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.

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.  

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.

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.
