THE PULSEMETER

A person's pulse rate indicates the number of times that the heart beats within a given amount of time. This unit attempts to calculate approximately how many times a heart will beat in one minute. Many factors such as smoking, eating, breathing and stress can affect the rate at which a person's heart will beat. Monitoring pulse rate can be useful for determining how hard the heart is working at a given level of activity. Such information can be used to plan an effective exercise routine.

HOW TO USE THE PULSEMETER:

1. In either current-time or timer display, press [PULSE ], the display will show a heart.

2. Position your right index finger so that the padded portion is over the pulse sensor.

3. Maintain a steady position, holding too forcefully or too lightly may result in an incorrect reading.

4. After several seconds a pulse rate will display. [FIG. I] Note: When your finger is positioned properly, the heart icon on

the display will flash. This indicates that the unit is reading a pulse. The unit will display the number of beats per minute of your heart.

If, for some reason, the unit cannot read a pulse within a given time it will automatically return to the previous display mode.

Press [PULSE ] and try taking your pulse again.

5. To exit pulse mode display, press to [PULSE ] followed by [MODE / SET] to toggle between clock and count-up / down timer modes.

THE BACK LIGHT

Ideal for nighttime viewing of the display, the LCD can be illuminated. The EL back light casts a greenish-blue light evenly across the LCD making information easy to read.

To activate the back light: Press [ RESET / ADV].
