EN • Start slowly, and then gradually step up your workout as you become fitter. Exercise regularly. To 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.

EN • Bike mount • 2 x CR2032 lithium batteries – already installed To turn on the watch (first-time use only): Press any key for 2 seconds to activate the LCD. WEARING THE CHEST BELT AND WATCH CHEST BELT The heart rate chest belt is used to count your heartbeat and transmit the data to the watch. To wear the chest belt: 1. 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. 2.
EN 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.
EN IMPORTANT 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. 2. The signal is weak – the watch will only show “0”: • Shorten the distance between the heart rate chest belt and watch.
EN 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. SETTING THE KEYPAD TONE / LIGHT MODE You can set the watch to have the: • Keypad “Beep” tone ON or OFF. • Light Mode ON or OFF (see “Activating the Backlight” section). To set these features: 1.

EN 4. Repeat step 3 to change other settings: Hour / Minute / Year / DD:MM or MM:DD date format / Month / Day. NOTE The clock is programmed with a 50-year auto-calendar, which means you do not need to reset the days of the week and dates each month. ALARM Your watch has an alarm that can be set to activate daily (Mon-Sun), on weekdays (Mon-Fri), or on the weekend (Sat-Sun). To set alarm: 1. Press MODE to enter TIME Mode. 2. Press SET to select alarm. 3.
EN USER PROFILE To access the full benefits of the heart rate monitor set up your user profile before you exercise. This will automatically generate a fitness index and body mass index. These calculations along with the calorie and % fat burned will help you track your progress over time. To set user profile: 1. Press MODE to enter User Profile. 2. If this screen appears, press SET to enter the User Profile. 3. Press and hold SET until the first setting flashes. 4.
EN ACTIVITY LEVEL The activity level is based on your own self-assessment of the amount of exercise you regularly perform. ACTIVITY LEVEL DESCRIPTION LITTLE Low - You do not usually participate in programmed recreation sports or exercise. HOBBY Medium - 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.
EN 3. Press SET to choose between the 3 exercise profiles. 4. Press and hold SET until the first setting flashes. The display will change to “WALK”, “JOG” or “RUN” after a while. 5. Press ST / SP / + or LAP / MEM / - to change the walk / jog / run setting. Hold down for fast advancement. Press SET to confirm the setting and move on to the next one. 6.
EN TARGET ACTIVITY There are 3 target activity levels: TARGET ACTIVITY MHR% DESCRIPTION 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.
EN MHR LOWER LIMIT UPPER LIMIT MHR = 220 - age MHR x lower target activity %. E.g. Target activity is WALK Lower Limit = MHR x 65% MHR x upper target activity %. E.g.
EN calibration for running and / or walking. You can use the watch without calibration, but the accuracy of speed and distance will be lower. After calibration, the accuracy of the speed and distance will increase. To set real calibration: 1. Make sure the transmission between the watch and the chest belt is well connected. 2. Press MODE to enter SPEED Mode. 3. Press and hold SET to enter setting mode. 4. Press ST / SP / + or LAP / MEM / - to select CALIBRATION (Cali) and press SET to confirm. 5.
EN NOTE You can stop the calibration at any time by pressing ST / SP / + and exit the setting mode by pressing MODE. NOTE The speed and distance function is only for running or walking, not for cycling or driving. NOTE The calibration depends on the body’s walking or running behavior, even the shoes you are wearing. Therefore, when another person uses the watch, he/she must re-do the calibration. NOTE It will take the watch about 10 seconds to return to “0” once you’ve stopped walking or running.
EN SETTING TARGET(S) Before you start exercising you can set different targets (by distance or by time). There are 9 sets of targets available. When first target is complete, it will go to the next target automatically and so on until all targets are complete. This is useful for those who want to do training for various exercise segments. To set targets: 1. Press MODE to enter SPEED Mode. 2. Press and hold SET to enter setting mode. 3.
EN NOTE You can reset all the targets at any time by pressing and holding SET. During the workout you can check the following information by pressing SET: • Target distance / time remaining and speed • Target distance / time remaining and heart rate • Clock and pace • Total distance for all targets done and average speed • Total time and average pace NOTE The pace is the time (MM’SS”) required to finish one kilometer or mile.
EN ABOUT THE SMART TRAINING PROGRAM The SMART TRAINING PROGRAM enables you to complete exercise cycles effectively. It will guide you through from a 5-minute warm-up (default setting) to the end of your exercise program. In addition to monitoring your heart rate and altering you whenever you fall out of the range for the selected training zone, the Program allows you to check the calories consumed and the % fat burned.
EN The order of the Timer Mode is: • Warm-up time - The warm-up will not display if it has been set “0” in the exercise profile. • Exercise time or distance - The exercise time or distance is set in the exercise profile. • Rest time - The rest (recovery) time is automatically set to 3 minutes and cannot be changed. When the timer reaches “0”, the recovery heart rate will flash.
EN • Clock with pace VIEWING SMART TRAINING PROGRAM MEMORY RECORDS When the SMART TRAINING PROGRAM has been completed, press LAP / MEM / - to enter memory mode.
