TRAINING INFORMATION
HOW THE HEART RATE MONITOR HELPS YOU
A heart rate monitor is the most important tool in
cardiovascular health and an ideal training partner . It enables
you to see and monitor results. This helps you assess your
past performance, maximize your workout and adapt your
future exercise program to achieve your desired goals in a
safer and more effective way .
When you exercise, the chest belt picks up your heartbeat
and sends it to the watch. Now you can view your heart rate
and start monitoring your performance based on your heart
rate readings. As you get fitter, your heart will need to do
less work and the speed of your heartbeat will decrease. The
reason for this is as follows:
• Y our heart pumps blood to your lungs to obtain oxygen.
Then, the oxygen rich blood will travel to your muscles.
The oxygen is used as fuel and the blood leaves the
muscles and returns to the lungs to begin the process
again. As you get fit, your heart is able to pump more
blood with every beat. As a result, your heart doesn’t
have to beat as often to get the necessary oxygen to
your muscles.
TRAINING TIPS
T o gain maximum benefit from your training program and to
ensure that you exercise safely , please observe the following
guidelines:
• Start with a well-defined training goal, such as to lose
weight, keep fit, improve health or compete in a sporting
event.
• Select a training activity you enjoy and vary your training
activities to exercise different muscle groups.
• Start slowly , and then gradually step up your workout
as you become fitter. Exercise regularly . T o maintain a
healthy cardio-vascular system, 20-30 minutes three
times a week is recommended.
• Always allow at least five minutes before and after
exercising for warm-up and cool-down.
• Measure your pulse after training. Then repeat the
procedure again after three minutes. If it does not return
to its normal resting rate, you may have trained too
hard.
• Always check with your doctor before starting a vigorous
training program.

• Heart rate chest belt
• Adjustable elastic belt
• Bike mount
• 2 x CR2032 lithium batteries (already installed)
T o turn on the watch (first time use only):
Press any key for 2 seconds to activate the LCD.
NOTE T o ensure accuracy , calibrate the watch before first
use (see Calibration section for more information).
WEARING THE CHEST BELT AND WATCH
CH EST BE L T
The heart rate chest belt is used to count your heartbeat and
transmit the data to the watch.
T o w ea r th e ch est b e lt :
• Wet the conductive
pads on the underside
of the chest belt with a
few drops of water or a
conductive gel to ensure
solid contact.
• Strap the heart rate chest
belt across your chest.
T o ensure an accurate
heart rate signal, adjust
the strap until the belt
sits snugly below your
pectoral muscles.
TI PS
• The position of the chest belt affects its performance.
Move the chest belt along the strap so that it falls above
your heart.
• Avoid areas with dense chest hair .
• 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.
• T o 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 50°C) 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.
WA TC H
Y ou can wear the receiver on your wrist or strap it to a bike
or exercise machine as shown below .
TRANSMISSION SIGNAL
The chest belt and watch have a maximum transmission
range of about 62.5 centimeters (25 inches). They are
equipped with the latest digital coding system to reduce
signal interference from the environment and for more
accurate readings.
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 10 cm (4 inches) from the
watch.
IC ON DE SCR IP TI ON
The outer heart flashes
Searching for a
signal
The inner heart flashes
A signal has been
found
No signal has
been found
NOTE If the watch is kept idle without receiving a signal
from the chest belt for 5 minutes, the heart rate and speed
functions will be turned off.
IMPORT ANT If the heart rate icon does not appear on the
display or is not flashing because no signal has been found,
force a signal search. See “Signal Search” section for how
to do this.
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 will only show “0”:
• Shorten the distance between the heart rate chest
belt and watch.
• Re-adjust the position of the heart rate chest belt.
• Check the batteries. If they are low or exhausted,
the range may be less.
• Force a signal search (see “Signal Search”
section).
2. Interference from another person’ s heart rate monitor
– their heart rate readings appear on your watch, or the
watch shows “0”:
• T ake the chest belt off for 12 seconds to
automatically change your User ID. (The watch has
4 User ID’ s. When the watch receives the chest belt
signal, it will tell you which User ID it has selected.
Only products with a digital coding system have
User ID capability .)
NOTE The heart rate readings may interfere with other
users if the distance is less than 84 cm (33 inches).
3. The signal is jammed – the heart rate reading on your
watch is flashing:
• There is too much interference in the environment
for your heart rate monitor to function. Move to an
area where the heart rate reading stops flashing.
W ARNING Signal interference in the environment can
be due to 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 and speed
readings may become unstable and inaccurate.
SIGNAL SEARCH
T o f orc e a si gn al s ear ch :
1. Press MODE to enter TRAIN or CHRONO Mode.
2. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds. The signal-
searching icon with the outside flashing will appear to
confirm a signal search is taking place. Whenever the
watch is searching for the chest belt signal, make sure
that the chest belt is no further than 10 cm (4 inches)
from the watch.
The signal search will take approximately 10 seconds. If
after 10 seconds the heart icon is not flashing, then your
signal search has been unsuccessful and you need to force
another signal search. See the table in the “Transmission
Signal” section for more signal status information.

