directly to step 4.

For normal setting procedure:

1.

Touch

MODE/-

repeatedly to select “SET”, “TIME” will be displayed shortly after.

2.

Touch

+/ST/SP

repeatedly to navigate to “USER”.

3.

Touch

ENTER

to enter user profile setting options.

4.

Set user profile according to the following order: gender, age, weight unit, weight, height

unit, height, fitness level, by touching the following buttons:

•

+/ST/SP

to increase value or toggle options

•

MODE/-

to decrease value or toggle options

•

ENTER

to confirm

“DONE” indicates user profile setting has been completed.

This is only shown when setting

the watch for the first time or after battery reset.

FITNESS LEVEL

The fitness level is based on your own self-assessment of how fit you are (depending on the

amount of exercise you regularly perform).

FITNESS

LEVEL

DESCRIPTION

BEG

Beginner – You haven’t exercised for a while and do not usually participate in

programmed recreation sports or exercise.

INT

Intermediate – You are engaged in modest physical activity (such as

golfing, horseback riding, table tennis, calisthenics, bowling, weight lifting or

gymnastics) 2-3 times a week, totaling 1 hour per week.

ATH

Athelete – You actively and regularly participate in heavy physical exercise

(such as running, jogging, swimming, cycling, or skipping rope) or engage in

vigorous aerobic exercise (such as tennis, basketball or handball).

NOTE

You must enter the fitness level to calculate the calories burned.

TIP

The watch generates calculations based on the inputted data to show the calorie / fat

burned and the period exercised at the chosen intensity (target HR zone range) to help you

track your progress over time.

As you progress, update weight and fitness level to help the

watch give you an up-to-date reflection of your physical condition.

SETTING MODE

After setting your user profile, the “USER” screen below will be shown.

You can continue with

the other settings by touching

+/ST/SP

repeatedly (see step 2 below).

However, if the user profile was set for the first time or after battery reset, the watch will

automatically return to the default time display.

Start with step 1.

WEARING THE CHEST BELT

If you only wish to use the stopwatch function (and not record any fitness data), skip

to ‘Start exercising’ section.

Chest belt

The chest belt counts your heartbeat and transmits this data

to the watch.

1.

Wet the conductive pads on the underside of the chest belt

with a few drops of water or conductive gel to ensure solid

contact.

2.

Holding the elastic strap, thread the plastic tab through the

eyelet of the chest belt unit. Turn it slightly and snap into

place.

3.

Place the heart rate chest

belt slightly below your chest

and wrap the strap around

your chest.

Pass the other

tab through the remaining

eyelet and snap into place.

To

ensure

an

accurate

heart

rate signal, adjust the strap until

the belt sits snugly below your

pectoral muscles.

TIPS

•

The position of the chest belt affects its performance.

•

In dry, cold climates, it may take several minutes for the chest belt to function steadily.

This is normal and should improve with several minutes of exercise.

NOTE

To maintain the best performance of your chest belt, please handle it with care

according to the following:

•

Do not wrap the chest belt in a wet towel nor with other wet materials.

•

Do not store the chest belt in a hot (about 122°F) and humid (about 90%) environment.

•

Do not place or wash the chest belt under running water, instead clean it with a wet

cloth.

•

Do not place the conductive rubber face down on a metal table or surface.

•

Properly dry the chest belt immediately after use.

TRANSMISSION SIGNAL

The heart rate chest belt and watch have a maximum transmission range of about 25 inches.

They are equipped with the latest digital coding system to reduce signal interference from the

environment, as well as analog technology.

Search for heart rate signal:

•

Touch

MODE/-

to select “EXE”, “HR BELT” will be displayed shortly after to indicate

system is searching for chest belt signal.

NOTE

Whenever the watch is searching for the chest belt signal (manual or automatic

search), make sure that the chest belt is no further than 4 inches from the watch.

Your watch will advise you which system it is using and the signal status by displaying the

following icons:

Icon

Description

Searching for a signal

(Touch

ENTER

to skip search and only use

stopwatch function)

A signal has been found and the digital system

is being used

A signal has been found and the analog system

is being used

(no

symbol)

No signal has been found

Signal unsuccessful?

The signal search will take approximately

30 seconds. If after 30 seconds the “NO HR

BELT” is displayed, then your signal search

has been unsuccessful. You can either:

1)

Touch

ENTER

and proceed to use the watch as a stopwatch (without exercise recording

function); or

2)

Touch

MODE/-

to force another signal search.

Analog or Digital?

The digital signal is less susceptible to signal interference and is suitable in crowded areas or

where there are other monitors / equipment. You should only switch to the analog transmission

signal if the situation in point 2 occurs (see ‘Encountering difficulties?’ below).

To switch from digital to analog or analog to digital system:

1)

Press the chest belt button for more than 6 seconds.

2)

Touch

MODE/-

to select “EXE” and force another signal search.

Encountering difficulties?

In the event that you experience a weak signal or your signal is disrupted by interference in the

environment, follow the instructions below to identify and resolve the situation.

1.

The signal is weak - the watch may only show “--”:

•

Shorten the distance between the heart rate chest belt and watch.

•

Re-adjust the position of the heart rate chest belt.

•

Check the conductive pads are moist enough to ensure solid contact.

•

Check the batteries. If they are low or exhausted, the transmission range may be

shortened.

•

Touch

MODE/-


2.

The gym equipment does not seem to work with your chest belt and the digital icon

is

displayed:

•

Most gym equipment is compatible with the analog system

. Press and hold the

chest belt button for more than 6 seconds to change from digital to analog. Then touch

MODE/-


3.

Interference from another person’s heart rate monitor - their heart rate readings appear on

your watch, or the readings may fluctuate:

•

Force another signal search by pressing the chest belt button then touch

MODE/-

on the watch. Do not press and hold the chest belt button, as it will change the

transmission signal from digital to analog.

4.

The signal is jammed - “NO HR BELT” appears on the display after several tries:

•

There is too much interference in the environment for your heart rate monitor to

function. Move to an area where the watch can register your heart rate reading.

WARNING

Signal interference in the environment can be caused by electromagnetic

disturbances. These may occur near high voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines

of electric railways, electric bus lines or trams, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some

motor driven exercise equipment, cellular phones or when you walk through electric security

gates. Under interference, the heart rate reading may become unstable and inaccurate.

START EXERCISING

If you wish to receive comprehensive calculations (such as your heart rate and the calorie / fat

burned) for an exercise session, before you start, allow the watch a few seconds to search for

chest belt first.

For detailed information or if encountering difficulties, refer to “Transmission

signal” section above.

START TAKING MEASUREMENTS

If using only the stopwatch function:

1.

Touch

MODE/-

to select “EXE”, “HR BELT” will be displayed shortly after to indicate

system is searching for chest belt signal.

2.

Touch

ENTER

to skip heart rate signal search, then
