How to Use Your CARDIO Heart Rate Monitor
1. Press the pulse/clock control button to switch the mode from clock to pulse meter.
2.When the heart icon appears, place your fingertip lightly on the
surface of the pulse sensor pad. The pad is very sensitive and will not read accurately if you move your finger or apply too much pressure. The heart icon will blink while the sensor is reading your pulse.
3. After a few seconds, the heart icon will blink and your heart rate will appear on the display. Be sure to keep your finger on the pad until a reading shows.
If an “E” appears, there was an error during measurement.
Repeat steps 1-3.
4.To set the time, push the pulse control button to access the clock mode. Using a pin, push the hour and minute buttons on the back of CARDIO to set the correct time of day.
To Assure an Accurate Reading:
•Place your finger gently on the sensor
•Make sure your hands are not cold or dirty. Washing hands before using CARDIO helps assure accuracy.
•When determining your resting heart rate, take a few readings and then calculate the average. Time of day, temperature, recent meals, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, and your state of mind can affect your heart rate.
