GETTING STARTED
IMPORTANT To effectively use the watch when exercising
i.e. to calculate your calories burned and fitness index, you
MUST set the heart rate limits and user data as shown in the
relevant sections.
TURNING ON THE WATCH (1ST TIME USE ONLY)
Press any key for 2 seconds to activate the LCD screen.
WEARING THE CHEST BELT
Chest belt
The chest belt counts your heartbeat and transmits this data
to the watch.
1. Wet the conductive pads on
the underside of the chest
belt with a few drops of water
or conductive gel to ensure
solid contact.
SE102-SE102L_EN_R3.indd 6 5/30/06 4:09:22 PM

EN EN

EN EN
2. Strap the chest belt across your chest making sure the
belt sits snugly below your pectoral muscles.
TIPS
• For accurate heart rate readings, make sure the chest
belt is placed above your heart.
• Avoid areas with dense chest hair.
• 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.
NOTE If the watch is kept idle without receiving a heart
rate signal for 5 minutes, the heart rate mode will quit and
return to clock mode.
TRANSMISSION SIGNAL
The chest belt and watch have a maximum transmission
range of about 62.5 cm (25 inches).
In the event that you experience a weak signal or your signal
is disrupted by interference in the environment:
• Shorten the distance between the chest belt and watch.
• Re-adjust the position of the chest belt.
• Check the conductive pads are moist enough to ensure
solid contact.

• Check the batteries. If they are low the range may be
less.
NOTE Signal interference in the environment can be due
to 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.
SWITCH OPERATION MODES
Press MODE to switch between the 4 operation modes.
Each main mode displays a banner screen telling you which
mode you are entering. After 1 second the banner screen is
automatically replaced by the main mode screen.

TARGET ACTIVITY
MAXIMUM / LOWER / UPPER HEART RATE
Before you begin any exercise program and to achieve
maximum health benefits from your workout, it is important
to know your:
• Maximum heart rate (MHR)
• Lower heart rate limit
• Upper heart rate limit
TARGET
ACTIVITY
WALK
JOG
RUN

DESCRIPTION
Health Maintenance: Low
intensity training level. Good for
those who want to strengthen
their cardiovascular systems
Aerobic Exercise: Increases
strength and endurance. Works
within body’s oxygen intake
capability, burns more calories,
can be maintained for a long
period of time
Anaerobic: Generates speed
and power. Works at or above
body’s oxygen intake capability,
builds muscle, and cannot be
maintained for a long period
of time

To manually calculate your own heart rate limits:
MHR MHR = 220-age
LOWER LIMIT MHR x lower target activity %.
E.g. Target activity is WALK:
Lower limit = MHR x 65%
UPPER LIMIT MHR x upper target activity %.
E.g. Target activity is WALK:
Upper limit = MHR x 78%
HEART RATE ALERT
You can set the heart rate alert in the heart rate mode to the
following settings:
ICON DESCRIPTION
* Heart rate sound and vibration alert
are OFF
Heart rate sound alert is ON
• 1 beep = you have gone below your
lower zone limit
• 2 beeps = you have gone above your
upper zone limit
* Heart rate vibration alert is ON
* Heart rate sound and vibration alert
are ON
or flash when you have surpassed your heart rate limit.
NOTE If the watch is kept idle without receiving a heart
rate signal for 5 minutes, the heart rate mode will quit and
return to clock mode.

USER DATA
To access the full benefits of this product, set up your user
data before you exercise. This will automatically generate a
fitness index, and enable the watch to calculate the level of
calories burned when exercising. This information helps you
track your progress over time.
To set the user data:
1. Press MODE to navigate to
the user data mode.
2. Press and hold SET until the
first setting flashes.
3. Press + to change the setting.
Hold to speed through the
options.
4. Press SET to confirm and move onto the next setting.
5. The setting sequence is: Activity level (ATH / HOB /
LIT), gender (M / F), year of birth, month of birth, day of
birth, height unit (feet or meters), height, weight unit (lbs
or kg) and weight. Once data has been completed the
fitness index will display as FAIR, NORMAL or GOOD.
NOTE You must enter your user data to enable the calorie
count and fat burn features.
To view your fitness index:
Press MODE until you reach the user data display.

ACTIVITY LEVEL
The activity level is based on your own self-assessment of
the amount of exercise you regularly perform.
ACTIVITY LEVEL DESCRIPTION
LITTLE Low - You do not usually participate
in programmed recreation sports or
exercise.
HOBBY Medium - You are engaged in modest
physical activity (such as golfing,
horseback riding, table tennis,
calisthenics, bowling, weight lifting or
gymnastics) 2-3 times a week, totaling
1 hour per week.
ATHLETE High - You actively and regularly
participate in heavy physical exercise
(such 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 activity level to calculate the
calories burned and fitness index.
FITNESS INDEX
The 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 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.
SE102-SE102L_EN_R3.indd 16 5/30/06 4:09:39 PM

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.

index means:

PERCENTAGE HEART RATE READING
The percentage heart rate reading is calculated from your
current heart rate and MHR:
The higher the percentage, the harder the heart is working.
For example, when you reach 80-90% you should consider
slowing down to a more comfortable exercise level.

icon is shown and will return to normal once the batteries
are replaced.
BATTERIES
The product uses 2 x CR2032 batteries, one for the watch
and another for the chest belt. Both are already installed.
The battery warnings are:
LOW BATTERY DESCRIPTION
ICON
Continuous flashing: The watch
battery is low. Intermittent flashing:
The watch battery is too low to run the
backlight
VIB * The battery is too low to run the
vibration alert
* Both the watch and vibration battery
is low
* The batteries typically last one year. The vibration feature
consumes battery life at a faster rate than the sound alarm.
We highly recommend that you contact the retailer or our
customer service department if you need to replace them.
To replace the watch battery:
1. Undo the screws and remove the back plate.
2. Using a thin blunt instrument, hook the release catch
and lift the clip.
3. Replace the old battery and then the battery clip.
4. Replace the back plate and screws.
