• Check the batteries. If they are low or exhausted,
the transmission range may be shortened.
• Force a signal search (see “Signal Search” section).
2. The gym equipment does not seem to work with your
chest belt and the digital icon is displayed:
• Most gym equipment is compatible with the
analog system . Press and hold the chest belt
button for more than 4 seconds to change from
digital to analog. Then force a signal search
(see “Signal Search” section).
3. Interference from another person’s heart rate monitor
- their heart rate readings appear on your watch, or the
heart rate monitor shows “0”:
• Press the chest belt button to get the watch to
receive your chest belt signal. Do not press and
hold the chest belt button, as it will change the
transmission signal from digital to analog.
4. The signal is jammed - the heart rate reading on your
watch is flashing:
• There is too much interference in the
environment for your heart rate monitor to
function. Move to an area where the heart
rate reading stops flashing.
WARNING Signal interference in the environment can be
caused by electromagnetic disturbances. These may occur
near high voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines
of electric railways, electric bus lines or trams, televisions,
car motors, bike computers, some motor driven exercise
equipment, cellular phones or when you walk through
electric security gates. Under interference, the heart rate
reading may become unstable and inaccurate.
SIGNAL SEARCH
To force a signal search:
1. Press MODE to navigate to the SMART TRAINING
PROGRAM or Stopwatch Mode.
2. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds. The signal-
searching icon with the outside flashing will appear to
confirm a signal search is taking place. Whenever the
watch is searching for the chest belt signal make sure
that the chest belt is no further than 10 cm (4 inches)
from the watch.
The signal search will take approximately 10 seconds. If
after 10 seconds the heart icon is not flashing, then your
signal search has been unsuccessful and you need to force
another signal search.
See the table in the “Transmission Signal” section for more
signal status information.
