SYNCHRONISE EXERCISE PROFILE FROM PC
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
You can synchronise exercise profiles from the PC
application software to your watch with customised setting.
There are 9 exercise profiles available in the software.
For more details, refer to “SYNCHRONISE EXERCISE
PROFILE TO WATCH” in this manual.
NOTE If no exercise profile is synchronised from the
software to the watch, the watch will display its default
exercise profiles.
WEARING CHEST BELT
1. Wet the conductive pads on the underside of the chest
belt with a few drops of water or a conductive gel to
ensure solid contact.
conductive pads
2. Strap the chest belt across your chest. To ensure an
accurate heart rate signal, adjust the strap until the belt
sits snugly below your pectoral muscles.
TIPS
• The position of the chest belt affects its performance.
Move the chest belt along the strap so that it falls above
your heart.
• Avoid areas with dense chest hair.
• In dry, cold climates, it may take several minutes for the
chest belt to function steadily. This is normal and should
improve with several minutes of exercise.
PAIRING DEVICE
IMPORTANT To ensure accurate calculations with your
exercise, you should pair the watch with SZ909 chest belt.
This chest belt allows pairing of both heart rate and foot pod
functions.
![](/img.php?id=1211439&img=bg9.png)
EN
9
The watch can also pair with other chest belts and devices
such as foot pod and bike pod that use the ANT Sports
System. However, other chest belts can only allow pairing
of heart rate function.
1. Press MODE repeatedly to select . The watch
will show how many and which devices are paired
(if any). If no device is paired, the watch will show “0
DEVICE PAIRED”.
2. Press SET to enter “PAIR DEVICE”. Press SET to start
pairing.
PAIR WITH SZ909 CHEST BELT (OR OTHER
ANT-SYSTEM CHEST BELTS)
You have 2 ways to pair the watch with chest belt.
• One way is to strap the belt across your chest, and wait
until the watch displays
and
(only with SZ909)
• The other way is as follows:
i. Hold the chest belt firmly with your thumbs touching
the conductive pads that normally contact your
chest.
ii. Rub your thumbs back and forth across the
conductive pads a few times until the watch displays
the screens above.
NOTE Only with SZ909 chest belt can you pair both HR belt
and foot pod. If you pair with other ANT-system chest belt,
only HR belt can be found.
NOTE For SZ909 chest belt, pairing is only considered
successful when both HR belt and foot pod are found.
PAIR WITH ANT-SYSTEM FOOT POD / BIKE POD
You can purchase foot pod or bike pod separately to pair
with your watch, as long as they use the ANT system. For
information on pairing, refer to their User Guides.
• When the foot pod is paired successfully, the watch will
display
![](/img.php?id=1211439&img=bga.png)
EN
10
• When the bike pod is paired successfully, the watch will
display
NOTE If pairing is weak and unstable:
• Shorten the distance between the device and watch.
• Re-adjust the position of the device.
• Check the batteries. Replace them when necessary.
NOTE If the watch is already paired with SZ909 chest belt,
and you want to pair with another chest belt, you have to
first remove the SZ909 chest belt before you are able to pair
with another chest belt. This principle also applies to bike
pod and foot pod.
INPUT BIKE WHEEL SIZE (FOR BIKE POD)
The watch will not show “WHEEL SIZE” if no bike pod is
paired. For details of bike wheel size, refer to “BIKE WHEEL
SIZE” section in this manual.
If your watch is paired with bike pod, you will be asked to
input the wheel size values.
1. Press MODE repeatedly to select .
2. Press SET.
3. Press ST/LAP/+ repeatedly to select “WHEEL SIZE”.
4. Press SET.
5. Input the bike wheel size by pressing ST/LAP/+ to
increase values or -/SP to decrease values.
6. Press SET to confirm.
REMOVE PAIRED DEVICE
The watch will not show “DEVICE REMOVE” if no device
is paired.
1. Press MODE repeatedly to select .
2. Press SET.
3. Press ST/LAP/+ repeatedly to select “DEVICE
REMOVE”.
4. Press SET.
5. Press ST/LAP/+ to select which device to delete.
6. Press SET to confirm selection.
CALIBRATING PAIRED DEVICE
The watch will not show “CAL DEVICE” if no device is
paired.
You can calibrate by running, walking or inputting parameter.
The parameter is the same value after you have successfully
![](/img.php?id=1211439&img=bgb.png)
EN
11
calibrated by running or walking.
If you want to calibrate the device immediately after pairing,
go directly to step 4. Otherwise, start from the beginning.
CALIBRATE BY RUNNING OR WALKING
1. Press MODE repeatedly to select .
2. Press SET.
3. Press ST/LAP/+ repeatedly to select “CAL DEVICE”.
4. Press SET.

