FITNESS
LEVEL DESCRIPTION
BEG Beginner – You do not usually participate in
programmed recreation sports or exercise.
INT
Intermediate – You are engaged in modest

as running, jogging, swimming, cycling, or
skipping rope) or engage in vigorous aerobic
exercise (such as tennis, basketball or
handball).
NOTE You must enter the tness level to calculate the
calories burnt.
TIP The watch generates calculations based on the inputted
data to show the calories burnt to help you track your progress
over time. As you progress, update weight and tness level
to help the watch give you an up-to-date reection of your
physical condition.
SETTING MODE
After setting your user prole, the “USER” screen below
will be shown. You can continue with the other settings by
touching +/ST/SP repeatedly (see step 2 below).

watch is detecting a heart
rate reading. A number with
bpm indicates measurement
has been successful and
recorded.
3. Touch +/ST/SP to start stopwatch.
IMPORTANT To record calories burnt, heart rate must
be recorded.
TIP If using only stopwatch function, skip step 2 above.
NOTE The more frequent you measure your heart rate
during the exercise, the more accurate calculations will be.
To record HR at any time (except in setting mode): place
nger on metal bezel for a few seconds.
NOTE When taking a reading, ensure area between bezel
and metal casing is dry as perspiration / liquid may affect
circuitry and therefore the accuracy of the reading.
If you cannot get your heart rate reading within 10 seconds
or if any unusual condition occurs during heart rate reading:
• moisten your ngertip
• make sure your ngertip is warm and steady
• do not press too hard on the metallic bezel
• make sure the metallic bezel and the back of your watch
are clean

ALERTS
This watch
enables you
to select a
target HR zone
according to
your tness
goals. By setting the target HR zone and personal data, the
watch can monitor how well you do. The watch will send out
visual and audible alerts if you are pushing yourself too hard
or need to put more effort in.
For details of HR zones, refer to “Understanding heart rate”
section in this manual.

If alert has been enabled and heart rate zone has been set:
ICON BEEP(S) DESCRIPTION
/ ABOVE
ZONE! 2You have gone above your
upper HR limit
/ BELOW
ZONE! 1You have gone below your
lower HR limit
Remember, these alerts are based on a calculation of your
maximum heart rate and the HR zone you selected. As
such, it is an estimation and is only for guidance. If you feel
you are working too hard, most likely you are. Adjust the HR
zone to one that works for you.
UNDERSTANDING HEART RATE
HEART RATE ZONES AND EXERCISE
Heart rate is an indicator of the intensity of the exercise on
your body. It is a useful tool for determining how effective
a work-out is.
This watch uses an estimation of your maximum heart rate
(220 - age = MHR) to arrive at 5 HR zone settings specic
to you.

*The upper and lower heart rate limits are calculated
by multiplying your maximum heart rate (MHR) by the
percentages.
It is important to pace yourself, especially if you haven’t
exercised for a while. Start off slow, aiming for the lowest
range (50%-60%). As you become more comfortable,
challenge yourself by increasing in speed and duration.
To benet most from your work-out, determine your tness
goal and exercise at a proper intensity. The most common
zone range is from 50% to 80% of your maximum heart rate.
This is where you achieve cardiovascular benets, burn fat
and become more t.
Remember, if you rush in too quickly and push your body too
hard before it’s ready, it can be counterproductive. You can
hurt your muscles / tendons and may even result in injury
and be a real step back from your goal.
IMPORTANT Always warm up before exercise and select
the HR zone setting that best suits your physique. Exercise
regularly, 20 to 30 minutes per session, three to four times a
week for a healthier cardiovascular system.
WARNING Determining a suitable exercise intensity is
a critical step in the process towards an efcient and safe
training program. Please consult your doctor or health
professional to help you determine exercise frequency and
duration appropriate for your age, condition and specic
goals.
