Timex W-188 Heart Rate Monitor User Manual


 
HANDS-FREE SETTINGS
Hands-free features operate in conjunction with the GPS-3D
Sensor. They automate chronograph features, freeing you to focus
on your workout instead of operating your Watch.
Configure the following hands-free settings:
Auto Split: This feature enables the chronograph to
automatically take splits based on intervals (when you set
intervals in Timer Mode), or by a distance, altitude, or a time
you determine. For instance, you can configure the Watch to
take a split every mile and then you can compare data for each
mile in Lap Data Mode after you complete your activity.
Auto Start: This feature enables the chronograph to start
when you start moving. It may take a few seconds for the GPS-
3D Sensor to detect your movement, causing a slight delay in
start time.
Auto Stop: This feature enables the chronograph to stop when
you stop moving. It may take a few seconds for the GPS-3D
Sensor to detect that you have stopped moving, causing a slight
delay in stop time.
NOTE: Even when enabled, you can still start and stop the
chronograph manually and take manual splits without
affecting the hands-free operation.

Speed Smoothing: Turn speed smoothing off or on.
Pace Smoothing: Turn pace smoothing off or on.
ALTITUDE SETTINGS
Smoothing: Smoothing is useful if you feel that the displayed
altitude values appear to be too erratic. Smoothing applies an
averaging filter and may cause the displayed altitude values to
respond more slowly to changes.
Configure the following altitude settings:
Target Altitude: Set the target altitude to alert you when you
move above a specified altitude. When you reach the target
altitude, the Watch beeps and begins timing. If you move below
the target altitude, the Watch suspends timing until you once
again move above the target altitude.
Max Altitude: Set the max altitude to alert you if you move
above an altitude value you do not wish to exceed. If you exceed
your altitude, the Watch will beep until you move below the
maximum altitude.
Smoothing: Turn altitude smoothing off or on.
Update Ascent Rate: Set the Watch to update the period at
which the ascent rate is calculated. You can choose intervals of
30 seconds, or one, 10, 30, or 60 minutes. Set this feature
shorter for faster vertical activities such as skiing or longer for
slower vertical activities such as climbing.
