INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Oregon Scientific™ Heart Rate Monitor
Watch (SE300) as your sports fitness product of choice.
IMPORTANT This product is for sport purposes only and it is not
meant to replace any medical advice.
This manual contains important safety and care information, and
provides step-by-step instructions for using this product. Read the
manual thoroughly, and keep it in a safe place in case you need to
refer to it later.
TRAINING INFORMATION
HOW THE HEART RATE MONITOR HELPS YOU
A heart rate monitor is the most important tool in cardiovascular health
and an ideal training partner. It enables you to see and monitor results.
This helps you assess your past performance, maximize your workout
and adapt your future exercise program to achieve your desired goals
in a safer and more effective way.
When you exercise, the chest belt picks up your heartbeat and sends
it to the watch. Now you can view your heart rate and start monitoring
your performance based on your heart rate readings. As you get fitter,
your heart will need to do less work and the speed of your heartbeat
will decrease. The reason for this is as follows:
• Your heart pumps blood to your lungs to obtain oxygen. Then,
the oxygen rich blood will travel to your muscles. The oxygen is
used as fuel and the blood leaves the muscles and returns to
the lungs to begin the process again. As you get fit, your heart is
able to pump more blood with every beat. As a result, your heart
doesn’t have to beat as often to get the necessary oxygen to your
muscles.
TRAINING TIPS
To gain maximum benefit from your training program and to ensure
that you exercise safely, please observe the following guidelines:
• Start with a well-defined training goal, such as to lose weight, keep
fit, improve health or compete in a sporting event.
• Select a training activity you enjoy and vary your training activities
to exercise different muscle groups.
SE300_M_EN_USA.indd 3 8/31/06 12:12:28 PM

EN
• Start slowly, and then gradually step up your workout as
you become fitter. Exercise regularly. To maintain a healthy
cardio-vascular system, 20-30 minutes three times a week is
recommended.
• Always allow at least five minutes before and after exercising for
warm-up and cool-down.
• Measure your pulse after training. Then repeat the procedure
again after three minutes. If it does not return to its normal resting
rate, you may have trained too hard.
• Always check with your doctor before starting a vigorous training
program.

To turn on the watch (first-time use only):
Press any key for 2 seconds to activate the LCD.
WEARING THE CHEST BELT AND WATCH
CHEST BELT
The heart rate chest belt is used to count your heartbeat and transmit
the data to the watch.
To wear the chest belt:
1. Wet the conductive pads on the
underside of the chest belt with
a few drops of water or a conductive
gel to ensure solid contact.
2. Strap the heart rate chest belt across
your chest. To ensure an accurate
heart rate signal, adjust the strap until
the belt sits snugly below your pectoral
muscles.
TIPS
• The position of the chest belt affects its performance. Move the
chest belt along the strap so that it falls 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.
WATCH
You can wear the receiver watch on your wrist or strap it to a bike or
exercise machine, as shown below.

TRANSMISSION SIGNAL
The chest belt and watch have a maximum transmission range of about
62.5 centimeters (25 inches). They are equipped with the latest digital
coding system to reduce signal interference from the environment and
for more accurate readings.
NOTE Whenever the watch is searching for the chest belt signal
(manual or automatic search), make sure that the chest belt is no
further than 10 cm (4 inches) from the watch.
ICON DESCRIPTION
The outer heart flashes
Searching for a signal
The inside heart flashes
A signal has been found
No signal has been found
NOTE If the watch is kept idle without receiving a signal from the
chest belt for 5 minutes, the heart rate and speed functions will be
turned off.
SE300_M_EN_USA.indd 9 8/31/06 12:12:42 PM

EN
IMPORTANT If the heart rate icon does not appear on the display
or is not flashing because no signal has been found, force a signal
search. See “Signal Search” section for how to do this.
In the event that you experience a weak signal or your signal is
disrupted by interference in the environment, follow the instructions
below to identify and resolve the situation.
1. The signal is weak – the watch will only show “0”:
• Shorten the distance between the heart rate chest belt and watch.
• Re-adjust the position of the heart rate chest belt.
• Check the batteries. If they are low or exhausted, the range may be less.
• Force a signal search (see “Signal Search” section).
2. Interference from another person’s heart rate monitor – their heart
rate readings appear on your watch, or the watch shows “0”:
• Take the chest belt off for 12 seconds to automatically change
your User ID. (The watch has 4 User ID’s. When the watch
receives the chest belt signal it will tell you which User ID it
has selected. Only products with a digital coding system have
User ID capability.)
NOTE The heart rate readings may interfere with other users if the
distance is less than 84 cm (33 inches).
3. The signal is jammed – the heart rate reading on your watch is flashing:
• There is too much interference in the environment for your
heart rate monitor to function. Move to an area where the
heart rate reading stops flashing.
WARNING Signal interference in the environment can be due to
electromagnetic disturbances. These may occur near high voltage
power lines, traffic 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 and
speed readings may become unstable and inaccurate.
SIGNAL SEARCH
To force a signal search:
1. Press
MODE to enter SPEED, TRAIN or CHRONO Mode.
2. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds. The signal-searching icon
with
the outside flashing will appear to confirm a signal search is taking place.
Whenever the watch is searching for the chest belt signal, make sure that
the chest belt is no further than 10 cm (4 inches) from the watch.
SE300_M_EN_USA.indd 10 8/31/06 12:13:01 PM

EN
The signal search will take approximately 10 seconds. If after 10
seconds the heart icon is not flashing, then your signal search has been
unsuccessful and you need to force another signal search. See the table in
the “Transmission Signal” section for more signal status information.
SETTING THE KEYPAD TONE / LIGHT MODE
You can set the watch to have the:
• Keypad “Beep” tone ON or OFF.
• Light Mode ON or OFF
(see “Activating the Backlight”
section).
To set these features:
1. Press
MODE to enter TIME Mode.
2. Press
SET until you reach the feature you wish to change.
3. Press
ST / SP / + or LAP / MEM / - to change the setting.
4. Press
SET to confirm the setting and move on to the next one.
ACTIVATING THE BACKLIGHT
To activate when the Light Mode is set to OFF:
• Press
to turn on the backlight for 3 seconds. Press any other key
whilst the light is on and it will extend the light time by another 3 seconds.
To activate when the Light Mode is set to ON:
• Press any key to turn ON or extend the backlight for 3 seconds.
To help conserve power the Light Mode ON setting will automatically
switch to OFF after 2 hours.
NOTE The backlight does not work when the low battery icon is
shown and will return to normal once the battery is replaced.
