Setting Your Personal Information
In order to use your pedometer properly and ensure
accurate data, you must first set your personal information.
1. In Heart Rate Target Zone/Personal Info mode, hold
Mode for 3 seconds until the display flashes.
2. Press Mode to advance thru settings:
- Target Zone Upper Limit (Hi)

( Calculate your average stride length when you walk so
the watch can accurately determine the distance and
speed traveled. To calculate your average stride length,
walk ten steps. Then measure the distance traveled (in or
cm) and divide it by ten. This is your average walking
stride length.

How to Measure Your Heart Rate
To get your heart rate reading, follow these three simple
steps:
1. Strap the watch snugly around your wrist.
2. Place your finger on the watch’s sensor (Heart
Rate Sensor Button) and press gently for 3-8
seconds.
3. Once detected, a beep tone sounds and your
heart rate will be displayed in beats per minute
(bpm). It’s that easy!
6
The Pedometer/Heart Rate Watch is a sensitive monitoring
device that reads your heart rate signals and reading times
may vary. If you don’t get a reading in 3-8 seconds, wait a
couple of minutes and try again. This gives the watch a
chance to settle in and pick up your electrical signals.
Your heart rate will be displayed once measured, and will
remain displayed for 6 seconds after you release the
Heart Rate Sensor Button. You can receive a continu-
ous heart rate reading if you continue to hold down the
Heart Rate Sensor Button after your initial reading.
(The watch buttons and heart rate function are not
intended for use in or under water.
About Relative Heart Rate
Relative Heart Rate is your current heart rate divided by
your maximum heart rate, and can be a useful reference to
manage how hard you are working during your exercise.
• Maximum Heart Rate is calculated as: 220 minus your
age (220 – your age).
• Your Relative Heart Rate will be displayed as a
percentage when displaying your heart rate.
7
(Example of Relative Heart Rate:
Tom is 30 years old.
Maximum Heart Rate: 220 – age 30 = 190 bpm.
His current heart rate measured at: 133 bpm.
133/190 = 70% is Tom’s Relative Heart Rate.
About the Heart Rate Target Zone and Alert
The Heart Rate Target Zone feature helps you compare
your acquired heart rate with your targeted heart rate
zone.
• If your heart rate is within the target zone, the
watch will beep once and display your heart rate.
• If your heart rate is lower than your target zone
lower limit, the watch will beep twice and your heart
rate will be displayed with an “L” (L = Low).
• If your heart rate is higher than your target zone
upper limit, the watch will beep twice and your heart
rate will be displayed with an “H” (H = High).
(Example: Debbie’s target zone is 80 bpm - 120 bpm.
After 5 minutes of walking, Debbie measures her heart
rate.
If Debbie’s heart rate is “L 72”, she can decide to pick up
her pace so her next reading falls within her target zone.
8
Setting the Standard Heart Rate Target Zone
By entering your age and gender, the watch will
automatically calculate your standard heart rate range.
1. In Heart Rate Target Zone/Personal Info mode,
hold Mode for 3 seconds until the display
flashes.
2. Press Mode to advance thru settings:
- Age
- Gender (male/female)
3. Edit these settings by using Start/Stop or
Reset.
4. To save the new settings, hole Mode for 3
seconds.
Setting the Heart Rate Target Zone Manually
You can manually override the standard heart rate settings
to those of your own preference.
1. In Heart Rate Target Zone/Personal Info mode,
hold Mode for 3 seconds until the display
flashes.
2. Press Mode to advance thru settings:
- Target Zone Upper Limit (Hi)
- Target Zone Lower Limit (Lo)
3. Edit these settings by using Start/Stop or
Reset.
4. To save the new settings, hold Mode for 3
seconds.
9
Setting the Heart Rate Alert Feature ON/OFF
While in Heart Rate Target Zone/Personal Info mode, press
Start/Stop to toggle the Heart Rate Alert function ON or
OFF.
(When OFF, your upper and lower limits will be
‘hidden’ and your Heart Rate Alert function will be
disabled.
(When ON, your upper and lower limits will appear
in the display and your Heart Rate Alert function will
be enabled.
Setting Resting Heart Rate
The Resting Heart Rate feature can be used as a
reference to inform you of your progress. The lower your
resting heart rate becomes, the healthier you become.
1. In Resting Heart Rate mode, hold the Heart Rate
Sensor Button for 3-8 seconds until your heart
rate is acquired.
2. A beep tone sounds and your resting heart rate
will be displayed and recorded.
( It is recommended to obtain your resting heart rate
when waking up from sleep. This will ensure the most
accurate reading for a resting heart rate.

Helpful Hints in Measuring Heart Rate
If you are having difficulty measuring your heart rate, you
may want to try the following steps. Try each of these in
succession until you are able to measure your heart rate:
1. Make sure the watch is snugly strapped to your wrist.
A loose fit makes it more difficult to properly measure
your heart rate. Stop if OK or
2. When pressing on the sensor, make sure you are using
the soft, flat pad of your finger, not the tip of your
finger. OK or
3. Press gently with enough pressure to activate the
heart rate measure mode. Muscle ‘noise’ from
pressing too hard can make it difficult to measure your
heart rate. OK or
4. Make sure the metal back of the watch is laying flat on
your skin. OK or
5. Make sure your wrist and fingers are clean and free
from dirt, oils, or lotions. OK or
6
Stay still, and relax your arms on a stable surface while
taking your heart rate. OK or
7. Clean the front sensor and back metal plate with a mild
soap and water or similar cleaning solution. OK or
8. Moisten, with water, the pad of the finger you are using
to contact the sensor on the face of the watch. OK
or
9. Moisten, with water, the surface between the back
metal plate of the watch and the skin on your wrist.

How this Pedometer/Heart Rate Watch Works
The S-Pulse™ technology measures the electronic signals
that pass through your body as a result from the beating of
your heart. This measurement is obtained by the watch’s
two sensors. The back metal plate of the watch is actually
the primary sensor that measures these electronic signals
off your arm.
17
The heart rate measurement is done when you place your
finger from one hand on the sensor button on the watch
attached to your opposite arm. This creates a loop across
your body the watch can now read.
The digital pedometer is powered by a motion-sensing
accelerometer, considered the most accurate and reliable
way to track your steps.
