Activating the Watch from Power Down Mode

PLEASE NOTE: Your watch was originally shipped in Power Down Mode to conserve battery life. To deactivate Power Down mode: PRESS & HOLD ANY KEY for 5 seconds (see page 21 for more information on Power Down mode).

Warnings & Cautions

WARNING: Before starting any exercise program or performing any vigorous physical activity, we strongly suggest you visit your doctor for a complete physical and to discuss your plans.

CAUTION: Your watch is designed to be water resistant to a static pressure of 5 ATM and can be worn while showering and light swimming. However, we recommend that extensive use of the unit in the water be avoided whenever possible. Care should be taken not to PRESS any keys while the unit is submerged as this can force moisture past the key seals and damage the unit.

CAUTION: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme conditions for a prolonged period of time.

CAUTION: Avoid rough usage or severe impacts to your watch.

DO NOT use hand cream as it will insulate the signal between the skin and sensor contacts.

DO NOT use the fingertips where the skin is dry and thick. For those with extremely dry skin, moisten fingers and wrist with tap water or a conductive gel.

CLEAN the back cover occasionally by using a damp cloth. Then wipe dry to remove any residual grease.

CLEAN your skin and fingers with soap and water for a better signal transmission.

AVOID doing awkward motions during measurement. It may create inaccurate heart rate readings.

HEART RATE SENSORS

Acquiring Heart Rate

Finger Touch

Heart rate may be acquired from any operating mode (not in any Setting Sequence).

  1. With the watch attached to your wrist, TOUCH & HOLD the HEART RATE SENSOR (anywhere on the metal top plate) with one finger.

NOTE: If Heart Rate Sensor is accidentally touched, the watch will automatically attempt to acquire heart rate. If no heart rate is detected, watch will resume operating mode in approximately 10 seconds. This will not interfere with any timing functions in progress.

NOTE: You may exit Heart Rate mode at any time by Pressing the Mode, Start/Stop or Reset key.

  1. Continue TOUCHING & HOLDING until heart rate displays.
  2. Once Heart Rate is acquired, RELEASE THE SENSORS. Heart Rate will continue to display for a period of approximately 10 seconds.
  3. If trouble acquiring heart rate, moisten the underside of the watch case (so contact between the wrist and watch is ensured). To activate heart rate, the watch's back plate must come into direct contact with your skin, while your fingertip is touching the top case. See p.26 for more troubleshooting details.

Deactivating Touch Heart Rate

NOTE: If you wish to deactivate the touch heart rate feature, in Time mode, PRESS & HOLD the RESET/LOCK button for 3 seconds. A lock icon ? will appear on the screen indicating the feature is deactivated. Hold the button again for 3 seconds to activate the feature.

Wearing the Chest Strap

Acquiring Heart Rate: Wearing the Chest Strap Transmitter

The Chest Strap Transmitter provides constant heart rate information throughout the duration of your workout. To ensure a proper heart rate display, the chest transmitter must be properly adjusted. Snap the plastic tabs at the end of the elastic belt into the holes at the end of the transmitter and adjust the strap so that the transmitter fits tightly below the pectoral muscles, as shown in the drawing.

NOTE: Users with significant chest hair may have a problem obtaining contact between the transmitter electrodes and their skin, resulting in poor performance. It may be necessary for these individuals to shave the area of their chest beneath the transmitter.

NOTE: In dry and cold climates it may take a few minutes for a layer of perspiration to form between the chest strap and the skin. Moistening the electrodes with saliva or ECG conductive gel can speed up this process.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows the chest strap with electrodes. The strap is worn around the chest, with the electrodes positioned on the skin.

Displaying HR on the Watch

NOTE: Once the chest strap is correctly in place, you must toggle the watch display to the HEART RATE/CHRONOGRAPH mode and PRESS the START/STOP button. The timer will begin running, and the watch will begin displaying heart rate from the strap after a slight delay. See p.18 for more details.
