Heart Rate Features

• This Watch includes a chest strap, thus the Watch can provide a continuous supply of heart rate data like current heart rate, average heart rate and maximum heart rate to user for guiding them to achieve their fitness goal.

Precautions / Tips

• There is two contacts located on the back of the Chest Strap. These two contacts must be firmly contacted with the user’s skin during measurement.

• DO NOT take heart rate measurement when diving or under water.

• Clean the contacts occasionally by applying a few drops of water, and wipe it dry with a paper towel to remove any residual grease.

• DO NOT use hand cream; it will insulate the signal between the skin and the contacts.

• Clean your skin with soap and water for better signal transmission.

• For those with extremely dry skin, apply some conductive gel or water may help.

• Adjust the Chest Strap with the supplied elastic band until it is hold on your chest firmly to avoid loosen it when doing exercise.

• Avoid doing any awkward motion during measurment, otherwise error may be resulted.

5.9

Workout Mode - Potential Causes for NO Heart Rate Reading or Long Response Time

1) Cause: Dry Skin.

Solution: Apply conductive gel or saliva thoroughly to chest area. Even water will help if conductive gel is not available.

2) Cause: Chest strap is not placed firmly over the chest.

Solution: Make sure the chest strap is placed firmly over the chest by tightening elastic band.

3) Cause: Muscle tremors caused by holding the Chest strap too hard on your chest.

Solution: The contacts must make firm contact (NOT too hard) with the user’s skin during measurement. This will ensure good and consistent readings even while walking or jogging with arms swing naturally.

4) Cause: Dead skin on chest.

Solution: Usually rubbing your skin with a towel will help.

5) Cause: A thin layer of body grease insulate the ECG signal which prevents the Chest

Strap or Watch from picking up one’s ECG.

Solution: Wipe chest and the back of Chest Strap with a tissue or soft towel.

6) Cause: Hairy skin.

Solution: Apply conductive gel to chest area or wrist.

7) Cause: Irregular heartbeats.

Solution: N/A It is difficult to consistently pick up a reading for those with irregular heart beats. Inconsistent response times are expected for those with arrhythmia.

8) Cause: Battery Low.

Solution: It might be due to the battery level of the Chest Strap / watch is low. Replace the battery and try again.

9) Cause: Interference of other RF devices (Chest-Strap Measurement)

Solution: Depart from the place where RF source potentially exist.
