Heart Rate Monitor Troubleshooting
If this happens: Check this:
No heart rate appears on Is the strap attached to your chest correctly?
• Your heart rate cannot be detected
the display, or displayed
values are excessive or correctly if the strap is not attached to your
vary widely. chest correctly.
• See "Monitoring Your Heart Rate During
Exercise".
Are the sensor bar's sensor pads (diamond
pattern areas) wet?
• Your heart rate cannot be detected if your
skin is dry.
• Warm up until you start sweating or
moisten the sensor pads with water.
Are the sensor bar's sensor pads dirty?
• Dirty sensor pads interfere with stable
heart rate pickup.
• Clean the sensor pads as required. To clean
the sensor pads, wipe them with a soft, dry
cloth, or with a cloth that has been moistened
in weak solution of water and a mild neutral
detergent. Wring out all excess liquid from
the cloth before wiping. Never use thinner,
benzene, alcohol, or any other volatile agent
to clean the sensor pads.
Is the sensor bar's battery dead?
• If so, contact your dealer or CASIO
distributor to have the battery replaced.
Is there some source of electromagnetic
waves (high-tension power lines, TV, cell
phone, etc.) nearby?
• Electromagnetic waves can make normal
heart rate detection and communication
impossible.
• Possible sources of electromagnetic
waves are: signal equipment, overhead
railway cables, electric bus cables,
streetcars, automobiles, motorcycles,
computers, motorized fitness equipment,
medical devices, electronic security gates,
radios, railway crossings, TV transmitters,
radar sites, etc.
Do you have heart trouble?
• Normal readings are not possible if you
have a heart abnormality that causes
changes in the waveform of an
electrocardiogram, or if you are suffering
from arrhythmia.
Is the watch too far from the chest strap?
• The maximum allowable distance between
the strap and watch is about 90 cm (35.4
inches). Communication is not possible
when they are too far apart.
Do you have a hairy chest?
• Hair on the chest can interfere with heart
beat detection.
Heart rate measurement Did more than one minute pass without the
suddenly stops watch detecting any signal from the chest
automatically. strap?
• This will cause measurement to stop
automatically. Restart the measurement
operation.
Did the battery of the sensor bar or watch
go dead during measurement?
• The RECOV indicator will appear on the
watch's display when its battery is low. If
the RECOV indicator appears frequently,
have the watch's battery replaced.
• If communication is not possible and the
RECOV indicator is not displayed, it could
mean that the sensor bar battery is dead
or that the system is malfunctioning. Take
the watch in to your dealer or CASIO
distributor.
Important!
• Data in the watch's memory will be deleted
when you have the battery replaced.
Interference in the signal Is someone nearby using the same type of

• Move away from the other watch.
The watch does not Is your heart rate above 90 bpm?
• The watch will not calculate energy

bpm or higher.
The energy consumed Are your personal information settings

• The watch calculates energy consumed
using your heart rate and personal
information. Make sure your personal
information settings are correct and up to
date.
Memory
The watch maintains exercise records that contain a wealth of
information about each workout. An exercise record is created for your
last workout that you timed in the Stopwatch Mode and stored
automatically whenever you clear the stopwatch to all zeros.
Note that memory is shared by lap/split time records and exercise
records. There is also a cumulative record that keeps track of long-term
cumulative totals.
The following will give you some idea about how much memory capacity
is available.
• If you use memory to store lap/split time records only (no exercise
records), you can store up to 200 records during a single workout.
• If you use memory to store exercise records only (Start
Reset), you can store up to 42 records.
Memory Data
The following details the contents of each type of record that can be
stored in memory.
I Lap Record Data
• Lap/split times
• Average heart rate and exercise intensity per lap
I Exercise Record Data
• Date
• Exercise time
• Exercise time within target heart rate range
• Exercise time in excess of target heart rate range
• Exercise time below target heart rate range
• Best lap time
• Average heart rate and average exercise intensity
• Energy consumed during exercise
I Cumulative Data
• Cumulative exercise time: 9,999 hours, 59 minutes
• Cumulative energy consumed: 239,005 kcal (999,999 kJ)
• Average heart rate and average exercise intensity per workout
Data Save Timing
The following shows what data is stored in memory when you perform a
particular Stopwatch Mode operation.
I When you start an elapsed time operation (from all zeros)
• Date
I When you record lap/split times
• Lap time
• Split time
• Average heart rate and exercise intensity per lap
I When you reset the stopwatch to all zeros
• Exercise time
• Exercise time within target heart rate range
• Exercise time in excess of target heart rate range
• Exercise time below target heart rate range
• Best lap time
• Average heart rate and average exercise intensity
• Energy consumed during exercise
The following data items are also updated when you reset the stopwatch
to all zeros.
• Cumulative exercise time
• Cumulative energy consumed
• Average heart rate and average exercise intensity per workout
Memory Full
Storing data when memory is full automatically deletes the oldest record
currently in memory to make room for the new data.
Example 1: When the exercise record currently being created is the
only one currently in memory
Recording a new lap/split time while memory is full causes the oldest
lap/split time currently in memory to be deleted to make room for the
new one.
Example 2: When there are already exercise records in memory
All of the data of the oldest exercise record is cleared to make room
for the new data.
