trouBLEsHootiNg tHE WatcH The watch is a very sensitive and sophisticated instrument. If properly cared for it should last and remain accurate for many years. It has been our experience that the majority of the problems seen by consumers with products such as this are related to dead or dying batteries. While the estimated life of a fresh battery in the watch is approximately one year, this can be shortened considerably if the backlight feature of the watch is used extensively. Whenever you are experiencing issues related to the function of the unit it is recommended that you reset the watch to factory settings as a first course of action. resetting the watch to factory settings • PRESS & HOLD all four button simultaneously until all segments activate in the display. • The watch will automatically reset to factory defaults. NOTE: Resetting the watch will erase ALL stored settings and workouts. If the reset does not solve the issue, it is likely time to replace the battery especially if it has been more than a 9 months since the last time the battery was replaced.

Ensure that the transmitter is 100% in contact with the skin and not on top of any clothing. cross-talk Exercising in close proximity to other people using heart rate monitors may cause your watch to pick up signals from chest straps other than your own. This is known as Cross-talk. To avoid problems associated with Cross-talk it is recommended that you separate yourself from others wearing heart rate monitors by a minimum of 3 feet or 1 meter in all directions. transmission range The heart rate monitor system has an effective range of 28 - 30 inches ( .75 meters ). If the monitor is separated from the transmitter strap by a greater distance than this, you may not be able to receive a heart rate signal.
