Troubleshooting

If you don't know where you are in the menu, press and

hold BACK until the time is displayed.

If there are no reactions to any buttons or the wrist unit

displays unusual readings, reset the wrist unit by pressing four buttons (UP, DOWN, BACK and LIGHT) simultaneously for four seconds. All other settings except time and date will be saved.

If the heart rate reading becomes erratic, extremely high

or shows nil (00), make sure that there are no other heart rate transmitters within 1 m/3 ft and that the transmitter strap/the textile electrodes fit snugly and are moistened, clean and undamaged.

If the heart rate measurement does not work with the sports apparel, try using the strap. If it works, the problem is most probably in the apparel. Please contact the apparel retailer/manufacturer.

E N G L I S H

Strong electromagnetic signals can cause erratic readings. Electromagnetic disturbances may occur near high-voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines of electric railways, electric bus lines or trams, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some motor driven training equipment, cellular phones, or at electric security gates. To avoid erratic readings, move away from possible sources of disturbance.

If the abnormal reading continues despite moving away from the source of disturbance, slow down and check your pulse manually. If you feel it corresponds to the high reading on the display, you may be experiencing cardiac arrhythmia. Most cases of arrhythmia are not serious, but consult your doctor nevertheless.

A cardiac event may have altered your ECG waveform. In this case, consult your physician.

If heart rate measurement does not work despite the actions mentioned previously, the battery of your transmitter may be empty.
