Putting on the heart rate monitor
You can wear your heart rate monitor like a wrist watch. If you would
like to use the HR monitor when riding a bike, fix the monitor to the
handlebars. This improves the signal transmission greatly. Use the
assembly bracket supplied and fix the HR monitor firmly on to the
handlebars so that the monitor does not slip when riding the bike.
Initial activation of the heart rate monitor
You can activate your heart rate monitor from the transport mode by
pressing any button for 5 seconds.
Activating the heart rate monitor from power saving mode
If the heart rate monitor has not received any signal for approx. five
minutes, it switches to the power saving mode. At that point, only the
current time and the date will be displayed. Press any button in order
to reactivate the watch.
Putting on the chest strap
Tighten the chest strap with the elastic tension belt.
Adjust the length of the belt such that the belt is
snug, but neither too loose nor too tight. Position
the belt around the chest such that the logo is fac-
ing outwards and in the correct position directly
over the breast bone. For men, the chest belt
should be located directly below the pectoral mus-
cles, for women, directly below the breast.
Since optimal contact between the skin and the heart rate sensors
can not be created immediately, it may take some time until the
heart rate is measured and displayed. If necessary, alter the posi-
tion of the transmitter in order to achieve optimal contact. Most of
the time, sufficient contact is achieved through the accumulation
