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.

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.
