it is important to know your:
• Maximum heart rate (MHR)
• Lower heart rate limit
• Upper heart rate limit
MHR % DESCRIPTION
Health Maintenance: Low intensity training level. Good for those who want to strengthen their cardiovascular systems
Aerobic Exercise: Increases strength and endurance. Works within body’s oxygen intake capability, burns more calories, can be maintained for a long period of time
Anaerobic: Generates speed and power. Works at or above body’s oxygen intake capability, builds muscle, and cannot be maintained for a long period of time

NOTES:
• Sound alert will only be activated if alert setting is ON and during
exercise (when stopwatch is running).
• If the watch is kept idle without receiving a heart rate signal for 5
minutes, the heart rate mode will quit and return to clock mode.
MHR = 220-age

USER DATA

To access the full benefi ts of this product, set up your user data before you exercise. This will automatically generate a fi tness index, and enable the watch to calculate the level of calories burned when exercising. This information helps you track your progress over time.

burned and fi tness index.
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).
ICON DESCRIPTION
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 mode.
2. To start / stop / resume the stopwatch, press ST / SP.

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.

DESCRIPTION
Continuous fl ashing The watch battery is low
Intermittent fl ashing
The batteries typically last one year.

To assure the water resistance take the watch to a local jewelry store for battery replacement. Improper replacement will void the warranty.
IMPORTANT:
Remember to set the profi les after every battery replacement or reset.
The watch battery is too low to run the backlight
24
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.
