Turning Off the Wrist-based Heart Rate Monitor
The default value for the Wrist Heart Rate setting is Auto. The device automatically uses the wrist-based heart
rate monitor unless you pair an ANT+ heart rate monitor to the device.
NOTE: Disabling the wrist-based heart rate monitor also disables the wrist-based pulse oximeter sensor. You
can perform a manual reading from the pulse oximeter widget.
1 From the heart rate widget, hold UP.
2 Select Heart Rate Options > Status > Off.
Heart Rate While Swimming
NOTICE
The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with the device may damage the product and will
void the warranty.
The watch has wrist-based heart rate enabled for swim activities. The watch is also compatible with the HRM-
Pro, HRM-Swim, and HRM-Tri accessories. If both wrist-based heart rate and chest heart rate data are available,
your watch uses the chest heart rate data (Chest Heart Rate While Swimming, page 63).

care provider for any heart-related issues.
