SENSOR
- In Normal Time, Chronograph or Timer mode press button S2 to enter Pulse Rate Monitor mode, “Hr” displayed
in the bracket.
- Place your finger (preferably the index finger) upon the sensor located at the 6 o’clock position of the watch,
do not press strongly, the watch will then response to the signal from the finger and display the current heart
rate (beats per minute) in the upper row of the display, next to the bracket. It may take a few seconds before the
detected Pulse Rate can be shown.
Figure 1
Figure 2
For best results of the Pulse Rate Monitor:
Do not attempt to take a reading while you are moving, walking or running. It is best to
be stationary since your index finger needs to be positioned over the sensor and should
not be moved. You should be standing or seated, not lying flat or prone.
Lay the tip of your index over the sensor so that it is resting. See Figure 1 above. Do
not exert pressure or force your finger down on the sensor. Your index finger is best
since it usually has less fatty tissue. Do not use your thumb or other fingers.
Raise your arm to heart level bending your elbow 90°. Lay your finger tip so it is parallel with the ground. See
Figure 2 above.
Once you have placed your index finger atop the sensor and the Heart icon is flashing, do not move or reposition
your finger since this will cause the sensor to start again and will likely cause an inaccurate calculation.
Remark:
1. The heart symbol flashes when signal is received.
2. Entering the Pulse Rate Monitor mode in Normal Time mode will enable you to use Pulse Rate measurement
together with normal timing. Pulse Rate is displayed in the upper row and normal time is displayed in the lower
row.
3. Entering the Pulse Rate Monitor mode in Chronograph mode will enable you to use Pulse Rate measurement
together with the chronograph. Pulse Rate is displayed in the upper row and chronograph is displayed in the
Lower row.
5
4. Entering the Pulse Rate Monitor mode in Timer mode will enable you to use Pulse Rate measurement together
with the count down timers. Pulse Rate is displayed in the upper row and count down time is displayed in the
lower row.
5. An arrow pointing up or down will be displayed next to the Pulse Rate reading to indicate that the current heart
rate is above the upper limit or below the lower limit of the safety range respectively. And warning sound will
also be given if “Sd” is in “on” state.
6. To exit Pulse Rate Monitor mode, press button S2 or if no signal is received for 2-3 minutes, the watch will
exit automatically.
(J) HOW TO RESET THE WATCH
