WATCH
You can wear the receiver watch on your wrist or strap it to
a bike or exercise machine, as shown below.
TRANSMISSION SIGNAL
The heart rate chest belt and watch have a maximum
transmission range of about 62.5 centimetres (25 inches).
They are equipped with the latest digital coding system to
reduce signal interference from the environment, as well
as analog technology. For more accurate readings use the
digital transmission signal. You should only switch to the
analog transmission signal if the situation in point 2 occurs
(see below). Your watch will advise you which system it
is using and the signal status by displaying the following
icons:
NOTE Whenever the watch is searching for the chest
belt signal (manual or automatic search), make sure that
the chest belt is no further than 10 cm (4 inches) from the
watch.
ICON DESCRIPTION
Outside heart is
flashing
Searching for a signal
Inside heart is
flashing
A signal has been found
and the digital system is
being used
Heart is flashing
A signal has been found
and the analog system is
being used
/ No signal has been found
NOTE To switch from digital to analog or analog to digital
system, press the chest belt button for more than 4 seconds
and then force a signal search.
IMPORTANT If the heart icon does not appear on the
display or is not flashing because no signal has been found,
force a signal search. See “Signal Search” section on how
to do this.
In the event that you experience a weak signal or your signal
is disrupted by interference in the environment, follow the
instructions below to identify and resolve the situation.
1. The signal is weak - the watch heart rate monitor will
only show “0”:
• Shorten the distance between the heart rate chest
belt and watch.
• Re-adjust the position of the heart rate chest
belt.
• Check the conductive pads are moist enough to
ensure solid contact.
