WEARING THE CHEST BELT
If you only wish to use the stopwatch function (and not record any tness data), skip
to ‘Start exercising’ section.
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. Holding the elastic strap, thread the plastic tab
through the eyelet of the chest belt unit. Turn it
slightly and snap into place.
3. Place the heart rate chest belt slightly below your
chest and wrap the strap around your chest. Pass
the other tab through the remaining eyelet and
snap into place.
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.
• 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 To maintain the best performance of your chest belt, please handle it with care
according to the following:
• Do not wrap the chest belt in a wet towel nor with other wet materials.
• Do not store the chest belt in a hot (about 122°F) and humid (about 90%) environment.
• Do not place or wash the chest belt under running water, instead clean it with a wet
cloth.
• Do not place the conductive rubber face down on a metal table or surface.
• Properly dry the chest belt immediately after use.
TRANSMISSION SIGNAL
The heart rate chest belt and watch have a maximum transmission range of about 25 inches.
They are equipped with the latest digital coding system to reduce signal interference from the
environment, as well as analog technology.
Signal unsuccessful?
The signal search will take approximately
30 seconds. If after 30 seconds the “NO HR
BELT” is displayed, then your signal search
has been unsuccessful. You can either:
1) Press +/ST/SP and proceed to use the watch as a stopwatch (without exercise recording
function); or
2) Press MODE/- to force another signal search.
Analog or Digital?
The digital signal is less susceptible to signal interference and is suitable in crowded areas or
where there are other monitors / equipment. You should only switch to the analog transmission
signal if the situation in point 2 occurs (see ‘Encountering difculties?’ below).
To switch from digital to analog or analog to digital system:
1) Press the chest belt button for more than 6 seconds.
2) Press and hold MODE/- on the watch to force a signal search.
Encountering difculties?
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 may 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 conductive pads are moist enough to ensure solid contact.
• Check the batteries. If they are low or exhausted, the transmission range may be
shortened.
• Press and hold MODE/- to force a signal search.
2. The gym equipment does not seem to work with your chest belt and the digital icon is
displayed:
• Most gym equipment is compatible with the analog system . Press and hold the
chest belt button for more than 6 seconds to change from digital to analog. Then press
and hold MODE/- to force a signal search.
3. Interference from another person’s heart rate monitor - their heart rate readings appear on
your watch, or the readings may uctuate:
• Force another signal search by pressing the chest belt button then press and hold
MODE/- on the watch. Do not press and hold the chest belt button, as it will change
the transmission signal from digital to analog.
4. The signal is jammed - “NO HR BELT” appears on the display after several tries:
• There is too much interference in the environment for your heart rate monitor to
function. Move to an area where the watch can register your heart rate reading.
WARNING Signal interference in the environment can be caused by electromagnetic
disturbances. These may occur near high voltage power lines, trafc 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.
START EXERCISING
If you wish to receive comprehensive calculations (such as your heart rate and the calorie / fat
burned) for an exercise session, before you start, allow the watch a few seconds to search for
chest belt rst. For detailed information or if encountering difculties, refer to “Transmission
signal” section above.

ALERTS
This watch enables you to select a target HR
zone according to your tness goals. By setting
the target HR zone and personal data, the watch
can monitor how well you do. The watch will send
out visual and audible alerts if you are pushing
yourself too hard or need to put more effort in.
For details of HR zones, refer to “Understanding heart rate” section in this manual.
If alert has been enabled and heart rate zone has been set:
ICON BEEP(S) DESCRIPTION
/ ABOVE ZONE!
/ BELOW ZONE!
Remember, these alerts are based on a calculation of your maximum heart rate and the HR
zone you selected. As such, it is an estimation and is only for guidance. If you feel you are
working too hard, most likely you are. Adjust the HR zone to one that works for you.
2 You have gone above your upper HR limit
1 You have gone below your lower HR limit
UNDERSTANDING HEART RATE
HEART RATE ZONES AND EXERCISE
Heart rate is an indicator of the intensity of the exercise on your body. It is a useful tool for
determining how effective a work-out is.
This watch uses an estimation of your maximum heart rate (220 - age = MHR) to arrive at 5
HR zone settings specic to you.
HR Zone
Fat
burning
Aerobic 71% - 80%
Anaerobic
*The upper and lower heart rate limits are calculated by multiplying your maximum heart rate
(MHR) by the percentages.
It is important to pace yourself, especially if you haven’t exercised for a while. Start off
slow, aiming for the lowest range (50%-60%). As you become more comfortable, challenge
yourself by increasing in speed and duration.
To benet most from your work-out, determine your tness goal and exercise at a proper
intensity. The most common zone range is from 50% to 80% of your maximum heart rate.
This is where you achieve cardiovascular benets, burn fat and become more t.
