Congratulations on your purchase of this Sportline Solo 920

Heart Rate Watch.

We commend your efforts on taking steps for healthier living.

Measuring your heart rate is fun and easy, and can help

manage your ‘heart health’.

While the Sportline Solo 920 Heart Rate watch works like a

standard sports watch, it includes an advanced heart rate

sensing technology - S-Pulse™ - that provides easy and

accurate contact heart rate readings.

S-Pulse™ is a patented heart rate sensing technology that

measures the electrical signals on your skin – in the same

manner that an EKG or electrocardiogram does.

While the Sportline Solo 920 Heart Rate watch attaches to your

wrist like other watch products, it does not measure or sense

your pulse at your wrist. It instead uses S-Pulse™ technology

to sense your heart rate by measuring your EKG signal.

How to Measure Your Heart Rate

To get your heart rate reading, just follow these simple steps:

1. Place the Sportline Solo 920 Heart Rate Watch on your wrist,

adjusting for a snug, comfortable fit.

2. Place your finger on the Sportline Solo 920

Heart Rate Watch’s sensor, as shown,

and press gently for 3-8 seconds.

Be sure to activate the Heart Rate

mode by pressing the bottom metal

sensor so that the display flashes. It

is best to use the flat ‘pads’ of

your fingers, and not the

fingertips.

3. A ‘beep’ will sound and your heart rate will be

displayed. It’s that easy!

Because the Sportline Solo 920 Heart Rate Watch is a sensitive

monitoring device that reads your EKG signals, reading times

will vary. If you don’t get a reading in 3-8 seconds, wait a

couple of minutes and try again. This gives the Sportline Solo

920 Heart Rate Watch a chance to settle in and pick up your

electrical signals.

Your heart rate will remain displayed once measured,

and will remain displayed for 7 seconds after you release

the sensor button.

• The Sportline Solo 920 Heart Rate Watch must be attached

to your wrist in order for the Heart Rate Measure function

to work.

• Proper finger pad contact is very important and affects the

heart rate reading time.

• For those users with dry skin, thick or calloused fingers,

low heart rate signal strength (EKG strength), minimal

padding on your fingers, or users located in dry

environments, please see our Helpful Hints section.

• The Heart Rate Measure function is not intended for use or

operation in or under water.

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 order until

you successfully measure your heart rate:

1. Make sure the Sportline Solo 920 Heart Rate 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. 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. Stop if OK or

3. Make sure that the metal back of the Heart Rate Watch is

laying flat on your skin. Stop if OK or

4. Make sure your wrist and fingers are clean and free from

dirt, oils, or lotions. Stop if OK or

5. Stay still, and relax your arms on a stable surface while

taking your heart rate. Stop if OK or

6. Clean the front sensor and back metal plate with a mild

soap and water or similar cleaning solution.

7. Moisten with water the pads of the fingers that you are

using to contact the sensors on the face of the watch.

Stop if OK or

8. Moisten with water the surface between the back metal

plate of the watch and the skin on your wrist.

About the Heart Rate Target Zone and Alert

The Heart Rate Target Zone feature helps you compare your

acquired heart rate with your target zone when the Heart Rate

Alert feature is ON:

• 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 be beep twice and your heart rate will

be displayed with an “H” (H = High).

Example: Debbie’s target zone is 80-120 bpm (beats per min.).

After 5 minutes of walking, Debbie measures her heart rate.

Debbie’s heart rate is: “L 72”. She can decide to pick up her

pace so her next reading falls within her target range, or she can

stay at her current pace.

Setting the Standard Heart Rate Zone

Note: If you are new to exercise, have a heart condition, or

have questions/concerns about your heart and heart rate zone,

please consult your doctor.

By entering your age and gender, the Watch will calculate your

standard heart rate range.

1. While in the Heart Rate Target Zone mode, press the MODE

button for 2-3 seconds until the display flashes.

2. To enter your age, press the ST/STP button to increase and

RESET button to decrease the setting.

button down for 2-3 seconds until the display flashes.

2. Set or confirm your age and gender (previous section), then

OFF. However, your upper and lower limits are still retained

in the Watch memory.

• When ON, your upper and lower limits will now appear in

the display, and your Heart Rate Alert function will now be ON.

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 less your age

(220 – your age).

• Your Relative heart rate will be displayed as a percentage

when displaying your heart rate.

Example of Relative Heart Rate:

Tom is 30 years old.

His heart rate measured as: 132.

Maximum heart rate 220 – age 30 = 190 bpm.

132/190 = 70% is Toms relative heart rate.

Note: Relative heart rate will only be displayed if the Target Rate

Alert Feature is turned on when you measure your heart rate.

How this Sportline Solo 920 Heart Rate Watch Works

It is useful to understand the basics of how the S-Pulse™

sensing technology works – as it will perform differently on

people of different age, skin type, body type, EKG or electro-

cardiogram signal strength, among others.

The S-Pulse™ technology measures the electronic signals that

pass through your body – that result from the beating of your

heart. Many are familiar with the EKG waveform – from either

personal experiences while at the hospital, or from popular

television medical shows. It is this same signal that passes

through your body that S-Pulse™ measures.

This measurement is obtained by the Watch’s two metal sensors.

The back metal plate of the Watch wrist is actually a primary

sensor that measures these electronic signals off your arm.

The ‘EKG’ measurement is done when you place your fingers

from one hand on the top sensor on the Watch that is attached to

your opposite arm. This creates a loop across your body that the

Watch can now read.

• The Sportline Solo 920 Heart Rate watch must be attached

to your wrist in order for the Heart Rate Measure function

to work.
