top ring) and touch gently for 5-8 seconds (the heart icon will flash).

This watch is a sensitive monitoring device that reads your Ecg signals
and reading times may vary. if you do not get a reading, remove your
finger from the bezel for 30 seconds and try again. if you still do not get
a reading refer to the Troubleshooting - heart rate section.
heart rate lock
The heart rate lock feature prevents triggering the heart rate feature
from accidental contact and environments where excessive water/
moisture is present. an example would be in a pool where the watch is
submerged in water. since water acts as a natural conductor, it can
accidentally trigger the heart rate feature.
To activate the heart rate lock:
1. in Time of Day, hold rEsET for 3 seconds.
2. The “
l
”icon will appear, and if you try to measure
your heart rate, the message “hr OFF” will display.
3. To unlock the heart rate feature, repeat step 1.
NoTe:
if you need to take a heart rate reading while the watch is
“locked”, there is an override to this feature. press rEsET, and while the
“
l
” is flashing, measure your heart rate. Once the heart rate is displayed,
the lock feature is reinstated.
