INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Sportline Personal

Fitness Monitor. Please keep in mind; your watch is a sensitive technical instrument. With proper care and maintenance, it will last for many years. However, improper care and handling can cause the various sensors to be damaged and to stop functioning.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Sportline Personal Fitness Monitors have many unique features and functions. Please read all sections of this manual carefully and become fully familiar with the operation of the watch before using it in the fi eld.

Proper setup and operation will greatly enhance the watch’s usefulness and your enjoyment.

The manual is divided into sections outlining each of the major functions of the watch. A drawing of the watch screen that represents the starting point or other important screens for each operational process are shown adjacent to the instructions for the process; important keys are shown indicating PRESS &

HOLD and PRESS.

WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

WARNING: Before starting any exercise program or performing any vigorous physical activity, we strongly suggest you visit your doctor for a complete physical and to discuss your plans.

CAUTION: Your watch is designed to be water resistant to a static pressure of 50 meters and can be worn while showering and light swimming. However, we recommend that extensive use of the unit in the water be avoided whenever possible. Care should be taken not to press any keys while the unit is submerged as this can force moisture past the key seals and damage the unit.

CAUTION: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme conditions for a prolonged period of time.

CAUTION: Avoid rough usage or severe impacts to your watch.

DO NOT use hand cream as it will insulate the signal between the skin and sensor contacts.

DO NOT use the fi ngertips where the skin is dry and thick. For those with extremely dry skin, moisten fi ngers and wrist with tap water or a conductive gel.

CLEAN the Back Cover occasionally by using a damp cloth. Then wipe dry to remove any residual grease.

CLEAN your skin and fi ngers with soap and water for a better signal transmission.

AVOID doing awkward motions during measurement. It may create inaccurate heart rate readings.

FIT ZONE (PROGRAMMABLE HR ZONE)

The Sportline 965 allows you to program your lower and upper heart zone to maximize your workout. When your heart rate is between the designated zones, the FIT ZONE icon will be shown at the bottom of the watch.

FINDING YOUR TARGET HEART RATE ZONE

Losing weight and managing to keep it off is a lot easier when you exercise in your target heart rate zone.

To get the most out of any exercise program, you should target

55% to 85% of your maximum heart rate depending on your fi tness level and objectives.

Fat Burning Zone: 55% - 65% of maximum heart rate.

This zone is ideal for fi tness beginners on a low to moderate intensity program. Exercising in this zone reduces blood pressure and cholesterol and nearly all the calories burned are fats.

Cardio Zone: 65% - 75% of maximum heart rate.

Reaching this zone requires more intense aerobic activity and is perfect for fi tness enthusiasts working to burn maximum calories from fat and carbohydrates.

Endurance Zone: 75% - 85% of maximum heart rate.

Exercising in the Endurance Zone is generally recommended for athletes in training. Cardiovascular strengthening, increased metabolism and elevated caloric burn are the primary benefi ts.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

POTENTIAL CAUSES FOR NO HEART RATE READING OR LONG

RESPONSE TIME:

CAUSE: Dry Skin

SOLUTION: Apply conductive gel thoroughly to fi nger. Tap water may help if conductive gel is not available.

CAUSE: Muscle tremors caused by pressing on Sensors too hard

SOLUTION: Decrease fi nger pressure on the Sensor Pads.

CAUSE: Dead skin on wrist or fi nger

SOLUTION: Rub off excessive dead skin with a towel.

CAUSE: A thin layer of body grease insulates the ECG signal preventing the Watch from detecting ECG heart rate.

SOLUTION: Wipe wrist and the back of watch with a tissue or soft towel.

CAUSE: Hairy Skin

SOLUTION: Apply conductive gel to wrist.

CAUSE : Low Battery

SOLUTION: Replace the battery in watch.
