Lost instruction and can't work how to get calorie count to start

Check out the low-carb high-fat "diet".(dietdoctor.com) My wife has lost over 40 pounds without counting calories or eating 'special' shakes etc. I'm on it too and I've lost about 10 pounds, and I don't feel hungry.

hi Sharon.
this link might help you out but not sure.
Thinner scale just keeps flashing 50 0 KG Google Search

Instructions 1. Press the "Mode" button until you advance to the "Step Count" feature. 2. Hold the "Reset" button for three seconds. A screen will appear asking you if you wish to reset. 3. Press the "Start/Stop" button to select "Yes." 4. Press the "Mode" button to continue and return to the pedometer mode. You have now reset a New Balance sport pedometer.

A low battery voltage can cause that as can a break in the lead from the flywheel sensor as it will not start the timer.
Check the batteries and then the leads.

First you need to understand that the Polar system is a medical grade device and it is calculating calories based on specific information that you have inputed and heart rate data from your heart.

Most treadmills and other exercise machines use a much simpler counter that is height and weight based to calculate calories and are generally over generous with their numbers.

Depending on the blood pressure machine you are using, the pulse (not heart rate) is coming through the brachial artery, again not quite as accurate as measuring r-r variance from your heart. There is a ton of literature you can read if you are into the accurateness of the system, but I will sum up with saying that you actual calorie expenditure will be closer on the Polar than on most other devices outside of a hospital. As too the heart rate this is also true, so more likely you are getting inaccurate numbers from the other devices.

If you want pinpoint accuracy then you will need to use the Polar RS800 or S810 devices that measure and display true R-R.

Press and hold the reset button, for 5 seconds, while in Time mode. this will reset the heart monitor and the symbol will reappear on the screen.

You will have to go to Polar for this problem. Sorry.<br /> <a href="http://www.polarusa.com/us-en/">http://www.polarusa.com/us-en/</a>

Yes when you are in time mode press the mode button 5 times this will be your calorie screen press the st/stp button to activate the calorie counter you will see in the bottom left corner it says CA ( meaning calories) and in the bottom right crn are the calories you are burning press the st/stp button again to stop then reset when you want to start again.Hope this helps can you help me? I keep pressing the sensor buttons and my heart rate does not appear what am I doing wrong ? Ive read my instructios inside out even returned the watch and got another but the same thing keeps happening ! Initial when I set the watch up it works then I just cant seem to get my heart rate to appear ????????? Thanks Nicole

No, you're not doing anything wrong. I would trust the heart monitor, which gives you a better idea of what YOUR body is doing and not what the AVERAGE body is doing. Most pedometers also cannot distinguish running and walking, which have durastically different calorie requirements. It is most likely calculating the calories burnt if you were walking, not running.

The 305 uses distance to calculate calories. They sell a "foot pod" that you can use indoors, and that will count your calories by calculating the distance you have traveled. The problem however, is that using distance to calculate calories is so inaccurate! The calorie count that the 305 provides is almost always WAY too high. Other heart rate monitors use heart rate to calculate calories burned, and it is a much more accurate measure. My garmin thinks i burned 700 calories an hour today while i was snowboarding, and, while that would be nice, there is NO way it's true!!
