Activating the heart rate monitor from power saving
mode
You can activate your heart rate monitor by pressing any key. If the

utes, it switches to the power saving mode. At that point, only the
current time and the date will be displayed. Press any key in order to
reactivate the watch.

belt is snug, but neither too loose nor too tight.
Position the belt around the chest such that the
logo is facing outwards and in the correct posi-
tion directly over the breast bone. For men, the
chest belt should be located directly below the
pectoral muscles, for women, directly below the
breast.
Since optimal contact between the skin and the heart rate sensors
can not be created immediately, it may take some time until the
heart rate is measured and displayed. If necessary, alter the posi-
tion of the transmitter in order to achieve optimal contact. Most of
the time, sufficient contact is achieved through the accumulation
of sweat beneath the chest strap. You can, however, also wet the
contact points on the inside of the chest strap. For this, lift the
chest strap up from the skin slightly and wet the two sensors with
saliva, water or ECG gel (available at the chemistry). The contact
