INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Sportline Personal Fitness Monitor. Please keep in mind; your watch is a sensitive technical instrument. With proper care and maintenance, it will last for many years. However, improper care and handling can cause the various sensors to be damaged and to stop functioning.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Sportline Personal Fitness Monitors have many unique features and functions. Please read all sections of this manual carefully and become fully familiar with the operation of the watch before using it in the field.

Proper setup and operation will greatly enhance the watches usefulness and your enjoyment.

The manual is divided into sections outlining each of the major functions of the watch. A drawing of the watch screen that represents the starting point or other important screens for each operational process are shown adjacent to the instructions for the process; important keys are shown indicating

PRESS & HOLD and PRESS.

The steps for the programming or operation are adjacent to the screen illustration. Key points and important information are shown in highlighted blocks.

ACTIVATING THE WATCH FROM POWER DOWN MODE

PLEASE NOTE: Your watch was originally shipped in Power Down Mode to conserve battery life.

To deactivate Power Down mode: PRESS & HOLD ANY KEY for 5 seconds (see page 8 for more information on Power Down mode).

WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

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.

The purpose of the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol is to remind us that most electrical products, and batteries, contain trace elements (including Mercury – Hg, Cadmium – Cd and Lead – Pb) which could be harmful to our environment and therefore our health. We must all be careful to dispose of them responsibly in a specifically designated way – either using a collection scheme or into the correctly labelled civic amenity (NOT into general waste) – this will help your local authority to arrange to recycle or dispose of them in the appropriate manner.

SOLO 915

TROUBLE SHOOTING

POTENTIAL CAUSES FOR NO HEART RATE READING OR LONG RESPONSE TIME:

CAUSE: DRY SKIN

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.

CAUSE: HAIRY SKIN

SOLUTION: Apply conductive gel to wrist.

CAUSE: LOW BATTERY

SOLUTION: Replace the battery in watch.
