HEART RATE MEASUREMENT

You can measure your heart rate anytime (except in
setting sub-modes).
1. Wear the watch on your wrist and place fingertips
(suggest to use index finger and middle finger) on both
metallic plates to enter Heart Rate Mode. A beep tone
will be heard and "HR" banner will flash to indicate the
watch is detecting heart rate reading. It will take between
6-10 seconds to detect a heart rate reading.
2. If a valid heart rate reading is detected, another
beep tone will be heard and the screen below will be
displayed. Remove your fingers.
3. To exit Heart Rate Mode, remove your fingers for 3
seconds or press MODE.
