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 to a static pressure of 3 ATM 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 / MEASURING STRIDE LENGTH
ACQUIRING HEART RATE: FINGER TOUCH
Heart rate may be acquired from any operating mode (not in any Setting Sequence).
1. With the watch on 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 10 seconds.
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).

FINDING 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 55% to 85% of your maximum heart rate
depending on your fitness level and objectives.
Fat Burning Zone: 55% - 65% 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 and nearly all the calories burned are fats.
Cardio Zone: 65% - 75% 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.
Endurance Zone: 75% - 85% of maximum heart rate.
Exercising in the Endurance Zone is generally recommended for athletes in training. Cardiovascular
strengthening, increased metabolism and elevated caloric burn are the primary benefits.
SETTING HEART RATE TARGET ZONE AND USER PROFILE
The Sportline S12 Anytouch Pedometer Heart Rate Watch allows you to set a Target Heart Rate Zone for
targeted exercise. The watch automatically calculates your Maximum Heart Rate from your User Profile.
1. In Heart Rate Zone mode, PRESS & HOLD the MODE key to enter the Programming Sequence.
2. Adjust Upper Zone Limit (Hi in display) by PRESSING the START/STOP (S/S) or RESET (R) key. Set by
PRESSING the MODE key.