WALK”.
6. Press SET to confirm selection.
7. The watch will conduct a device search first, as
indicated by flashing and . Wait until stops
flashing, then press SET to start calibration.
8. Ensure to complete walking or running the selected
distance for calibration.
Ø If calibration is successful, the watch will display
Run parameter
or
Walk parameter
NOTE The Run parameter and Walk parameter is the
value to enter when calibrating by inputting parameter.
Ø If calibration fails, the watch will display
NOTE The SZ909 chest belt should be calibrated both
by running and walking.
CALIBRATE BY INPUTTING PARAMETER
You can only know your parameter if you have already
successfully calibrated by running or walking beforehand.
This is because the parameter is the same value displayed
after you have successfully calibrated by running or walking.
By inputting parameter, you will be spared the time of
calibrating by running or walking again.
1. Press MODE repeatedly to select .
2. Press SET.
3. Press ST/LAP/+ repeatedly to select “CAL DEVICE”.
4. Press SET.
5. Press ST/LAP/+ to select “PARA INPUT”.

6. Press SET to confirm selection.
7. Input parameter for Walk by pressing ST/LAP/+ to
increase values or - / SP to decrease values. The
parameter is the same value after you have successfully
calibrated by walking.
8. Press SET to confirm.
9. Input parameter for Run by pressing ST/LAP/+ to
increase values or - / SP to decrease values. The
parameter is the same value after you have successfully
calibrated by running.
10. Press SET to confirm.

USEFUL REFERENCE
TARGET ZONE
To help achieve maximum health benefits from your workout
programme, it is important to know your:
• Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
• Upper heart rate limit
• Lower heart rate limit
MHR is expressed in beats per minute. You can get your
MHR from an MHR test, or you can estimate it by using the
following formula:
220 - age = MHR
The watch is pre-programmed with 5 target zone options,
each with its lower and upper heart rate limit, as listed in
the table below.
Lower Limit Upper Limit
Zone 1 50% x MHR 60% x MHR
Zone 2 60% x MHR 70% x MHR
Zone 3 70% x MHR 80% x MHR
Zone 4 80% x MHR 90% x MHR
Zone 5 90% x MHR 100% x MHR
The most popular zone range is from 50% to 80% of
your Maximum Heart Rate. This is where you achieve
cardiovascular benefits, burn fat and become fitter.

There are three categories of training as described in the
table below.
TRAINING
CATEGORY MHR% DESCRIPTION
Health
Maintenance 65-78%
This is the lowest training
intensity level. It is good for
beginners and those who want to
strengthen their cardiovascular
systems.
Aerobic
Exercise 65-85%
Increases strength and
endurance. It works within the
body’s oxygen intake capability,
burns more calories and can
be maintained for a long period
of time.
Anaerobic
Exercise 78-90%
Generates speed and power.
It works at or above the body’s
oxygen intake capability,
builds muscle and cannot be
maintained for a long period
of time.
The upper and lower heart rate limits are calculated by
multiplying your MHR by the percentages of the selected
training category.
For example:
A 40-year-old training for basic health maintenance:
• His upper heart rate limit [220 - 40(age)] x 78%
• His lower heart rate limit [220 - 40(age)] x 65%
IMPORTANT Always warm up before exercise and select
the training category that best suits your physique. Exercise
regularly, 20 to 30 minutes per session, three to four times a
week for a healthier cardiovascular system.
WARNING Determining your individual training category is
a critical step in the process towards an efficient and safe
training programme. Please consult your doctor or health
professional to help you determine exercise frequency and
duration appropriate for your age, condition and specific
goals.
