being measured.

GUIDELINES FOR MEASURING HEART RATE:

  • Do not measure heart rate under water.
  • Always press the sensor, button E (Heart Rate), directly with the finger. The finger should press button E (Heart Rate) with the watch worn tightly around the wrist.
  • If your fingers are very cold this might affect the time it takes to take your heart rate measurement.
  • If you have very dry skin, moisten the fingertip and the skin on the wrist with some water.
  • Use of hand creams and lotions can affect the heart rate measurement.
  • Clean the back of the watch from time to time with a few drops of water and wipe it dry with a cloth to remove any grease or oils.
  • If the message “do not move” is displayed, try to slow down your body movement in order to take a more accurate heart rate measurement.
  • The heart rate measurement may not work correctly if you have an irregular heartbeat.

Heart rate will be displayed with unit BPM (Beats Per Minute) and at the same time % of Max.
Heart rate is displayed at the bottom right corner.

The maximum pulse is calculated as below:
Example: Age = 50 (Refer to Time Mode section for “Age” setting)
Maximum pulse = 220 – age
Maximum pulse = 220 – 50 = 170
The % of the maximum pulse is calculated as below:
Example: Pulse = 102 % of the maximum pulse = pulse x 100 / maximum pulse % of the maximum pulse = 102 x 100 / 170 = 60 %

HEART RATE ALARM:

Heart rate boundaries can be set in the Run mode setting. There are three levels for selection. You also can manually adjust the lower and upper limits for the heart rate in setting mode. Refer to “Workout Mode” section
