PLACING THE CHEST STRAP
The chest strap functions as a receiver and a transmitter. At the surface of your skin
it measures the differences in potential created by your heart beat. It then sends
this information to the watch by radio signal. Measurement quality and accuracy
depend on it being correctly positioned, as does comfort during exercise. As the
diagram below shows, the receivers are the black rubber surfaces on both sides
of the central section.
Measurement pads
Placing procedure :
1. Moisten the pads with water or a
conductive liquid gel to ensure good
contact.
2. Insert one of the ends of the elastic
into one of the specially designed
holes in the strap.
3. Join the strap around your chest and
position it just below your pectoral
muscles. Place one of the pads below
your heart and the other under your
right pectoral muscle.
4. Adjust the length of the strap for a
firm but comfortable hold. The strap
should not move if you jump or move
your arms.
5. Check it is positioned correctly by
holding the watch 50cm away.
The heart symbol should flash on the
display.
If it does not flash correctly:
• Reduce the distance between the strap and the watch.
• Adjust the strap position while moistening the pads well.
• Check the batteries, especially in the strap.
Important :
• Avoid positioning the pads on very hairy areas.
• In cold and dry climates, the strap may need several minutes to work correctly.
The pads need a layer of sweat to ensure contact with the skin.
• When it begins taking measurements, the watch may show very high values for
around 20 seconds. This is the algorithm beginning. After this time the display
will stabilise and show correct values.
• Be careful to insert the elastic strap clip into the hole in the strap designed for this
purpose. Maintain the lock pin by passing your finger behind the strap.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
The heart rate monitor has six different modes :
TIME mode : displays the time and date.
HRM mode : displays heart rate on the top line. Displays the exercise stopwatch,
exercise intensity in %, time in the target zone, calories expended, and average
and maximum rate on the middle line. Displays the heart symbol and out of target
zone arrows. Displays recovery time necessary after exercise.
DATA mode : displays data saved during each session: exercise time, exercise
intensity, time in the target zone, calories expended, average and maximum rate,
time out of the target zone and the time needed to reach recovery rate.
STOPWATCH mode : displays exercise time and lap time.
TIMER mode : displays the countdown and heart rate.
ALARM mode : displays the time set for the alarm and whether or not the alarms
are activated (ON or OFF).
To change modes, press S2. The mode name (TIME, HRM, etc) is displayed on the
screen for two seconds before the home screen of the function appears.
