Exercising with your Basix
6.)
Heart Rate
- From Time of Day mode click MODE button once to go to Heart Rate mode and begin
your exercise. If your transmitter is correctly attached, the running man indicator on the watch display
should begin to blink and your current heart rate in beats per minute will come up on the display. If
no heart rate is detected for 5 min. the heart rate circuit will switch itself off. The “ ” indicator tells
if the heart rate circuit is on. To switch it back on after it has shut off, simply restart the Heart Rate
mode by clicking the MODE button.
7.)
The Target Zone
- Your watch will provide both a visual indicator (by flashing the heart rate digits)
and an audible alarm (beeping) if your heart rate is above or below your set target zone range. The
”TZ” indicator with the “HIGH” or “LOW” will indicate if your heart rate is within, above or below
the set target zone, respectively. The beeping alarm can be turned on or off by pressing the Alarm
button (indicated by the“ “ on the display).
Troubleshooting
•I can't get a Heart Rate reading?
-The most common cause for the heart rate not turning on or
working erratically is that the belt is not positioned correctly or not moistened properly. Make sure that
the belt is positioned high enough on your chest (too high is better than too low) and properly moistened.
The tension should be comfortable but it shouldn’t be so loose that it slides down the chest. Also make
sure that your watch is within the 3ft. transmitting distance of the transmitter and check the angle of
its position (at further distances, the watch face should be parallel and facing the transmitter, instead
of on an angle).
It is also known that a small percentage of the population may have trouble getting an accurate heart
rate reading with this type of device due to the many various intricacies of the heart rate signal. The
signal may be too weak on the surface of the skin, stronger in a different location of the chest or
irregular in waveform. Also, if the user has had recent heart problems, surgery, or other various
differentiating factors, they might cause a problem. If you are experiencing difficulties in picking up
a steady signal, you may want to try your monitor on another person, or try positioning the belt higher
on your chest, or shifting it more to the left or right of your chest (instead of centering the logo).
•I have a blank screen or missing digits?
-This can be an indication of mechanical shock damage,
a dead battery or possibly moisture damage. If this occurs, you could first try a Global Reset (see
below) otherwise send it in for service. Repairs should only be done by Acumen or an authorized
Acumen service center.
*Global Reset -If your monitor should ever get stuck or act erratically due to dropping it, static shock
or
some other unforeseen reason, this feature will allow you to reset the unit and return all settings back
to their internal defaults. To perform this function press and hold both buttons at once. Caution: THIS
WILL CLEAR EVERYTHING! Including all of your personal settings.
•My heart rate readings act strange while in my car or on an airplane?
-Though the Basix
is designed with high integrity interference elimination circuitry, extremely excessive electrical or
magnetic fields like those in a vehicle (or on board an aircraft) can cause disturbances in the heart
rate readings. When your monitor detects too much interference such as this, it will usually display
”00” or ”- -” and eventually turn its heart rate circuit off. The ” ” indicator tells you if the heart rate
circuit is on. In most cases holding the watch within a foot of the front of the chest belt will allow your
watch to receive the signal and display your heart rate accurately.
