If an option in a menu switches on and off, press RIGHT to change the setting.
Wearing your watch
The way you wear your watch is important because it can affect the performance of the Heart Rate
Sensor. For more information on how this sensor works, see The heart rate sensor.
7
Wear the watch in the normal way, with the watch face on top of your wrist and the bottom of
the watch touching your skin, away from the wrist bone.
Do the strap up so that it is tight to your wrist without being uncomfortable.
You get the most accurate results from the heart rate sensor when you are warmed up.
Important: To improve accuracy, KEEP STILL until your heart rate is detected.
Cleaning your watch
It is recommended that you clean your watch once a week if you use it frequently.
Wipe the watch with a damp cloth as needed. Use mild soap to remove oil or dirt.
Do not expose your watch to strong chemicals such as gasoline, cleaning solvents, acetone,
alcohol, or insect repellents. Chemicals can damage the watch’s seal, case, and finish.
After swimming, rinse your watch with tap water and dry it with a soft cloth.
Clean the heart rate sensor area and connection pads with mild soap and water as needed.
Do not scratch the heart rate sensor area. Protect it from damage.
The heart rate sensor
If your watch has a built-in heart rate sensor it can help you train more efficiently.
You can choose to use the built-in heart rate sensor or an external sensor if the watch is mounted
on your bike handlebars, or not to use a sensor at all.
Note: If your watch doesn’t have an integrated heart rate monitor, you can also buy a separate
chest strap to record the same information.
How the sensor works
Your heartbeat is measured by using light to measure changes in your blood flow. This is done on
the top of your wrist by shining light through the skin onto the capillary veins just below the skin
and detecting the changing light reflections.
The performance of the heart rate sensor is not affected by skin type, body fat percentage or body
hair. It IS however affected by how you wear the watch on your wrist and by whether you have
warmed up or not.
8
Using the heart rate sensor
To get the best performance from the heart rate sensor, see Wearing your watch. Continuous heart
rate tracking is switched OFF by default.
Note: The sensor cannot measure your heart rate while swimming.
Removing your watch from the strap

the watch.
To use the bike mount, do the following:

mount and the bars.
4. Wrap the O-ring around the handle bars and lift it over the back hooks.

position for the watch is on the left wrist.
As shown below, if there is a direct line of sight between the watch and the headset controls,
reception is improved.

Activities
In the activities menu, you can start one of the activities available on your watch:
When you select RUN, CYCLE or FREESTYLE, your watch uses its internal GPS receiver to measure
your speed, and to record the route you have taken.
If your watch has a heart rate sensor and the heart rate sensor is set to ON, your heart rate is shown
during your activity. This includes running, cycling, treadmill and freestyle.
When you select SWIM or TREADMILL, your watch uses its internal motion sensor to measure your
strides on the treadmill, and strokes and turns in the swimming pool. Your watch uses this
information to estimate your speed and the distance you have covered.
When you select INDOOR for indoor cycling, your watch uses the connected Cadence and Speed
Sensor to show your speed, heart rate information if available and calories burnt vs time.
Select GYM to show heart rate information and calories burnt over time. You need an external or
internal heart rate sensor for this activity.
Select FREESTYLE when you want to do an activity other than running, cycling or swimming. This
means that you can keep clean histories and totals for running, cycling and swimming.
When you select STOPWATCH, you can use your watch to show elapsed time, mark laps and see
times for your current and previous laps.
