2. Touch +/ST/Sp repeatedly to navigate to "USER".
3. Touch EnTER to enter user profile setting options.
4. Set user profile according to the following order: gender, age, weight unit, weight, height
unit, height, fitness level, by touching the following buttons:

"DONE" indicates user profile setting has been completed. This is only shown when setting
the watch for the first time or after battery reset.
fiTnESS LEvEL
The fitness level is based on your own self-assessment of how fit you are (depending on the
amount of exercise you regularly perform).
fiTnESS
DESCRipTiOn
LEvEL
Beginner – You haven't exercised for a while and do not usually participate in
BEG
programmed recreation sports or exercise.
Intermediate – You are engaged in modest physical activity (such as
INT golfing, horseback riding, table tennis, calisthenics, bowling, weight lifting or
gymnastics) 2-3 times a week, totaling 1 hour per week.
Athelete – You actively and regularly participate in heavy physical exercise
ATH (such as running, jogging, swimming, cycling, or skipping rope) or engage in
vigorous aerobic exercise (such as tennis, basketball or handball).
nOTE You must enter the fitness level to calculate the calories burned.
Tip The watch generates calculations based on the inputted data to show the calorie / fat
burned and the period exercised at the chosen intensity (target HR zone range) to help you
track your progress over time. As you progress, update weight and fitness level to help the
watch give you an up-to-date reflection of your physical condition.
SETTing MODE
After setting your user profile, the "USER" screen below will be shown. You can continue with
the other settings by touching +/ST/Sp repeatedly (see step 2 below).
However, if the user profile was set for the first time or after battery reset, the watch will
automatically return to the default time display. Start with step 1.
1. Touch MODE/- repeatedly to select "SET", "TIME" will be displayed shortly after.

wEaRing THE CHEST bELT
If you only wish to use the stopwatch function (and not record any fitness data), skip
to 'Start exercising' section.
Chest belt
The chest belt counts your heartbeat and transmits this data
to the watch.
1. Wet the conductive pads on the underside of the chest belt
with a few drops of water or conductive gel to ensure solid
contact.
2. Holding the elastic strap, thread the plastic tab through the
eyelet of the chest belt unit. Turn it slightly and snap into
place.
3. Place the heart rate chest
belt slightly below your chest
and wrap the strap around
your chest. Pass the other
tab through the remaining
eyelet and snap into place.
To ensure an accurate heart
rate signal, adjust the strap until
the belt sits snugly below your
pectoral muscles.
TipS
• The position of the chest belt affects its performance.
• In dry, cold climates, it may take several minutes for the chest belt to function steadily.
This is normal and should improve with several minutes of exercise.
nOTE To maintain the best performance of your chest belt, please handle it with care
according to the following:
•
Do not wrap the chest belt in a wet towel nor with other wet materials.
•
Do not store the chest belt in a hot (about 122°F) and humid (about 90%) environment.
•
Do not place or wash the chest belt under running water, instead clean it with a wet
cloth.
•
Do not place the conductive rubber face down on a metal table or surface.
•
Properly dry the chest belt immediately after use.
TRanSMiSSiOn SignaL
The heart rate chest belt and watch have a maximum transmission range of about 25 inches.
They are equipped with the latest digital coding system to reduce signal interference from the
environment, as well as analog technology.
Search for heart rate signal:
•
Touch MODE/- to select "EXE", "HR BELT" will be displayed shortly after to indicate
system is searching for chest belt signal.
+/ST/SP
nOTE
Whenever the watch is searching for the chest belt signal (manual or automatic
search), make sure that the chest belt is no further than 4 inches from the watch.
+/ST/SP
Your watch will advise you which system it is using and the signal status by displaying the
to
following icons:
icon Description
Searching for a signal
(Touch EnTER to skip search and only use
stopwatch function)
A signal has been found and the digital system
is being used
A signal has been found and the analog system
is being used
No signal has been found
(no symbol)
Signal unsuccessful?
The signal search will take approximately
30 seconds. If after 30 seconds the "NO HR
BELT" is displayed, then your signal search
has been unsuccessful. You can either:
1) Touch EnTER and proceed to use the watch as a stopwatch (without exercise recording
function); or
2) Touch MODE/- to force another signal search.
analog or Digital?
The digital signal is less susceptible to signal interference and is suitable in crowded areas or
where there are other monitors / equipment. You should only switch to the analog transmission
signal if the situation in point 2 occurs (see 'Encountering difficulties?' below).
To switch from digital to analog or analog to digital system:
1) Press the chest belt button for more than 6 seconds.
2) Touch MODE/- to select "EXE" and force another signal search.
Encountering difficulties?
In the event that you experience a weak signal or your signal is disrupted by interference in the
environment, follow the instructions below to identify and resolve the situation.
1. The signal is weak - the watch may only show "--":
•
Shorten the distance between the heart rate chest belt and watch.
• Re-adjust the position of the heart rate chest belt.
• Check the conductive pads are moist enough to ensure solid contact.
• Check the batteries. If they are low or exhausted, the transmission range may be
shortened.
• Touch MODE/- to select "EXE" and force another signal search.
2. The gym equipment does not seem to work with your chest belt and the digital icon
displayed:
•
Most gym equipment is compatible with the analog system
chest belt button for more than 6 seconds to change from digital to analog. Then touch
MODE/- to select "EXE" and force another signal search.
3. Interference from another person's heart rate monitor - their heart rate readings appear on
your watch, or the readings may fluctuate:
•
Force another signal search by pressing the chest belt button then touch MODE/-
on the watch. Do not press and hold the chest belt button, as it will change the
transmission signal from digital to analog.
4. The signal is jammed - "NO HR BELT" appears on the display after several tries:
•
There is too much interference in the environment for your heart rate monitor to
function. Move to an area where the watch can register your heart rate reading.
waRning Signal interference in the environment can be caused by electromagnetic
disturbances. These may occur near high voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines
of electric railways, electric bus lines or trams, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some
motor driven exercise equipment, cellular phones or when you walk through electric security
gates. Under interference, the heart rate reading may become unstable and inaccurate.
STaRT ExERCiSing
If you wish to receive comprehensive calculations (such as your heart rate and the calorie / fat
burned) for an exercise session, before you start, allow the watch a few seconds to search for
chest belt first. For detailed information or if encountering difficulties, refer to "Transmission
signal" section above.
STaRT Taking MEaSuREMEnTS
if using only the stopwatch function:
1. Touch MODE/- to select "EXE", "HR BELT" will be displayed shortly after to indicate
system is searching for chest belt signal.
2. Touch EnTER to skip heart rate signal search, then +/ST/Sp to start stopwatch.