EXERCISE PROFILE
T o use the SMART TRAINING PROGRAM you need to set
the exercise profile.
Different activities exercise the body in different ways
and help you to achieve a variety of fitness goals. T o
accommodate this, the exercise profile can be set to suit
different exercise activities. For example, if you are running,
your exercise profile settings are likely to differ from those
you would use when undertaking a weight training activity .

• Exercise T imer Minute (if Timer is chosen)
• Warm-Up Timer (set to 5, 10, 15 mins to activate or
0 to deactivate timer)
• Rest (Recovery) T imer ON or OFF
NOTE Once you have set your user profile and target activity
your lower and upper heart rate limit will be set automatically .
However , If the automatic settings don’t suit you, you can
manually change them. If you change the target activity , they
will automatically be updated.
TARGET ACTIVITY
There are 3 target activity levels:
T A RGE T ACT IV IT Y MH R% DES CR IP TI ON
WALK Health
Maintenance 65-78%
This is the lowest
training intensity
level. It is good
for beginners and
those who want to
strengthen their
cardiovascular
systems.
JOG Aerobic
Exercise 65-85%
Increases strength
and endurance. It
works within the
body’s oxygen intake
capability , burns more
calories, and can be
maintained for a long
period of time.
RUN Anaerobic
Exercise 78-90%
Generates speed
and power . It works
at or above the
body’s oxygen intake
capability , builds
muscle and cannot
be maintained for a
long period of time.
MAXIMUM / LOWER / UPPER HEART RATE LIMIT
Before you begin any exercise program and to achieve
maximum health benefits from your workout, it is important
to know your:
• Maximum heart rate (MHR)
• Lower heart rate limit
• Upper heart rate limit
T o manually calculate your own heart rate limits, follow the
instructions below:
MH R LOW ER LI M IT UPP ER LI MI T
MHR = 220
– age
MHR x lower
target activity %.
E.g. T arget
activity is WALK
Lower Limit =
MHR x 65%
MHR x upper target
activity %.
E.g. T arget activity is
WALK Upper Limit =
MHR x 78%
HEART RATE ALERT
Y ou can set the heart rate alert in the exercise profile to the
following settings:
IC ON DE SCR IP TI ON
Heart rate sound is OFF
Heart rate sound alert is ON
• 1 beep means you have gone
below your lower zone limit
• 2 beeps means you have gone
above your upper zone limit
When the heart rate alert is activated, a flashing down or up
arrow will appear on the display to show which heart rate
limit you have surpassed.
CALIBRATION AND SPEED
CALIBRATION
Before using the speed and distance function, you need to
calibrate for both running and walking. Y ou do this by entering
a pre-set distance and using the watch to determine a rough
estimate of your speed (for both running and walking). This
is called the real calibration.
T o set real calibration:
1. Make sure the transmission between the watch and
chest belt is well connected.
2. Press MODE to enter TRAIN mode.
3. Press and hold SET to enter setting mode.
4. Press ST / SP / + or M EM / - to select calibration (CALI)
and press SE T to confirm.
5. Press ST / S P / + or M EM / - to select walking or running.
Y ou must do both walking and running separately . The
watch can automatically distinguish if you are walking or
running.
6. Press ST / SP / + or MEM / - to select the distance you
will walk / run and (400 meters is suggested) and press
SET to confirm.
7. Press ST / SP / + to start calibration and then immediately
start walking or running.
8. Once you have completed the distance set, press ST /
SP / + to end calibration. It is very important to end the
calibration by pressing S T / S P / + to ensure accurate
operation of the heart rate monitor .
9. The watch can detect whether the calibration has been
accurate or not. If calibration has failed you can redo it
by pressing SET and repeating steps 8 and 9, or cancel
by pressing ST / SP / + .
10. Repeat again so that both walk and run are calibrated.
IMPORT ANT If an in-progress calibration is interrupted,
you must restart and complete calibration before using the
unit again.
TIPS
• The speed and distance function is only for running or
walking, not for cycling or driving.
• When calibrating running, for a more accurate calibration
please run below 15km/h (or 3 steps per second).
• The watch will show the estimated distance completed
during calibration. If the final estimate is 20% over or
under the set distance, we suggest recalibration.
• The calibration depends on the body’s walking or
