Heart Rate Monitor Troubleshooting
If this happens:
No heart rate appears on
the display, or displayed
values are excessive or
vary widely.
Heart rate measurement
suddenly stops
automatically.
Interference in the signal
from the chest strap.
Check this:
Is the strap attached to your chest correctly?
•
Your heart rate cannot be detected
correctly if the strap is not attached to your
chest correctly.
•
See “To attach the chest strap to your
chest”.
Are the sensor bar’s sensor pads
(diamond pattern areas) wet?
•
Your heart rate cannot be detected if your
skin is dry.
•
Warm up until you start sweating or
moisten the sensor pads with water.
Are the sensor bar’s sensor pads dirty?
•
Dirty sensor pads interfere with stable
heart rate pickup.
•
Clean the sensor pads as required. To clean
the sensor pads, wipe them with a soft, dry
cloth, or with a cloth that has been moistened
in weak solution of water and a mild neutral
detergent. Wring out all excess liquid from
the cloth before wiping. Never use thinner,
benzene, alcohol, or any other volatile agent
to clean the sensor pads.
Is the sensor bar’s battery dead?
•
If so, contact your dealer or CASIO
distributor to have the battery replaced.
Is there some source of electromagnetic
waves (high-tension power lines, TV, cell
phone, etc.) nearby?
•
Electromagnetic waves can make normal
heart rate detection and communication
impossible.
•
Possible sources of electromagnetic
waves are: signal equipment, overhead
railway cables, electric bus cables,
streetcars, automobiles, motorcycles,
computers, motorized fitness equipment,
medical devices, electronic security gates,
radios, railway crossings, TV transmitters,
radar sites, etc.
Do you have heart trouble?
•
Normal readings are not possible if you
have a heart abnormality that causes
changes in the waveform of an
electrocardiogram, or if you are suffering
from arrhythmia.
Is the watch too far from the chest strap?
•
The maximum allowable distance between
the strap and watch is about 90 cm (35.4
inches). Communication is not possible
when they are too far apart.
Do you have a hairy chest?
•
Hair on the chest can interfere with heart
beat detection.
Did more than one minute pass without
the watch detecting any signal from the
chest strap?
•
This will cause measurement to stop
automatically. Restart the measurement
operation.
Did the battery of the sensor bar or watch
go dead during measurement?
•
The RECOV indicator will flash on the
display when the watch’s battery goes low.
If the RECOV indicator appears frequently,
have the watch’s battery replaced.
•
If communication with the sensor bar is
not possible and the RECOV indicator is
not flashing on the display, it could mean
that the sensor bar battery is dead or that
the system is malfunctioning. Take the
watch in to your dealer or CASIO
distributor.
Important!
•
Data in the watch’s memory will be deleted
when you have the battery replaced.
Is someone nearby using the same type of
watch as this one?
•
Move away from the other watch.
If this happens:
The watch does not
calculate energy
consumption.
The energy consumption
value is strange.
A heart mark appears
when the stopwatch or
timer is reset.
Check this:
Is your heart rate above 90 bpm?
•
The watch will not calculate energy
consumption unless your heart rate is 90
bpm or higher.
Are your personal information settings
correct?
•
The watch calculates energy consumption
using your heart rate and personal
information. Make sure your personal
information settings are correct and up to
date.
Did you press the
B
B
B
B
B
button to reset the
stopwatch or timer following an operation
during which you did not perform heart
rate measurement?
•
Pressing the
B
button in order to reset
the stopwatch or timer also starts a heart
rate measurement operation. The heart
mark will disappear from the display if you
hold down the
B
button to reset to the
stopwatch or timer.
Memory
The watch maintains workout records that contain a wealth of
information about each workout. A workout record is created for your last
workout that you timed in the Stopwatch Mode and stored automatically
whenever you clear the stopwatch to all zeros.
Note that memory is shared by lap/split time records and workout
records. There is also a cumulative record that keeps track of long-term
cumulative totals.
The following will give you some idea about how much memory capacity
is available.
•
If you use memory to store lap/split time records only (no workout
records), you can store up to 200 records during a single workout.
•
If you use memory to store workout records only (Start
➡
Stop
➡
Reset), you can store up to 42 records.
Memory Data
The following details the contents of each type of record that can be
stored in memory.
