Configuring Personal Information

Before the watch can calculate the energy you consume and your

exercise intensity, you need to configure a number of personal

information settings. When configuring personal information, you can

also turn the target alarm on or off, and specify the units of measurement

to use for energy and body weight.

Personal information settings are configured in the

Personal Data Mode, which you enter by pressing

the D button six times while in the Timekeeping

Mode.

Monitoring Your Heart Rate During

Exercise

This section explains what you need to do to monitor your heart rate

while exercising. This section assumes that you have already configured

your personal information settings.

Getting Ready

Before exercising, you need to attach the chest strap to your chest and

synchronize the signal between the sensor bar and watch.

Certain types of heart rate monitors can cause interference with the

signal sent by the sensor bar to your watch. If you suspect that you are

getting interference, move away from the other heart rate monitor.

To attach the chest strap to your chest

1. Slightly moisten the two sensor pads

(diamond pattern areas) on the inside

surface of the sensor bar. This will

provide better contact for the sensor

pads.

2. Insert one of the tabs on either end of the strap into one of the holes

in the sensor bar, from the inside of the sensor bar. Secure the tab in

place so it lays down flat as shown in the illustration.

3. Wrap the chest strap around your chest so it is in direct contact with

your skin, and secure the tab at the other end of the strap to the other

hole of the sensor bar. Fasten the strap securely to ensure that it

does not slip down while you are exercising.

4. Make sure that the sensor pads are located above your rib cage.

• Take care that you do not fasten the chest strap too tightly.
