Heart Rate Features
• This Watch includes a Chest Strap with connector, thus the Watch can provide a
continuous supply of heart rate data like current heart rate, average heart rate and
maximum heart rate to user for guiding them to achieve their fitness goal.
Precautions / Tips
• The silicon rubber section on the Chest Strap acts as the contacts. They must be
firmly contacted with the user’s skin during measurement.
• DO NOT take heart rate measurement when diving or under water.
• Clean the contacts occasionally by applying a few drops of water, and wipe it dry with
a paper towel to remove any residual grease.
• DO NOT use hand cream; it will insulate the signal between the skin and the contacts.
• Clean your skin with soap and water for better signal transmission.
• For those with extremely dry skin, apply some conductive gel or water may help.
• Adjust the Chest Strap with the buckles until it holds on your chest firmly to avoid it
loosen when doing exercise.
• Avoid doing any awkward motion during measurment, otherwise error may be
resulted.

Back View
• If your Chest Strap stops transmitting heart rate signal
to your watch (NO heart rate reading show on the
Watch), it might be due to low battery in the Chest
Strap.
• We recommend that you have the battery replaced by
an authorized service agency.
How to Replace the Battery for the Chest Strap
• Nevertheless, you can still change the battery of the
Chest Strap by following the instructions:
1. Turn the cover counterclockwise with a coin so that
the vertical slot on the cover turns from the right
mark to the left mark.
2. Turn the cover further gently to pop it out.
3. Put aside the battery cover.
4. Remove the exhausted battery.
5. Replace with a new battery with the (+) sign facing
up.
6.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the sealing rubber
o-ring is placed correctly in its slot before the
battery cover is replaced.
7. Put the battery cover back with the vertical slot on
the cover points to left mark, and then press the
cover down gently until it is on the same level with
the case surface.
8. Turn the cover clockwise with a coin so that the
vertical slot turns back to the right mark.
Workout Mode - How to Replace the Battery for Chest Strap
5.8

1) Cause: Dry Skin.
Solution: Apply conductive gel or saliva thoroughly on chest area. Even water will help if
conductive gel is not available.
2) Cause: Chest strap is not placed firmly over the chest.
Solution: Make sure the Chest Strap is placed firmly over the chest by adjusting the
buckles.
3) Cause: Muscle tremors caused by holding the Chest strap too hard on your chest.
Solution: The silicon rubber sections must make firm contacts (but NOT too hard) with
the user’s skin during measurement. This will ensure good and consistent readings even
during walking or jogging with arms swinging naturally.
4) Cause: Dead skin on chest.
Solution: Usually rubbing your skin with a towel will help.
5) Cause: A thin layer of body grease insulate the ECG signal which prevents the Chest
Strap or Watch from picking up one’s ECG.
Solution: Wipe chest and the back of the Chest Strap with a tissue or soft towel.
6) Cause: Hairy skin.
Solution: Apply conductive gel to chest area or wrist.
7) Cause: Irregular heartbeats.
Solution: N/A. It is difficult to consistently pick up a reading for those with irregular
heartbeats. Inconsistent response times are expected for those with arrhythmia.
8) Cause: Low Battery.
Solution: It might be due to low battery level in the Chest Strap / watch. Replace the
battery and try again.
9) Cause: Interference of other RF devices (Chest-Strap Measurement)
Solution: Stay away from the place where RF source potentially exist.
