W226_M597_book.qxd 3/10/06 12:09 PM Page 8 PEDOMETER SYSTEM MEASURING YOUR STRIDE LENGTH In addition to step count, the Pedometer System provides estimations of distance traveled, speed, and calories burned. These calculations require that you know and set your stride length. To measure your stride length: 1) Find an area where you can walk (or jog, or run) 10 steps (or strides) in a straight line. 2) Mark the starting line and place your foot behind that line. 3) Take 10 steps (or strides) and make a line in front of your foot at your last step. 4) Measure distance between two lines (feet or cm). If measuring in feet, round distance to nearest foot. 5) Divide distance by 10. This is your stride length. You can improve the calculation for stride length by using a longer pre-measured distance on a playing field or running track, and counting the number of strides to complete that distance. 1) GOAL - the number of steps you want to take daily • Press START SPLIT to change value of each digit and press MODE to go to the next digits. Press MODE to go to: 2) STRIDE - the length of each step or stride • Stride unit flashes. Press START·SPLIT to change unit (feet - FT or centimeters - CM). • Press MODE. Set each digit of stride length by pressing START·SPLIT to change digit and MODE to go to next digit. Press MODE to go to: 3) WEIGHT - used to calculate calories burned • Weight unit flashes. Press START·SPLIT to change unit (pounds - LB or kilograms - KG). • Press MODE. Set each digit of weight by pressing START·SPLIT to change digit and MODE to go to next digit. Press Mode to go to: 4) ACTIVITY - used to calculate calories burned • Press START·SPLIT to change activity (walk, jog, or run). Press MODE to go to: Note that if you change your activity, you should measure that new stride length and set the watch accordingly. SETUP To use all of Pedometer System’s features, the watch must be set up. Press MODE repeatedly until SETUP (then GOAL) appears. 5) HRM - to determine the heart rate monitor display. This setting is applicable only if you have digital heart rate monitor chest strap. • Press START·SPLIT to select whether to HIDE or SHOW HRM mode. • If you select HIDE, the HRM mode will only appear (between Pedometer and Chrono modes) if the watch is receiving signals from the digital heart rate sensor. • If you select SHOW, the HRM mode will always appear. To set up the Pedometer System for the first time, press and hold SET: 6) Press SET, at any step, when done setting. Watch shows item last set. W226_M597_book.qxd 3/10/06 12:09 PM Page 10 In SETUP, press START·SPLIT repeatedly to step through the Setup items. You may set a particular item by displaying that item and then pressing and holding SET. Watch will allow setting of that item immediately, as described previously. The following table shows how the watch uses setup values. Calculation Distance Speed Calories Burned Setup Value Used Stride Activity Length Weight Type ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ WEARING THE PEDOMETER (TRANSMITTER) Squeeze the top of the spring clip on the back of the pedometer (Figure A) to open the clamp. Slide the pedometer completely onto your belt or waistband (Figure B) as close to your hip bone as possible, so that the switch faces away from your body (Figure C). Pedometer should be on same side of body as watch. Be sure the pedometer remains firmly attached during your activity. Figure A 10 Figure B To activate the pedometer transmitter, slide ON/OFF switch to ON. When done tracking activity, slide pedometer switch to OFF. To conserve battery power, pedometer transmitter automatically goes to lowpower mode after 120 minutes of inactivity, even when switch is ON. The pedometer will start transmitting once motion is detected. USING PEDOMETER SYSTEM To display data from the pedometer system, you must activate watch (receiver) in one of two ways: 1) In Time mode, press RECEIVER ON., or 2) Press MODE repeatedly until PEDOM appears. The stick figure icon in the watch display shows the status of the link between the watch receiver and the transmitter. When receiver is activated, a standing stick figure appears. When data is being received, the stick figure is either flashing or walking. TMR appears in display to show that Activity Timer is recording elapsed time. Even if your activity stops, the standing stick figure will flash to indicate that the transmitter and receiver are still electronically linked. RECEIVER ON WITH COMMUNICATION NOT ESTABLISHED Figure C 11 RECEIVER ON WITH COMMUNICATION ESTABLISHED W226_M597_book.qxd 3/10/06 12:09 PM Page 12 Note that when receiver is activated, watch will also listen for the digital heart rate sensor and heart icon ( ) will appear (See HEART RATE MONITOR). Once communication has been established, there are two ways to display pedometer data on the watch. In Time mode, press START·SPLIT to briefly see the Step Count. To view pedometer data, press MODE repeatedly until PEDOM appears. In Pedometer mode, press START·SPLIT repeatedly to see the data: Step Count, Distance, Activity Timer, Calories Burned, Speed, Step Rate and Steps To Go (for Goal). Your pedometer system will continue to accumulate data for as long as you need -- up to 999,999 steps. To reset ALL the data to zero, go to Pedometer mode, and press and hold STP·RST. Note that the stride length must be changed for each activity. Selecting WALK, JOG or RUN only effects the Calories Burned calculation. NOTE ON STEP COUNT Pedometer counts every step it detects, but watch display updates every few seconds. Therefore, it is normal for the step count display on the watch to increase more than 1 step at a time. For example, if you take three steps between transmissions from pedometer to watch, step count on watch will jump by three. For problems with pedometer system, see TROUBLESHOOTING. track total time of an activity (including pauses). 2. CAL (calories burned) provides insight to exertion during activity. The more strenuous the activity, the more calories that are burned. 