Attach the chestbelt to the chest and position it in such a
way that the conductive strap is in contact with the skin
underneath the breast. Tighten the elastic band of the
chestbelt to ensure good contact. For dry skin, a small
amount of water may apply to the conductive strap and to
the area underneath the breast to further improve the
conduction between the pads and the skin.

from the chestbelt, the user can start the work
out and the exercise timer by pressing S1.
The user can switch to the different views during the work
out without stopping the exercise timer. The watch has 8
