Solus Leisure 860 User manual

SM-715.1

1.0 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this watch. With this watch, you can get
electrocardiogram heart rate without using a chest strap.
To get the most of your purchase, you are suggested to read this
manual carefully and keep it in hand for later reference.
IMPORTANT Notes
1) Do not use this watch for commercial or professional purposes.
2) Make sure you have read this manual thoroughly and fully
understood the functions and limitations of this watch before using
it.
3) This watch is a supplementary device for measuring heart rate. It is
not a substitute for medical devices. You should occasionally
compare the heart rate reading acquired by this watch with the
reading from your doctor.
4) Do not use heart rate measurement under water.

2.0 Care and Maintenance
In order to utilize the features of your watch, it is advisable to use the
watch following the notes below:
1) This watch contains electronic components. Never attempt to
open the case or remove the back cover.
2) Avoid exposing your watch under extreme conditions for an
unreasonable period of time.
3) Keep the watch away from strong electric field and static
electricity.
4) Avoid rough use or severe impacts on your watch.
5) Clean your watch occasionally with a soft moistened cloth only.
Avoid using chemicals, especially soap as the waterproof gasket will
corrode.
6) For PU straps, please wash them with mild soapy water only. Do
not apply perfume or moisturizer around your wrist as the
chemicals may erode them.
7) There may be discoloration for light colors and transparent straps
after normal wear for some time. An original replacement on
straps is possible to be re-ordered through an authorized service
center.
8) Store the watch in a dry place when it is not in use.
9) In case there is any severe or persistent skin reaction, such as
severe redness, itching, rash or hives, you should stop wearing this
watch, and consult your doctor.

3.0 Precautions for Water Resistance & Battery
Water Resistance
Water damage may occur if the push buttons are pressed under water.
Should water or condensation appear in the watch, please check the
watch immediately, as corrosion of electronic parts can occur inside
the case.
Battery Life
The battery in your SOLUS watch is estimated to last for 18 months,
depending on frequency and use of certain features.
Battery Replacement
If the display dims or the EL backlight is dim, you are recommended to
go to the authorized SOLUS service center for correct battery
replacement in order to retain a valid warranty and avoid any damage

10.2 Potential Causes for No Heart Rate Reading or
Long Response Time
1) Cause: Dry skin.
Solution: Apply conductive gel or saliva thoroughly to fingers and the wrist area.
(Even water will help if conductive gel is not available).
2) Cause: Fingers are not placed firmly over the sensors.
Solution: Make sure fingers (not the tips) lay flat and firmly over the sensors and
watch is placed securely on the wrist. Do not use the very tips of your fingers (e.g.
visualize tip toeing with your fingertips). Fingertips do not allow for enough
contact, therefore, electrocardiogram will not be picked up.
3) Cause: Muscle tremors, caused by:
A) Pressing down too hard on the sensors with fingertips. B) Person is in motion
and hold the watch in an awkward manner.
Solution: It is best to place your index finger on the “front” contact [HR1]. This
will ensure good and consistent readings even while walking or jogging with arms
swung naturally.
4) Cause: Dead skin on the wrist.
Solution: Usually rubbing your skin with a towel will help.
5) Cause: A thin layer of body grease can insulate the electrocardiogram signal from
the back sensor on the watch.
Solution: Wipe the wrist and the back of watch [HR2] with a tissue or a soft
towel.
6) Cause: Hairy arms.
Solution: Apply conductive gel to the wrist area.
7) Cause: Irregular heart beats.
Solution: N/A
It is difficult to consistently pick up a reading for those with irregular heart beats.
Inconsistent response times are expected for those with arrhythmia.

11.0 Heart Rate Measuring - Precautions & Tips
In exercise or sports, your heart naturally speeds up in pumping
blood to the body in accordance with your increased energy level.
This watch can calculate that increase expressed as the number of
heart beats per minute (bpm) to determine a safe target heart rate
for each individual.
Precautions and tips
1. A heart rate sensor is located on the back of the watch. The back
sensor must firmly contact with your skin during finger-touch heart
rate measurement.
2. DO NOT take heart rate measurement when diving or under
water.
3. DO NOT use hand cream; it will insulate the signal between the
skin and the sensors.
4. Clean fingers with soap and water for better signal transmission.
5. DO NOT use heart rate function when the skin on the fingertips is
dry and thick.
6. For those with extremely dry skin, moisten the skin with tap water
or apply a conductive gel may help.
7. Hold the watch firmly when taking finger touch heart rate
measurement in motion.
8. During the measurement, avoid any awkward motion. Awkward
motion creates undesired muscle noise; hence an incorrect heart
rate reading may be resulted.

The Heart Rate Mode shows the current heart rate in
terms of:
Heart Rate (e.g 78) : The number of heart beats per minute
(bpm).
Percentage of Estimated Maximum Heart Rate (e.g 40%):
The percentage of the acquired heart rate with respect to
one’s estimated maximum heart rate.
Percentage of Estimated Maximum Heart Rate
It is a useful figure for analysing the cardio-fitness of a
person.
It can be used to define the heart rate zone of a
cardio-fitness training.
Consult your doctor for more information on the
implications of percentage of estimated maximum heart
rate.

Percentage of
estimated
maximum heart rate
(%EMHR)
Heart beats
per minute
(bpm)
Heart Rate Mode

Estimated Maximum Heart Rate (EMHR):
EMHR = 220 - user age.
Example: What is Tom’s EMHR at his age of 27?
EMHR = 220 - 27 = 193.
NOTE: This watch can calculate the EMHR for users
at the age up to 99.
Percentage of Estimated Maximum Heart
Rate (%EMHR):
%EMHR = Acquired heart rate/EMHR X 100%
Example: What is Tom’s %EMHR if he has
acquired a heart rate of 78?
%EMHR = 78/193 X 100% = 40%
NOTE: The user MUST input his/her age into the watch
ahead, otherwise this figure is not correct. Please refer to
chapter 7.2 for the details on age setting.

11.2 Heart Rate Measuring - Heart Rate Zone
What is Heart Rate Zone?
The training heart rate zone is an optimum range that your heart rate
values fall into during exercise. It depends upon your age, gender,
fitness level, etc. You need to adjust the intensity of exercise to
maintain your pulse (exercise pace) within a selected heart rate zone.
The above chart shows the range of percentage of estimated maximum
heart rate for different training/exercise objectives namely ‘Aerobic’,
‘Fat burnt’ and ‘Healthy’.
WARNING: Consult a doctor or trainer prior to set the heart rate
alert zone for a serious cardio-fitness training.

How to Select your Suitable Heart Rate Zone?
In general, you may get the cardio-fitness training advices from those

After selecting your desirable Heart Rate Zone, you may set your
Zone boundary values for a Heart Rate Zone Alert. Please refer to the