3. Set the number of steps for your GOAL. TO GO tracks the steps remaining to reach that goal. This is useful when you want to maintain a certain level of activity per day. 4. SPEED and RATE (steps per minute) show pace of activity. This is useful as a tool to judge and increase exercise intensity and calorie consumption. HEART RATE MONITOR (OPTIONAL) USING HEART RATE MONITOR When combined with a digital heart rate sensor, your watch becomes part of an overall fitness system. The heart rate sensor records your heart rate and transmits it to the watch. Just glance at watch during exercise to make sure you are in the desired heart rate zone to maintain or improve your fitness objectives (see any fitness guide for target heart rate zones). To monitor your heart rate: PEDOMETER DATA SUGGESTIONS 1. TIMER automatically tracks activity time as you walk, jog, or run. No elapsed time is accumulated while you are standing still. Use CHRONO mode to 1) Put heart rate sensor on your chest. For details on how the heart rate sensor should be worn, refer to the Fitness Sensor User Guide that accompanies the heart rate sensor. The instructions in this section assume the heart rate sensor is being worn as recommended. 2) Start the heart rate monitor function. In Time mode, press RECEIVER ON or press MODE repeatedly to go to PEDOM or HRM mode. A hollow heart symbol ( ) appears in the display as the watch waits for the heart rate sensor signal. When the watch begins receiving data, heart symbol becomes solid ( ) and begins flashing. 12 13 W226_M597_book.qxd 3/10/06 12:09 PM Page 14 To ensure a clear signal, stand at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from anyone else using a digital heart rate sensor. If the watch does not receive the transmission from sensor, the watch stops searching for it. Repeat Step 2 to restart. 3) Read your heart rate. When the watch receives data from sensor, your heart rate (BPM) may be viewed in Time mode or HRM mode. • In Time mode, press START·SPLIT. Heart rate will be displayed if the pedometer is not active. If the pedometer is active, step count will be displayed first. In that case, press START·SPLIT again to view the heart rate. • Press MODE repeatedly until HRM appears. Current heart rate is then displayed. Press START·SPLIT to view average heart rate since watch started receiving heart rate data. Heart rate monitor automatically shuts off when no data from the heart rate sensor has been received for 60 seconds. You may turn off heart rate monitor manually by pressing and holding START·SPLIT for 3 seconds in HRM mode. For problems with heart rate monitor, see TROUBLESHOOTING Heart Rate Monitor I'm having trouble getting a first reading, or the heart rate numbers appear to be incorrect during operation. • • • • 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 usually indicates that either the sensor pads need moisture, or the chest unit is not snug on your chest which causes 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. TROUBLESHOOTING Pedometer System The stick figure is not walking, or I see the message NO POD DATA on my watch, yet the pedometer transmitter is ON. • • 14 Liberally reapply moisture to the textured contact pads on the back of the heart rate sensor. Tighten the chest strap until it fits snugly and makes good contact with the skin. Make sure the sensor is secure against your skin and is placed with TIMEX facing up. Move away from other digital heart rate sensors and other sources of radio signals and static electricity, such as exercise equipment and other electrical machinery. Wait a couple of minutes and try again. Sometimes the heart stops flashing briefly. As long as the heart is flashing, the watch is receiving a clear signal from the monitor. As with any radio system, there may be occasional interference or brief jamming of the signal. If this occurs, the watch suspends the flashing of the heart. Usually the problem resolves itself and the flashing resumes. If the interruption continues, the watch alerts you with the error message described below. Make sure pedometer is worn on the same side of the body as the watch. Replace the battery in the pedometer. 15 W226_M597_book.qxd 3/10/06 12:09 PM Page 16 The message “NO HRM DATA” appears on the display. • • • This error message is displayed if the watch is not receiving regular heart rate updates from the sensor. However, as long as the sensor is on the chest, its pads are wet, and the battery in the transmitter is not weak, the watch will usually recover without intervention on your part. If it does not recover, try the following: The sensor pads on the chest transmitter may have lost contact with your chest for a few seconds. Be sure the transmitter is snug on your body. The sensor pads may be dry. Liberally moisten them and readjust the chest transmitter if necessary. The battery in the chest transmitter may be weak and need replacing. (See instructions in the Fitness Sensor User Guide for battery replacement.) WATCH MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY Maintenance The heart rate monitor transmitter and its strap should be rinsed in fresh water to avoid the build-up of materials that can interfere with the measurement of your heart rate. The watch does not need to be rinsed. Watch Battery Replacement The watch battery should last approximately 22 months using the pedometer system and/or heart rate monitor up to 1 hour per day. Pedometer Transmitter Battery Life and Replacement Battery life of the pedometer transmitter should exceed 17 months, based upon using it an hour a day. Greater usage will shorten the battery life. Replace transmitter battery when any of the following occur: • • To replace pedometer battery, follow steps below: 1. Using a #0 Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screw on back top right of pedometer transmitter. 2. Remove old battery. 3. Replace battery with CR2032 (or equivalent). 4. Reinstall battery cover. 5. Turn pedometer transmitter on and test. HRM Transmitter Battery Life and Replacement Please refer to the Fitness Sensor User Guide for more information on HRM transmitter battery life and replacement. To avoid the possibility of permanently damaging the watch, TIMEX STRONGLY RECOMMENDS TAKING YOUR WATCH TO A LOCAL RETAILER OR JEWELER TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED. 16 The watch no longer receives pedometer information from the pedometer transmitter when properly worn and powered on. Stationary stick figure and error messages (NO POD DATA) appear on the display with increased frequency. 17 W226_M597_book.qxd 3/10/06 12:09 PM Page 18 WATER RESISTANCE Your Watch withstands water pressure up to 86 psi (equals immersion to 164 feet or 50 meters below sea level). This 50-meter resistance remains intact so long as you keep the lens, push buttons, and case intact. WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER RESISTANCE, DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS WHILE UNDER WATER. While your Watch will resist water, you should not use this Watch for diving, as it is not a diver’s Watch and you should rinse your Watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water.
