WEARING YOUR M430

WHEN MEASURING HEART RATE FROM YOUR WRIST

To measure wrist-based heart rate accurately, you need to wear the M430 snugly on top of your wrist, just
behind the wrist bone. The sensor must be in firm skin contact, but not too tight to prevent blood flow. For
most accurate heart rate measurement, we advise you to wear your M430 for a few minutes prior to starting
the heart rate measurement. For more information see
After a sweaty training session, we recommend that you wash the M430 under running water with a mild
soap and water solution. Then wipe it dry with a soft towel. Let it fully dry before charging.

WHEN NOT MEASURING HEART RATE FROM YOUR WRIST

Loosen the wristband a bit for a more comfortable fit and to let your skin breathe. Wear the M430 just as you
would wear a normal watch.
