WARNING: Before starting any exercise program or performing any vigorous physical activity, we

strongly suggest you visit your doctor for a complete physical and to discuss your plans. CAUTION: Your watch is designed to be water resistant to a static pressure of 5 ATM and can be worn while showering and light swimming. However, we recommend that extensive use of the unit in the water be avoided whenever possible. Care should be taken not to press any keys while the unit is submerged as this can force moisture past the key seals and damage the unit. CAUTION: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme conditions for a prolonged period of time. CAUTION: Avoid rough usage or severe impacts to your watch. DO NOT use hand cream as it will insulate the signal between the skin and sensor contacts. DO NOT use the fingertips where the skin is dry and thick. For those with extremely dry skin, moisten fingers and wrist with tap water or a conductive gel. CLEAN the Back Cover occasionally by using a damp cloth. Then wipe dry to remove any residual grease. CLEAN your skin and fingers with soap and water for a better signal transmission. AVOID doing awkward motions during measurement. It may create inaccurate heart rate readings.

1. The display fades in part or completely

2. The heart rate function will not activate

3. Backlight System does not operate

4. The Low Battery icon is visible

To replace the battery of your Sportline Solo 915, we recommend you take it to a watch repair service center or certified jeweler. This will ensure that the water resistance will be retained after battery replacement. SP4964IS03SPO.indd 17SP4964IS03SPO.indd 17 7/28/10 3:42 PM7/28/10 3:42 PM18 SOLO 915

SP4964IS03SPO.indd 18SP4964IS03SPO.indd 18 7/28/10 3:42 PM7/28/10 3:42 PM19 TROUBLE SHOOTING POTENTIAL CAUSES FOR NO HEART RATE READING OR LONG RESPONSE TIME:

SOLUTION: Apply conductive gel thoroughly finger. Tap water may help if conductive gel is not available. CAUSE: MUSCLE TREMORS CAUSED BY PRESSING ON SENSORS TOO HARD SOLUTION: Decrease finger pressure on the Sensor Pads. CAUSE: DEAD SKIN ON WRIST OR FINGER. SOLUTION: Rub off excessive dead skin with a towel CAUSE: A THIN LAYER OF BODY GREASE INSULATES THE ECG SIGNAL PREVENTING THE WATCH FROM

DETECTING ECG HEART RATE

SOLUTION: Wipe wrist and the back of watch with a tissue or soft towel.

SOLUTION: Apply conductive gel to wrist.
