INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Tech4O
Accelerator Pulse Watch. Your watch
uses an advanced accelerometer sensor
technology to accurately measure speed,
distance, heart rate and calories
Although your Accelerator watch has a
pre-programmed profile, it is extremely
important to enter your own profile in
the MAIN SETTINGS MENU – 8 of 11
Personal Profile.
Accurate measurement and input of your
weight, age, gender and walking/run-
ning stride lengths is crucial to achieving
accurate results. For help with measuring
your average strides, visit www.tech4o.
com and use the stride length calculator
on the Accelerator product pages
Your new Accelerator watch uses a menu
system navigation to access, display and
adjust its various modes. Understanding
how this system works is important to
enjoying your new watch. Please take the
time to read and follow this manual
Buttons:
LIGHT • Turns on an electroluminescent
backlight

To Wear Heart Rate Chest Strap: see fig.2
The Accelerator Pulse has two primary menus:
Exercise Mode and Home Time Mode each
have their own menu system. See fig.3
Note: For your
convenience, these
two menus share 5
features that can be
accessed through
either menu
Chest Strap Information:
The chest strap will allow your watch to capture,
display and save heart rate data. This strap must be
worn with good contact on your bare skin. Moisture
between the strap and your skin aids in conductivity
and allows the heart rate feature to work properly.

To Use the Exercise Mode: See fig.9
Important: Although Exercise Mode will
automatically record information once
it has been accessed, the sensors still
need time to initialize. The watch will
beep when the sensors are ready. It is
extremely important that you wait for
the beep. If you begin your exercise
before initialization, the results will be
grossly inaccurate.
Although this watch has a pre-programmed
profile, it is extremely important to enter
your personal profile in the MAIN SETTINGS
MENU – Personal Profile: 8 of 11
Correct age, weight and gender are important
to establish heart rate parameters. Correct
measure of your weight and walking/
running stride lengths is crucial to achieving
accurate speed and distance info. For help
with measuring your average stride lengths,
visit www.tech4o.com and use the stride
length calculator on the Accelerator product
page. See the following on how to access
and navigate the five Exercise Mode displays
Exercise Mode Displays:
• PRESS LAP/RESET from the Home Time
display to access Exercise Mode

Estimated Maximum Heart Rate and
Percentage of Maximum Heart Rate:
Your Accelerator watch records and calculates
various heart rate data. Much of this data is
based on your estimated maximum heart
rate which is determined by the information
entered in your personal profile. See fig 11

Your Accelerator watch contains a vast amount
of internal memory. Daily exercise data is
automatically stored every night at midnight.
The watch’s memory will store up to 7 days
of individual daily exercise data and log
the current day. After 7 days, the daily data
is automatically cataloged into a weekly
exercise record. The Accelerator’s memory
stores 10 weeks of records plus the last 7
days as daily exercise data. All data is stored
on a rolling counter i.e.: after 10 weeks, the
oldest record is replaced by the most recent
weekly data. See the following steps to
access the Accelerator’s internal memory
