CARDIO CONNECT

Overview.
Thank you for purchasing the DKN Cardio Connect.
The DKN Cardio Connect provides an approximate
heart rate read-out suitable for fitness training purposes.
This device can also be used as a fitness tracker
allowing you to record, store, and view your daily activity.
Your DKN Cardio Connect should be worn on your wrist.
For all-day wear, your DKN Cardio Connect should be
worn as you’d normally wear a watch.
Wrist Placement.

As with all heartrate tracking technology,
a wrist-based sensor accuracy is affected by personal
physiology, location of wear, and type of movement.
In other words, not every person will get a perfectly
ac-curate reading with every type of exercise.
Heart rate displayed is an approximate readout, and
may not be used as guidance in any cardiovascular
related medical or paramedical program.

For best heart rate accuracy keep these tips in mind:
•Experiment with wearing the Cardio Connect.
Position higher on your wrist during exercise.
Because blood flow in your arm increases the
farther up you go, moving the Cardio Connect up
a few cm can improve the heart rate signal. Also,
many exercises such as spinning cause you to bend
your wrist frequently, which is more likely to interfere
with the heart rate signal if the Cardio Connect is
lower on your wrist.

•Do not wear your Cardio Connect too tight: a tight
band restricts blood flow, potentially affecting the
heart rate signal. The Cardio Connect should also
be slightly tighter (but not constricting) during
exercise than during all day wear.
•With high-intensity interval training or activities where
your wrist is moving vigorously and non-rhythmically,
the movement may prevent the sensor from finding
an accurate heartrate. Similarly, with exercises such
as weight lifting or rowing, your wrist muscles may
flex in such a way that the band tightens and

loosens during exercise. Try relaxing your wrist and
staying still briefly (about 10 seconds), after which
you hould see an accurate heart rate reading.
•You can check the time on your Cardio Connect
without pressing the button. Just turn your wrist
towards you and time will show for a few seconds.
•Please read this guide carefully be-fore use.
DKN takes no responsibility for any damage or
injuries caused by improper use of the tracker.
Changes or modifications not ex-pressly approved by
DKN will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

these end of life products.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE)
with the WEEE marking must not dispose of end
of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the
collection framework available to them for the return,
recycle, and recovery of WEEE and to minimize any
potential effects of EEE on the environment and
