INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Tech4O
Accelerator Pulse Watch. Your watch
uses an advanced accelerometer sensor
technology to accurately measure speed,
distance, heart rate and calories
Although your Accelerator watch has a
pre-programmed profile, it is extremely
important to enter your own profile in
the MAIN SETTINGS MENU – 8 of 11
Personal Profile.
Accurate measurement and input of your
weight, age, gender and walking/running stride lengths is crucial to achieving
accurate results. For help with measuring
your average strides, visit www.tech4o.
com and use the stride length calculator
on the Accelerator product pages
Your new Accelerator watch uses a menu
system navigation to access, display and
adjust its various modes. Understanding
how this system works is important to
enjoying your new watch. Please take the
time to read and follow this manual

To Wear Heart Rate Chest Strap: see fig.2
The Accelerator Pulse has two primary menus:
Exercise Mode and Home Time Mode each
have their own menu system. See fig.3
Note: For your
convenience, these
two menus share 5
features that can be
accessed through
either menu
Chest Strap Information:
The chest strap will allow your watch to capture,
display and save heart rate data. This strap must be
worn with good contact on your bare skin. Moisture
between the strap and your skin aids in conductivity
and allows the heart rate feature to work properly.

To Use the Exercise Mode: See fig.9
Important: Although Exercise Mode will
automatically record information once
it has been accessed, the sensors still
need time to initialize. The watch will
beep when the sensors are ready. It is
extremely important that you wait for
the beep. If you begin your exercise
before initialization, the results will be
grossly inaccurate.
Although this watch has a pre-programmed
profile, it is extremely important to enter
your personal profile in the MAIN
SETTINGS
MENU – Personal Profile: 8 of 11
Correct age, weight and gender are important
to establish heart rate parameters. Correct
measure of your weight and walking/
running stride lengths is crucial to achieving
accurate speed and distance info. For help
with measuring your average stride lengths,
visit www.tech4o.com and use the stride
length calculator on the Accelerator product
page. See the following on how to access
and navigate the five Exercise Mode displays

Taking 5 minutes to determine your personal
profile measurements is key to enjoying your
Accelerator watch. Most important is determining
your average stride lengths. The greater the test
distance, the more accurate your data will be. A
distance of 100m or 300ft is sufficient for proper
calibration. This distance is easy to measure at
a local running track, as it is the length of one
straightaway. Use the online stride calculator at

TROUBLESHOOTING:
The distance measurements are off
This situation could arise because of the following
conditions:
• Have you properly set up your personal
profile?
Although the Accelerator comes with a pre-
programmed profile, a you will achieve much
greater accuracy by taking the 5 minutes to set a
personal profile
• Have you properly adjusted the pedometer
settings?
You may need to adjust the sensitivity or sleep
timer to better match your personal stride
characteristics and schedule
• Do you exhibit drastic variations in your
running/walking pace, or does your exercise
pace differ from the pace you used to
determine your stride length?
Accelerators work best when you maintain a
relatively steady running or walking pace.
Although your watch can readily differentiate
between running and walking, it is important
that when you determine your stride
lengths that you mimic the actual stride
and vigor you exhibit when exercising

The Exercise Mode keeps turning off.
Exercise Mode will automatically shut off
to conserve battery power. You can alter
the frequency of the auto shut off by
adjusting the sleep timer (1-240min).
Follow the instructions in Pedometer

The Heart Rate doesn't read or is too
slow
• Make sure you allow Exercise Mode
to initialize before beginning exercise.
The watch will beep when it's ready.
Beginning exercise too quickly after
Page 33

entering Exercise Mode will probably
cause inaccurate heart rate measurement.
• Make sure that there is good, firm
contact between you and the sensors.
Some reasons for poor contact are: Dry
skin or excessive hair on your chest. We
recommend that you wet your skin or use
a conductive gel, but avoid lotions and
creams as they often insulate and inhibit
the sensor
• The watch cannot provide reliable
readings for those with arrhythmia -
Irregular heart beat.
• Low battery
• Interference from RF devices
