• 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:
