3. START THE HEART RATE MONITOR: Stand at least six feet away from any other users of the Timex Digital Heart Rate Monitor and with the watch in TIME OF DAY, CHRONO or TIMER modes, press HEART RATE to view your heart rate. The heart symbol will appear in the upper right of the display. When the watch begins receiving the signal from the transmitter, the outline heart will become solid and begin flashing.
I’ve noticed that sometimes the heart stops flashing briefly. • As long as the heart is flashing, the watch is receiving a clear signal from the monitor. The communication system used in the Timex Digital Heart Rate Monitor is extremely robust, yet no system is perfect, and occasionally, as in any radio system, there may be interference or some other brief jamming of the signal. If this should occur, the watch will communicate this to you first by suspending the flashing of the heart.
• The watch no longer receives heart rate information from the chest transmitter when properly worn on the chest. • Error messages (COMM ERR, SIGNAL LOST) begin to appear with increased frequency on the display. Turn the unit over and use a coin to open the battery compartment cover. Replace the battery, making sure the “+” is facing you when you insert the new one. Push the reset button next to the battery (a toothpick or straightened paper clip will help you do this) before installing the battery cover.
