4.The signal is jammed - the heart rate reading on your watch is flashing:

There is too much interference in the environment for your heart rate monitor to function. Move to an area where the heart rate reading stops flashing.

WARNING Signal interference in the environment can be caused by electromagnetic disturbances. These 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 exercise equipment, cellular phones or when you walk through electric security gates. Under interference, the heart rate reading may become unstable and inaccurate.

SIGNAL SEARCH

To force a signal search:

1.Press MODE to navigate to the SMART TRAINING PROGRAM or Stopwatch Mode.

2.Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds. The signal- searching icon with the outside flashing will appear to confirm a signal search is taking place. Whenever the watch is searching for the chest belt signal make sure that the chest belt is no further than 10 cm (4 inches) from the watch.

The signal search will take approximately 10 seconds. If after 10 seconds the heart icon is not flashing, then your signal search has been unsuccessful and you need to force another signal search.
