Congratulations on your purchase.
We commend your efforts on taking steps for healthier living.
Measuring your heart rate is fun and easy, and can help manage your
‘heart health’.
While this Sportline Solo 910 works like a standard sports watch, it
includes an advanced heart rate sensing technology - S-Pulse™ - that
provides easy and accurate contact heart rate readings.
S-Pulse™ is a patented heart rate sensing technology that measures
the electrical signals on your skin – in the same manner that an EKG or
electrocardiogram does.
While the Heart Rate Watch attaches to your wrist like other watch
products, it does not measure or sense your pulse at your wrist. It
instead uses S-Pulse™ technology to sense your heart rate by
measuring your EKG signal.
How to Measure Your Heart Rate
To get your heart rate reading, just follow these
simple steps:
1. Place the Sportline Solo 910 Heart Rate Watch on
your wrist, adjusting for a snug, comfortable fit.
2. Place your fingers on the Sportline Solo 910 Heart
Rate Watch’s sensor, as shown, and press gently for 3-8 seconds.
Be sure to activate the Heart Rate mode by pressing the bottom
metal sensor so that the display flashes. It is best to use the flat
‘pads’ of your fingers, and not the fingertips.
3. A ‘beep’ will sound and your heart rate will be displayed.
It’s that easy!
Because the Sportline Solo 910 Heart Rate Watch is a sensitive
monitoring device that reads your EKG signals, reading times will vary.
If you don’t get a reading in 3-8 seconds, wait a couple of minutes and
try again. This gives the Sportline Solo 910 Heart Rate Watch a chance
to settle in and pick up your electrical signals.
Your heart rate will remain displayed once measured,
and will remain displayed for 7 seconds after you release
the sensor button.
• The Sportline Solo 910 Heart Rate Watch must be attached
to your wrist in order for the Heart Rate Measure function
to work.
• Proper finger pad contact is very important and affects the heart rate
reading time.
• For those users with dry skin, thick or calloused fingers, low heart rate
signal strength (EKG strength), minimal padding on your fingers, or
users located in dry environments, please see our Helpful Hints section.
• The Heart Rate Measure function is not intended for use or operation in
or under water.
How to Calculate Your Maximum Heart Rate
• Deduct your age from 220 (220 - your age = your maximum
heart rate)
• Example of Relative Heart Rate
- Tom is 30 years old
- His heart rate measured at 132
- Maximum heart rate is 220 - 30 = 190 bpm
- 132/190 = 70% Relative Heart Rate

Helpful Hints in Measuring Heart Rate
If you are having difficulty measuring your heart rate, you may want to
try the following steps. Try each of these in order until you
successfully measure your heart rate:
1. Make sure the Sportline Solo 910 Heart Rate Watch is snugly
strapped to your wrist. A loose fit makes it more difficult to properly
measure your heart rate. Stop if OK or
2. Press gently with enough pressure to activate the heart rate
measure mode. Muscle ‘noise’ from pressing too hard can make it
difficult to measure your heart rate. Stop if OK or
3. Make sure that the metal back of the Heart Rate Watch is laying flat
on your skin. Stop if OK or
4. Make sure your wrist and fingers are clean and free from dirt, oils, or
lotions. Stop if OK or
5. Stay still, and relax your arms on a stable surface while taking your
heart rate. Stop if OK or
6. Clean the front sensors and back metal plate with a mild soap and
water or similar cleaning solution. Stop if OK or
7. Moisten with water the pads of the fingers that you are using to
contact the sensors on the face of the watch.
Stop if OK or
8. Moisten with water the surface between the back metal plate of the
watch and the skin on your wrist.

How the Watch Works
It is useful to understand the basics of how the S-Pulse™ sensing
technology – as it will perform differently on people of different age,
skin type, body type, EKG or electro-cardiogram signal strength, among
others.
The S-Pulse™ technology measures the electronic signals that pass
through your body – that result from the beating of your heart. Many
are familiar with the EKG waveform – from either personal experiences
while at the hospital, or from popular television medical shows. It is this
same signal that passes through your body. This measurement is
obtained by the Watch’s three metal sensors. The back metal plate of
the Watch wrist is actually a primary sensor that measures these
electronic signals off your arm.
The ‘EKG’ measurement is done when you place your fingers from one
hand on the top sensor on the Watch that is attached to your opposite
arm. This creates a loop across your body that the Watch can now read.
• The Sportline Solo 910 Heart Rate Watch must be attached to your wrist
in order for the Heart Rate Measure function to work.
