Personal Heart Rate Monitor Notes & Tips
❖ At any time during the setting process, you can save your changes and
return to the main heart rate display by pressing SET.
❖ While setting the watch, if you do not press any buttons on the watch
for a period of 2-3 minutes, the watch will automatically save whatever
changes you have made and exit the setting process.
❖ During an activity, you can view the time by pressing SET.
❖ At any time during the setting process, press and hold ON/OFF to
quickly increase the setting value or RECV/DATE to quickly decrease
the setting value.
❖ Data accumulation will be suspended if 1) the activity timer reaches
24-hours; 2) an error occurs; 3) you turn off the Personal Heart Rate
Monitor either on the watch or by taking off the Sensor.
❖ When you start a new activity while receiving valid heart rate data, you
erase all data from a previous activity.
❖ The watch and the Personal Heart Rate Sensor need to be within 3 feet
(1 meter) of each other to function properly. If the watch is not receiv-
ing heart rate information, try the following:
Heart Rate Recovery
Heart rate recovery provides an indicator of fitness and training level. As
you become more fit, your heart rate should return more quickly to a
lower heart rate value at the end of your activity, indicating a higher level
of cardiovascular fitness. A slower recovery rate can also indicate a need
to take a break from training due to fatigue, illness, or other factors.
Your recovery rate represents the change in your heart rate over a period
of time. Your Personal Heart Rate Monitor records the change in your heart
rate over a period of 1-minute.
To determine your recovery heart rate
The watch cannot record a recovery unless the Personal Heart Rate Sensor
is receiving a current heart rate and a valid pulse. Without a current heart
rate, the display will read ERROR at the end of the 1-minute recovery
period. If the starting heart rate is lower than the ending heart rate, the
display will read NO REC.
1. Press RECV/DATE. The watch will capture your current heart rate in
beats per minute (BPM) and begin the 1-minute countdown.
2. After the countdown, the watch will beep indicating the end of the
recovery period. The watch will capture your heart rate a second time,
subtract the second value from the first value and display the differ-
ence as the recovery heart rate.
3. Once you start the recovery, you can temporarily recall data by press-
ing RECALL. The heart rate recovery display will appear at the end of
the 1-minute countdown.
