To View Date Information from Time of Day:

- Press (SET/TIME) to peek at the Date display for 2 seconds.

The top-mounted pusher (ON/OFF) has the following functions:

• Turn on the Heart Rate Monitor.
- Peek at the Activity Time during workout.
• Turn off the Heart Rate Monitor.
- Review the Total Activity Time and Heart Rate Data (Average, Peak) after workout.

How To Use The Timex® Personal Heart Rate Monitor

1. WET THE CHEST SENSOR PADS:

Moisture MUST be applied to the sensor pads before using the Heart Rate Monitor.

2. PUT THE CHEST SENSOR ON:

Fasten the sensor snugly around your chest, just below the breasts and against your skin. Be sure the sensor is centered on the chest and is right side up so the "Timex" logo can be read by someone facing you.

3. START THE HEART RATE MONITOR:

With the chest sensor on and snug, press the top-mounted pusher (ON/OFF) located on the top of the wrist monitor. The display will switch from the time

display, “---” will appear and the {♥} will fill and flash to indicate that the watch is receiving your Heart Rate data. Your Heart Rate will appear once a good, consistent signal has been received from your chest transmitter sensor. The Activity Timer {♥} indicator will also flash to show that the elapsed time is being tracked in the background.

Effective Range

The watch needs to be within 3 ft. (1 meter) of the sensor to function properly. If it does not function properly try the following:

• Shorten the distance between the chest sensor and wrist monitor.
  • Re-adjust the position of the chest sensor.
  • Make sure sensor pads are wet.
• Check the batteries in the chest strap. Replace them when necessary.
• Move away from other users of Heart Rate Monitors.
• Move away from sources of electrical interference.

NOTE:

• This is not a medical device and is not recommended for use by persons with serious heart conditions.
• Interference with the radio signal, poor contact between your skin and the chest strap, and other factors may prevent accurate transmission of Heart Rate data.

• While we provide some guidance here, you should always consult your physician before beginning or modifying an exercise program.

• READ YOUR HEART RATE AND ACTIVITY TIMER: Your Heart Rate will continue to be updated every few seconds and the Activity Timer will continue to accumulate the elapsed time that you have been exercising. To view your Activity Timer, press ON/OFF, and the running elapsed time will appear. The

Activity Timer will run for as long as the wrist monitor is "on" and receiving good signals from the chest sensor for a maximum time of 48 hours.

NOTE: To view the current time of day, press SET/TIME to peek at the time and then return to the Heart Rate display.

1. END YOUR WORKOUT: Once your exercise is done, press and hold ON/OFF to turn off the watch, and the text "HOLD TURN OFF" will appear on the display one word at a time. The watch display will now read the Time of Day.

NOTE: You can also end your workout by removing the chest strap sensor, but your workout data will be affected by the information gathered while the watch searches for the Heart Rate sensor's signal and eventually turns off the watch.

1. REVIEW YOUR WORKOUT DATA: Your Heart Rate Monitor can provide you with information gathered during your exercise session. Press and hold ON/OFF again, and the text "HOLD FOR INFO" will appear on the display one word at a time. The following data will appear automatically on the wrist monitor display:

2. Total Activity Time in Minutes. Seconds or Hours: Minutes format (ACTIVITY flag lit).
   • Average Heart Rate for your exercise session (AVG flag lit).

3. Peak Heart Rate for your exercise session (PEAK flag lit).

NOTE: To make the information appear faster than every 2 seconds, press ON/OFF. To review your workout data again, simply repeat Step 6.

Maintenance

The chest sensor and its elastic strap should be rinsed in fresh water to avoid the buildup of materials that can interfere with the measurement of your Heart Rate. The watch monitor does not need to be rinsed.

1. Do not clean the chest sensor with abrasive or corrosive materials. Abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the plastic parts and corrode the electronic circuit.
2. Do not subject the sensor to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature, or humidity. Such treatment may result in malfunction, a shorter electronic life span, damaged batteries, or distorted parts.
3. Do not tamper with the sensor's internal components. Doing so will terminate the sensor's warranty and may cause damage. The sensor contains no user-serviceable parts.

INDIGLO® night-light

Press INDIGLO® button to activate light. Electroluminescent technology illuminates the watch display at night and in low light conditions.

Battery Information

This product uses a CR2032 lithium battery for the sensor and a CR2025 lithium battery for the watch.

When the battery of the watch is running low, the display will dim.

If the Heart Rate readings become erratic or stop, your chest sensor battery may need replacing. You can do this by yourself very easily without any special tools.

TO CHANGE THE CHEST SENSOR BATTERY:

1. Open the sensor battery lid with a coin by turning counterclockwise.
2. Insert one CR2032, 3V lithium battery with writing facing you.
   NOTE: Take care not to touch the two contacts, otherwise the battery can discharge.
3. Replace lid.
   If you are unsure about the procedure consult your dealer.
   A quick test of the unit should be performed after changing the battery:
4. Move away from any possible sources of electrical or radio interference.
5. Liberally moisten the sensor pads and put the sensor on your chest, securely against your skin.
6. In Time of Day mode press ON/OFF
7. The display will switch from the time display, “---” will appear and the {♥} will fill and flash to indicate that the wrist monitor is receiving your Heart Rate. This indicates that the battery was installed correctly.

NOTE: It is not necessary for a heart rate value to appear on the display during this test.

IF YOU DO NOT SEE A FLASHING HEART ON THE WATCH, reinstall the battery.

Watch Battery Replacement

To avoid the possibility of permanently damaging the watch, TIMEX STRONGLY RECOMMENDS TAKING YOUR MONITOR TO A LOCAL RETAILER OR JEWELER TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED.
