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 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.
16.0 Potential Causes for NO Heart Rate
Reading or Long Response Time
16.0 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 the 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.

This watch has a Power Saving Function which can turn off the LCD
display so that the battery can last longer.
While in the Power Saving Mode, the watch function is still working

Press any key during Power Saving Mode will exit the mode and the
LCD display will be resumed.
Low Battery Indication
When battery is weak, low battery indicator ' 'will be shown.
However, if the appearance of battery-low indicator is caused by
using the watch under very cold condition, the indicator will be
disappeared when normal temperature returns.
It is recommended to complete the battery replacement by a
certified service agency, because this watch contains precise
electronic sensors and components.
