PRESS any button to exit power saving mode BATTERY REPLACEMENT: Your Accelerator watch requires 2 batteries: wrist watch - CR2032 Johnson Outdoors recommends you take the wrist watch to a jeweler for battery replacement heart rate strap - CR2032 The battery on the heart rate strap is user replaceable To Replace the Chest Strap battery: 1. Fit a coin into the slot on the back of battery cover. Gently turn the cover from the DOT towards the ARROW until the cover pops out. Take out the old battery and dispose of properly 2. Replace the battery with the [+] side up. Take care to slide the battery under the metal contact arm With a coin in the cover slot, turn the small cover arrow just past the strap arrow and the cover will pop up for easy removal Be sure to slip the battery underneath the metal contact arm fig Align the cover ARROW with the case ARROW and gently press down until the cover is level with the case 4. Turn the cover with a coin until the cover ARROW again aligns to the case DOT. See fig 37TROUBLESHOOTING Battery Replacrment 31

32 TROUBLESHOOTING: The distance measurements are off This situation could arise because of the following conditions: Have you properly set up your personal profile? Although the Accelerator comes with a preprogrammed profile, a you will achieve much greater accuracy by taking the 5 minutes to set a personal profile 32 Have you properly adjusted the pedometer settings? You may need to adjust the sensitivity or sleep timer to better match your personal stride characteristics and schedule Do you exhibit drastic variations in your running/walking pace, or does your exercise pace differ from the pace you used to determine your stride length? Accelerators work best when you maintain a relatively steady running or walking pace. Although your watch can readily differentiate between running and walking, it is important that when you determine your stride lengths that you mimic the actual stride and vigor you exhibit when exercising I can't get rid of Dual Time! HOLD ST/STP FOR 3 SECONDS to return the Dual Time view to Home Time view. Refer to the instructions in the Main Functions Mode; Dual Time View page 5 The Exercise Mode keeps turning off. Exercise Mode will automatically shut off to conserve battery power. You can alter the frequency of the auto shut off by adjusting the sleep timer (1-240min). Follow the instructions in Pedometer Setting: 4 of 11 in the Main Settings Menu or 4 of 5 in the Exercise Mode Settings Menu The Heart Rate doesn't read or is too slow Make sure you allow Exercise Mode to initialize before beginning exercise. The watch will beep when it's ready. Beginning exercise too quickly after

33 entering Exercise Mode will probably cause inaccurate heart rate measurement. Make sure that there is good, firm contact between you and the sensors. Some reasons for poor contact are: Dry skin or excessive hair on your chest. We recommend that you wet your skin or use a conductive gel, but avoid lotions and creams as they often insulate and inhibit the sensor The watch cannot provide reliable readings for those with arrhythmia - Irregular heart beat.
