TIPS
•
•
The position of the chest belt affects its performance.
Avoid areas with dense chest hair.
9
•
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.
TRANSMISSION SIGNAL
The heart rate chest belt and watch have a maximum
transmission range of about 62.5 centimeters (25 inches).
They are equipped with the latest digital coding system to
reduce signal interference from the environment, as well
as analog technology. For more accurate readings use the
digital transmission signal. You should only switch to the
analog transmission signal if the situation in point 2 occurs
(see below).
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 50°C) and
humid (about 90%) environment.
Do not place or wash the chest belt under running
water, instead clean it with a wet cloth.
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 10 cm (4 inches) from the watch.
Do not place the conductive rubber face down on a
metal table or surface.
Your watch will advise you which system it is using and the
signal status by displaying the following icons:
Properly dry the chest belt immediately after use.

10
NOTE To switch from digital to
analog or analog to digital system,
press the chest belt button for
more than 4 seconds and then
force a signal search.
3. Interference from another person’s heart rate monitor
- their heart rate readings appear on your watch, or the
heart rate monitor shows “0”:
•
Press the chest belt button to get the watch to
receive your chest belt signal. 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 - the heart rate reading on your
watch is flashing:
IMPORTANT If “HR ---“ is displayed because no signal
has been found, press and hold MODE/- to force a signal
search.
•
There is too much interference in the environment
for your heart rate monitor to function. Move to an
area where the heart rate reading stops flashing.
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.
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.
1. The signal is weak - the watch heart rate monitor will
only show “0”:
•
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.
NOTE If the watch is kept idle without receiving a heart rate
signal for half a minute, the heart rate mode will quit and
return to clock mode.
•
•
Check the batteries. If they are low or exhausted,
the transmission range may be shortened.
Press and hold MODE/- to force a signal search.

ABOUT THE FITNESS / BODY MASS INDEX
FITNESS INDEX
Your watch will generate a fitness index based on your
aerobic fitness. This index is dependent and limited by the
body’s ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles in
17
training. It is often measured by maximum oxygen uptake
(VO2 Max), which is defined as the highest amount
of oxygen that can be utilized when exercising at an
increasingly demanding level. The lungs, heart, blood,
circulatory system, and working muscles are all factors in
determined VO2 Max. The unit of VO2 Max is ml/kg min.
BODY MASS INDEX
Your body mass index is a measurement of the relative
percentages of fat and muscle mass in the human body.
