Duo 1060 Speed and Distance Heart Rate Monitor
WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
WARNING: Before starting any exercise program or performing any vigorous physical activity, we strongly
suggest you visit your doctor for a complete physical and to discuss your plans.
CAUTION: Your watch is designed to be water resistant and can be worn while showering and light
swimming. However, we recommend that extensive use of the unit in the water be avoided whenever
possible. Care should be taken not to press any keys while the unit is submerged as this can force moisture
past the key seals and damage the unit.
CAUTION: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme conditions for a prolonged period of time.
CAUTION: Avoid rough usage or severe impacts to your watch.
DO NOT use hand cream as it will insulate the signal between the skin and sensor contacts.
DO NOT use the fingertips where the skin is dry and thick. For those with extremely dry skin, moisten
fingers and wrist with tap water or a conductive gel.
CLEAN the Back Cover occasionally by using a damp cloth. Then wipe dry to remove any residual grease.
CLEAN your skin and fingers with soap and water for a better signal transmission.
AVOID doing awkward motions during measurement. It may create inaccurate heart rate readings.

ACQUIRING HEART RATE
ACQUIRING HEART RATE: FINGER TOUCH
Heart rate may be acquired from any operating
mode (not in any Setting Sequence).
1. With the watch attached to your wrist, TOUCH
& HOLD the HEART RATE SENSOR (anywhere
on the metal top plate of the watch) with your
index finger.
NOTE: If Heart Rate Sensors are accidentally touched, the watch will
automatically attempt to acquire heart rate. If no heart rate is detected,
watch will resume operating mode in approximately 10 seconds. This
will not interfere with any timing functions in progress.
NOTE: You may exit Heart Rate mode at any time by Pressing the
Mode, Start/Stop or Reset key.
2. Continue TOUCHING & HOLDING until heart rate displays.
3. Once Heart Rate is acquired, RELEASE THE SENSOR. Heart Rate will continue to display for a period of
approximately 5 seconds.
HEART RATE LOCK
To deactivate Finger Touch Heart Rate (when you don’t want to accidentally acquire heart rate):
1. In Time mode, PRESS & HOLD the LAP/VIEW key. The lock icon ( ) will appear in the upper left of the
display.
2. To unlock, PRESS & HOLD the LAP/VIEW key for 2 seconds in Time mode. The lock icon will disappear.

Duo 1060 Speed and Distance Heart Rate Monitor
ACQUIRING HEART RATE WEARING THE CHEST STRAP TRANSMITTER
The Chest Strap Transmitter provides constant heart rate information throughout the duration of your
workout. To ensure a proper heart rate display, the chest transmitter must be properly adjusted. Snap the
plastic tabs at the end of the elastic belt into the holes at the end of the transmitter and adjust the strap so
that the transmitter fits tightly below the pectoral muscles, as shown in the drawing.
NOTE: Users with significant chest hair may have a problem obtaining contact between the transmitter electrodes and their skin, resulting in poor
performance. It may be necessary for these individuals to shave the area of their chest beneath the transmitter.
NOTE: In dry and cold climates it may take a few minutes for a layer of perspiration to form between the chest strap and the skin. Moistening the electrodes
with saliva or ECG conductive gel can speed up this process.
NOTE: If Chest strap heart rate is captured, finger touch heart rate will be disabled.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR STRIDE LENGTH
1. Your stride is the distance between your back foot’s toe and your front foot’s toe (fig. 1). To find out what
your stride is, walk or run 10 steps and then measure the distance with a tape measure from the first
step’s toe to the 10th step’s toe (fig. 2). Divide your total distance by 10 to get your average stride length.
2. For a quick estimate, walk 3 steps, measure the distance, and divide by 3. The more steps you take, the
more accurate and realistic your stride will be. An average walking stride for a female is 2 feet (24in), a
male is 2.5 feet (30in).

SETTING THE WATCH FUNCTIONS
The Sportline Duo 1060 allows you to select from 3 preset Heart Rate Target Zones (ACTIVE, Fat Burn and
Endurance) and 1 user-defined Target Zone. The watch tracks time IN, ABOVE and BELOW Target Zone
during exercise.
SELECTING YOUR TARGET HEART RATE ZONE
Losing weight and managing to keep it off is a lot easier when you exercise in your target heart rate zone.
To get the most out of any exercise program, you should target 50% to 85% of your maximum heart rate
depending on your fitness level and objectives.
ACTIVE ZONE: 50% - 60% OF MAXIMUM HEART RATE.
This zone is ideal for fitness beginners on a low to moderate intensity program. Exercising in this zone
reduces blood pressure and cholesterol.
FAT BURNING ZONE: 60% - 75% OF MAXIMUM HEART RATE.
Exercising in this zone strengthens the cardiovascular system and nearly all the calories burned are from
fats.
ENDURANCE ZONE: 75% - 85% OF MAXIMUM HEART RATE.
Reaching this zone requires more intense aerobic activity and is perfect for fitness enthusiasts working to
burn maximum calories from fat and carbohydrates. Cardiovascular strengthening, increased metabolism and
elevated caloric burn are the primary benefits.
