the watch will automatically turn off the receiving circuit. Press the [D] button 2 times to
activate the heart rate receiving circuit again.
- If long response time or no heart rate reading, check for possible causes and solutions
in chapter 7.
- The device contains sensitive electronic components. Keep it clear of strong electric or
magnetic fields in the immediate surroundings as these may affect the radio signal
between watch and chest strap.
- You can get interferences from other users’ heart rate monitors. Keep a safety distance
of 1 meter between users.
Average, maximum and minimum heart rate readings
During or after exercise, you can see the average, maxi-
mum and minimum heart rate readings.
• Press the [D] button in the current time mode to get to
the heart rate mode.
• From the heart rate mode, press the [U] button to re-

Heart rate zone alert function
• The heart rate alert is a function which alerts you
when your heart rate is out of the objective heartbeat zone. The heartbeat zone consists
of settable upper and lower limits expressed in percentage of your maximum heart rate
or in Beats Per Minute (BPM).
• The Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is calculated by
this watch using the formula:
MHR = 220 – user age
Important Note:
This formula only gives an estimation
based on statistics which might not reflect precisely your
own MHR. For a better evaluation, you can have your
MHR clinically measured or perform a field test under a
trainer supervision.
• This watch displays the percentage of maximum
heart rate calculated by using the formula:
% of MHR = acquired heart rate / MHR x 100 %

How to get a heart rate reading
• Wear the watch around your wrist.
• Adjust the transmitter on the centre of your
chest with the supplied elastic band. For men,
the chest strap should be located directly
below pectoral muscles and for women,
directly below the breast. The conductive pads
should make firm contact with your skin and
the strap should be tight enough to avoid
loosening it during exercise.

sweat is enough to ensure a good contact with
the conductive pads. However, you can
moisten the conductive pads with water, saliva
or conductive gel (available at you local pharmacy).
• Press the [D] button in the current time mode
to get to the heart rate mode.
• The watch will automatically activate the heart
rate receiving circuit after 3 seconds. The icon
‘ ‘will appear and icons and will flash until current Heart Rate
is displayed together with percentage of the maximum heart rate. If the heart rate alert
is activated, the watch might beep. Refer to section ‘How to set the heart rate zone Alert’
for further explanation.
NOTES:
- The watch will go into idle mode if no signal has been received from the chest belt,
will stop flashing. If no signal has been received during the last 5 minutes,
