EASY TOUCH HEART RATE:

E. In order to check your heart rate you must be wearing the watch on your wrist with the case back in good
contact with your skin.

measure your heart rate. The heart rate icon will flash on the display to indicate that heart rate is being
measured.
GUIDELINES FOR MEASURING HEART RATE:
• Do not measure heart rate under water.
• Always press the sensor, button E, directly with the finger. The finger should press button
E with the watch worn tightly around the wrist.
• If your fingers are very cold this might affect the time it takes to take your heart rate
measurement.
• If you have very dry skin, moisten the fingertip and the skin on the wrist with some water.
• Use of hand creams and lotions can affect the heart rate measurement.
• Clean the back of the watch from time to time with a few drops of water and wipe it dry with
a cloth to remove any grease or oils.
• If the message "do not move" is displayed, try to slow down your body movement in order
to take a more accurate heart rate measurement.
• The heart rate measurement may not work correctly if you have an irregular heart beat.
Heart rate will be displayed with unit BPM (Beats Per Minute) and at the same time % of Max.
