3.2 Important information

Measurement of heart rate frequency using ‚finger touch' is a
precise measurement method. The display shows your heart rate
frequency at the time of measurement. This rate can quickly
change according to the body's activity.
Therefore, you should repeat the measurement at regular
intervals during training.
Please consult a doctor before you begin training – especially if
you already have a cardio-vascular complaint.

3.3 Frequently asked questions and service

Does the SIGMA SPORT heart rate monitor completely
switch off?
No. Only the time is displayed in sleep mode, so that you
can also use the heart rate monitor as a normal wristwatch.
The PC 3FT uses very little power in this state.
Why can't I see a reading after measuring heart rate
frequency?
• You have removed your fingers from the contacts too soon.
Measurement takes a few seconds and is complete only
when the largest heart symbol is visible on the display.
• You have worn the PC 3FT on your sleeve and/or worn gloves
during measurement. The watch must be placed directly on the
skin for measurement and the contacts must be pressed
without gloves on the hands.
Are SIGMA SPORT heart rate monitors waterproof and
can they be used for swimming?
Yes – up to a water depth of 3 meters.
Please note: Do not press the buttons underwater, as otherwise
water can enter the housing.
Avoid using in sea water, as malfunctions can occur
The display responds sluggishly or shows a black coloration,
what is the reason for this?
The operating temperature may have been exceeded or fallen
below. Your heart rate monitor is designed for a temperature
of 1°C to 55°C.
What should I do if the display is faint?
A faint display may be the result of a weak battery.
The latter should be replaced as soon as possible – Battery type
