SMART TOUCH TECHNOLOGY
With SD1 Smart Touch Technology, obtaining your on demand heart
rate has never been easier. You can get a reading by placing your
finger tips, palms or just about any part of your hand on the stainless
steel sensor. Experiment to find your own preference.
A one-time read out of your Heart Rate (HR) in beats per minute (BPM)
will display. The small digits at the right of the display show the
percentage of your maximum heart rate (up to 99%).
» For continuous reading, keep pressing the sensor.
» For best accuracy, left and right hands should not be in contact
during the test.
» You can take your Heart Rate from any mode (except while
changing settings).
TROUBLESHOOTING POINTERS
If you don’t get your heart rate (HR) within 10 seconds, moisten your
finger(s) and watch caseback and try again. It helps to wear your SD1
for a little while to allow a layer of moisture to build up between the
back of the watch and your arm/wrist.
Exercising vigorously with a lot of arm movement or body motion
can cause muscle noise” that may prevent proper detection of a HR
signal. You should tighten the watch to your wrist and apply a
stronger force to the top metal plate in order to reduce the movement
of the watch during the exercise. Also relax your watch arm when
taking the reading.
If your HR varies, note that fluctuations are normal in a healthy heart;
in fact, the healthier your heart is, the more variation you could see.
However, if SD1’s calculations start to vary significantly from what
you have come to expect, replace SD1’s battery.
To optimize readings, occasionally clean the back of your SD1 case
and the Sensor Ring with a clean, soft cloth.
