Operation
Heart-Rate Mode (Precautions and Tips)
• There are two heart-rate sensor contacts on the watch: Sensor Contact 1 and the Back
Cover (Sensor Contact 2). The Back Cover must make firm contact with the user’s skin
(wrist) during measurement.
• Do not take heart-rate measurements while diving or under water.
• Do not use with hand cream. 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 the fingers and wrist with tap water or a conductive gel.
• Clean the Back Cover occasionally, using a damp cloth. Wipe dry to remove any residue.
• To ensure better signal transmission, clean your skin and fingers with soap and water.

Operation
• Hold the watch firmly when taking measurements in motion.
• Avoid awkward motions during measurement. They may create inaccurate heart-
rate readings.
Heart-Rate Measurement
1. To measure heart rate, press the HEART RATE button with your index finger for about
5 seconds.
2. Ensure the Back Cover of the watch sits firmly on the skin.
3. Press SENSOR CONTACT 1 with your thumb.
Note: To obtain a heart-rate reading, both Sensor Contact buttons must be pressed
simultaneously.

Operation
Getting a Heart-Rate Reading
1. Ensure the watch sits securely on your wrist.
2. Hold down SENSOR CONTACT 1 and the HEART RATE button with your thumb and
index finger, respectively. The “Heart” icon appears on the display.
3. Continue to hold while the watch measures your heart rate.
4. After the reading is acquired, the measured heart rate appears on the display. To pro-
long the results on the display, continue to hold down the HEART RATE button. If there
is no heart-rate reading in 20 seconds or the HEART RATE button is released before the
heart rate is acquired, the watch automatically stops measuring.
Note: During heart-rate reading, the analog’s second hand will stop until the measurement
is finished. When complete, the second hand will fast forward to synchronize with the
digital time.

Operation
Heart-Rate Mode
During heart-rate reading, if you get no reading or experience long response times, refer to
the section below:
1. Cause: Dry skin.
Solution: Moisten fingers and wrist area with water or conductive gel.
2. Cause: Fingers are not placed firmly over the sensors.
Solution: Make sure the pads of your fingers (not the tips) press firmly over the sensors
and the watch is placed securely on your wrist. Fingertips do not allow for enough
contact, therefore, ECG signals will not be picked up.
3. Cause: Muscle tremors caused by: a) Pressing down too hard on the sensors with
fingers, b) Person is in motion and holding the watch in an awkward manner.
Solution: It is best to place the pad of your thumb on Sensor Contact 1 and have your
index finger press the Heart Rate button. If you are measuring heart rate while walking
or jogging, ensure your arm is relaxed and below chest level while moving naturally.

Operation
4. Cause: Dead skin on wrist.
Solution: Rub it off to promote solid contact with the Back Cover.
5. Cause: A thin layer of the body’s natural oil can insulate the ECG signal and prevent
the Back Cover from picking up user’s ECG.
Solution: Wipe wrist and back of the watch with a tissue or soft towel.
6. Cause: Hairy arms.
Solution: Apply conductive gel to wrist area.
7. Cause: Irregular heartbeats.
Solution (N/A): It is difficult to consistently pick up a reading for those with irregular
heartbeats. Inconsistent response times are to be expected for those with arrhythmia.

Battery Usage
To save power, the LED display turns off automatically if there is no activity for 3 seconds.
If the LED intensity is getting weak or looks faded, you may need to replace the battery.
Display Viewing
When viewing under a strong light source such as the sun, to increase visibility use your
