MAXIMUM / LOWER / UPPER HEART RATE
Before you begin any exercise program and to achieve
maximum health benets from your workout, it is important
to know your:
• Maximum heart rate (MHR)
• Lower heart rate limit
• Upper heart rate limit
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
or ash 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 benets of this product, set up your user
data before you exercise. This will automatically generate a
tness index, and enable the watch to calculate the level of
calories burned when exercising. This information helps you
track your progress over time.

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 golng,
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 tness index.
FITNESS INDEX
The watch will generate a tness index based on your aerobic
tness. 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 dened as the highest amount of oxygen that can
be utilized when exercising at an increasingly demanding
level. 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.

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.
2. Strap the heart rate
chest belt across your
chest. To ensure an
accurate heart rate
signal, adjust the strap
until the belt sits snugly below your pectoral muscles.
TIPS
• The position of the chest belt affects its performance.
Move the chest belt along the strap so that it falls 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 To maintain the best performance of your chest belt,
please handle it with care according to the following:
• Do not wrap the chest belt in a wet towel nor with other
wet materials.
• Do not store the chest belt in a hot (about 50°C) and
humid (about 90%) environment.
• Do not place or wash the chest belt under running water,
instead clean it with a wet cloth.
• Do not place the conductive rubber face down on a
metal table or surface.
• Properly dry the chest belt immediately after use.
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 heart rate chest belt and watch have a maximum
transmission range of about 62.5 centimetres (25 inches).
They are equipped with the latest digital coding system to
reduce signal interference from the environment, as well
as analog technology. This heart rate monitor uses analog
coded cordless transmission.
NOTE Whenever the watch is searching for the chest
belt signal (manual or automatic search), make sure that
the chest belt is no further than 10 cm (4 inches) from the
watch.
Your watch will advise you which system it is using and the
signal status by displaying the following icons:
ICON DESCRIPTION
Outside heart is
ashing Searching for a signal
Inside heart is
ashing
A signal has been found
and the digital system is
being used

EN
9
Heart is ashing
A signal has been found
and the analog system is
being used
/ No signal has been found
NOTE To switch from digital to analog or analog to digital
system, press the chest belt button for more than 4 seconds
and then force a signal search.
The signal search will take approximately 10 seconds. If
after 10 seconds the heart icon is not ashing, then your
signal search has been unsuccessful and you need to force
another signal search.
IMPORTANT If the heart icon does not appear on the
display or is not ashing because no signal has been found,
press HR then press and hold MODE to force a signal
search.
In the event that you experience a weak signal or your signal
is disrupted by interference in the environment, follow the
instructions below to identify and resolve the situation.
1. The signal is weak or heart rate is unreasonably high -
the watch heart rate monitor will only show “0” or a false
reading:
• Shorten the distance between the heart rate chest
belt and watch.
• Re-adjust the position of the heart rate chest
belt.
• Check the conductive pads are moist enough to
ensure solid contact.
• Check the batteries. If they are low or exhausted, the
transmission range may be shortened.
• Chest belt is in digital system. Press and hold the
chest belt button for more than 4 seconds to change
from digital to analog. Press HR then press and hold
MODE to force a signal search.
2. The gym equipment does not seem to work with your
chest belt and the digital icon is displayed:
• Most gym
equipment is
compatible with
the analog system.
Press and hold
the chest belt
button for more
than 4 seconds to
change from digital
to analog. Press HR then press and hold MODE to
force a signal search.
3. Interference from another person’s heart rate monitor -
their heart rate readings appear on your watch, or the
heart rate monitor shows “0”:
• Press the chest belt button to get the watch to
receive your chest belt signal. Do not press and
hold the chest belt button, as it will change the
transmission signal from analog to digital.
4. The signal is jammed - the heart rate reading on your
watch is ashing:
• There is too much interference in the environment for
your heart rate monitor to function. Move to an area
where the heart rate reading stops ashing.
WARNING Signal interference in the environment can be
caused by electromagnetic disturbances. These may occur
near high voltage power lines, trafc lights, overhead lines

TRAINING INFORMATION
HOW THE HEART RATE MONITOR HELPS YOU
A heart rate monitor is the most important tool in
cardiovascular health and an ideal training partner. It enables
you to see and monitor results. This helps you assess your

EN
12
past performance, maximize your work out and adapt your
future exercise program to achieve your desired goals in a
safer and more effective way.
When you exercise, the chest belt picks up your heartbeat
and sends it to the watch. Now you can view your heart rate
and start monitoring your performance based on your heart
rate readings. As you get tter, your heart will need to do
less work and the speed of your heart rate will decrease.
The reason for this is as follows:
• Your heart pumps blood to your lungs to obtain oxygen.
Then, the oxygen rich blood will travel to your muscles.
The oxygen is used as fuel and the blood leaves the
muscles and returns to the lungs to begin the process
again.
As you get t, your heart is able to pump more blood with
every beat.As a result, your heart doesn’t have to beat
as often to get the necessary oxygen to your muscles.
TRAINING TIPS
To gain the maximum benet from your training program,
and to ensure that you exercise safely, please observe the
following guidelines:
• Start with a well-dened training goal, such as to lose
weight, keep t, improve health or compete in a sporting
event.
• Select a training activity you enjoy, and vary your training
activities to exercise different muscle groups.
• Start slowly, and then gradually step up your work out
as you become tter. Exercise regularly. To maintain a
healthy cardiovascular system, 20-30 minutes three
times a week is recommended.
• Always allow at least ve minutes before and after
exercising for warm-up and cool-down.
• Measure your pulse after training. Then repeat the
procedure again after three minutes. If it does not
return to its normal resting rate, you may have trained
too hard.
• Always check with your doctor before starting a vigorous
training program.
USE IN THE WATER
The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters. The chest
belt is splash proof, but should not be worn for underwater
activities, as the heart rate transmission cannot occur under
water. Refer to the table for proper use guidelines.
