• This is not a medical device and is not recommended for use by per-
sons with serious heart conditions.
• Interference with the radio signal, poor contact between your skin
and the chest strap, and other factors may prevent accurate transmis-
sion of heart rate data.
Resolving HRM Errors and Error Messages
I’m having trouble getting a first reading OR the heart rate numbers appear
to be incorrect during operation.
• LIBERALLY reapply moisture to the textured contact pads on the back of
the transmitter.
• Tighten the chest belt until it fits snugly and is making good contact with
the skin. It is important that the monitor is secure against your skin.
• Move away from other Timex Fitness Monitors or any other sources of
radio signals and static electricity, such as exercise equipment or other
electrical machinery.
• Press HEART RATE after waiting a couple of minutes.
Sometimes I see dashes on the display, bracketing my heart rate, OR the
heart rate displayed remains unchanged for an extended period of time.
What does this mean?
• This is usually an indicator that the sensor pads need moisture, or that
the chest unit is not snug on your chest causing poor electrical contact
with your skin. Moisten the sensor pads and adjust the transmitter so that
both pads are making good contact with your chest.
3. START THE HEART RATE MONITOR: Stand at least six feet away from
any other users of the Timex Fitness Systems and with the watch in
TIME OF DAY, CHRONO or TIMER modes, press HEART RATE to view
your heart rate. The heart symbol will appear in the upper right of the
display. When the watch begins receiving the signal from the transmit-
ter, the outline heart will become solid and begin flashing. (Whenever
you enter CHRONO or TIMER mode the watch will automatically look
for a transmitter signal for 15 seconds. If no signal is found, the watch
will stop looking for a signal until the HEART RATE button is pressed
again.)
4. READ YOUR HEART RATE: When the watch establishes contact with the
transmitter, your heart rate (pulse in beats per minute) will be displayed
in the upper line.
Operational Notes
• Press and hold HEART RATE to turn the Fitness Monitor off.
• The flashing heart will show an arrow under it, pointing downward,
when your heart rate is below the low target rate; no arrows while you
are within the target rate; and an arrow above the heart, pointing up, if
you are above your target range.
• When using the HRM in CHRONO or TIMER mode, the heart rate will be
displayed in the upper display and the Chrono or Timer count in the lower
display. A push of the HEART RATE button will flip the values so that the
pulse rate will be the larger display and the count will be smaller.
• You can turn the alarm sound on or off by pressing MODE to reach the
TARGET mode and then START/STOP to change the setting.
