CARDIO CONNECT
Over view. Thank you for purchasing the DKN Cardio Connect. The DKN Cardio Connect provides an approximate heart rate read-out suitable for fitness training purposes. This device can also be used as a fitness tracker allowing you to record, store, and view your daily activity. Wrist Placement. Your DKN Cardio Connect should be worn on your wrist. For all-day wear, your DKN Cardio Connect should be worn as you’d normally wear a watch.
As with all heartrate tracking technology, a wrist-based sensor accuracy is affected by personal physiology, location of wear, and type of movement. In other words, not every person will get a perfectly ac-curate reading with every type of exercise. Heart rate displayed is an approximate readout, and may not be used as guidance in any cardiovascular related medical or paramedical program.
For best heart rate accuracy keep these tips in mind: • Experiment with wearing the Cardio Connect. Position higher on your wrist during exercise. Because blood flow in your arm increases the farther up you go, moving the Cardio Connect up a few cm can improve the heart rate signal. Also, many exercises such as spinning cause you to bend your wrist frequently, which is more likely to interfere with the heart rate signal if the Cardio Connect is lower on your wrist.
• Do not wear your Cardio Connect too tight: a tight band restricts blood flow, potentially affecting the heart rate signal. The Cardio Connect should also be slightly tighter (but not constricting) during exercise than during all day wear. • With high-intensity interval training or activities where your wrist is moving vigorously and non-rhythmically, the movement may prevent the sensor from finding an accurate heartrate.
loosens during exercise. Try relaxing your wrist and staying still briefly (about 10 seconds), after which you hould see an accurate heart rate reading. • You can check the time on your Cardio Connect without pressing the button. Just turn your wrist towards you and time will show for a few seconds. • Please read this guide carefully be-fore use. DKN takes no responsibility for any damage or injuries caused by improper use of the tracker.
