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.  
3. After your age is entered, press the MODE button to select  
your gender. Press the ST/STP or RESET button to select  
“M” for male or “F” for female.  
 
4. After your age and gender are entered, hold the MODE  
button down for 2-3 seconds until the display stops flashing.  
The settings are now saved.  
Setting Manually Your Personal Heart Rate Target Zone  
You can manually override the standard heart rate settings of  
the watch, if desired, to settings of your own preference.  
1. When in the Heart Rate Target Zone mode, hold the MODE  
button down for 2-3 seconds until the display flashes.  
2. Set or confirm your age and gender (previous section), then  
press and release the MODE button.  
3. Your standard high upper limit, designated with an “H”, will  
be flashing. This can be adjusted up or down by pressing  
the ST/STP button to increase and RESET button to decrease  
the setting.

Setting the Heart Rate Alert Feature ON/OFF  
When in the Heart Rate Target Zone mode, to turn the Heart  
Rate Alert Function ON or OFF, press the ST/STP button.  
When OFF, your upper and lower limits will be ‘hidden’ by  
the display, and your Heart Rate Alert function will now be  
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.
