Chest Strap Information:
The chest strap will allow your watch to capture, display and save heart rate data. This strap must be worn with good contact on your bare skin. Moisture between the strap and your skin aids in conductivity and allows the heart rate feature to work properly.
To Wear Heart Rate Chest Strap: see fig.2 The Accelerator Pulse has two primary menus: Exercise Mode and Home Time Mode each have their own menu system.

Your Accelerator’s Exercise Mode accurately measures your speed, distance, calories, steps and heart rate
Correct age, weight and gender are important to establish heart rate parameters. Correct measure of your weight and walking/ running stride lengths is crucial to achieving accurate speed and distance info. For help with measuring your average stride lengths, visit www.tech4o.com and use the stride length calculator on the Accelerator product page. See the following on how to access and navigate the five Exercise Mode displays
To Use the Exercise Mode: See fig.9
Important: Although Exercise Mode will automatically record information once it has been accessed, the sensors still need time to initialize. The watch will beep when the sensors are ready. It is extremely important that you wait for the beep. If you begin your exercise before initialization, the results will be grossly inaccurate.
Exercise Mode Displays
Although this watch has a pre-programmed profile, it is extremely important to enter your personal profile in the MAIN SETTINGS MENU – Personal Profile: 8 of 11
Exercise Mode Displays:
• PRESS LAP/RESET from the Home Time display to access Exercise Mode • PRESS MODE to scroll through the exercise data displays Top line: various exercise mode data (see following sections for details) Bottom line: current heart rate, percentage of maximum heart rate, pedometer and heart rate icons

Your accelerator watch automatically distinguishes between walking and running and adjusts its calculations accordingly • PRESS LAP/RESET at any time to exit Exercise Mode. It will continue to record exercise data as you navigate elsewhere in the watch • HOLD ST/STP FOR 3 SECONDS to manually start or stop recording To View Pedometer Exercise Data: See fig.10 While in Exercise Mode: • PRESS MODE to scroll PEDO display • PRESS ST/STP to view pedometer data • PRESS LAP/RESET to exit Exercise Mode
Estimated Maximum Heart Rate and Percentage of Maximum Heart Rate: Your Accelerator watch records and calculates various heart rate data. Much of this data is based on your estimated maximum heart rate which is determined by the information entered in your personal profile. See fig 11 for an explanation of your watch's calculation of estimated maximum hear rate

Exercise History: 2 of 5 See fig.17 Your Accelerator watch contains a vast amount of internal memory. Daily exercise data is automatically stored every night at midnight. The watch’s memory will store up to 7 days of individual daily exercise data and log the current day. After 7 days, the daily data is automatically cataloged into a weekly exercise record. The Accelerator’s memory stores 10 weeks of records plus the last 7 days as daily exercise data. All data is stored on a rolling counter i.e.: after 10 weeks, the oldest record is replaced by the most recent weekly data. See the following steps to access the Accelerator’s internal memory HOLD MODE FOR 3 SECONDS in Exercise Mode to access the Exercise Settings Menu • PRESS ST/STP or LAP/RESET to scroll to Exercise History: 2 of 5

Most important is determining your average stride lengths. The greater the test distance, the more accurate your data will be. A distance of 100m or 300ft is sufficient for proper calibration. This distance is easy to measure at a local running track, as it is the length of one straightaway. Use the online stride calculator at www.tech4o.com for help with various stride

The power saving mode turns off the display but does not turn off the watch functions
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
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
Battery Replacrment
HOLD LAP/RESET FOR 5 SECONDS from the home time display to put the watch in power saving mode. • PRESS any button to exit power saving mode
Be sure to slip the battery underneath the metal contact arm fig.37
3. 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
31
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 • 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?
