It is a training instrument that has been designed to monitor and indicate your heart rate, calorie consumption and fat burn. Before you begin your training program visit your doctor and consult him as to your individual upper and lower heart rate limit (training range), exercise frequency and duration. With these parameters of your current fitness level you will be able to achieve optimum results. [. . . ] Set the date using the set button. The heart symbol flashes in the display when your heart rate monitor is receiving signals from the transmitter. Return to the date mode by pressing the mode button. The English abbreviation for the weekday is automatically displayed before the date. TRANSMISSION FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE Weekday abbreviations: MO = Monday, TU = Tuesday, WE = Wednesday, TH = Thursday, FR = Friday, SA = Saturday, SU = Sunday Battery-operated heart rate monitors can be influenced by interference from external radio frequencies. Electronic training devices in fitness clubs, mobile phones, batteryoperated bike computers, high-voltage lines etc. can cause irregular transmission impulses and lead to the display showing "0" during training. When training takes place in groups, other heart rate transmitters can overlay your signal causing an incorrect heart rate display. To achieve correct signals, keep a distance of approx. 2 metres between yourself and other users of heart rate monitors. -4- -5- MD 4302 BDA/UK 19. 09. 2002 13:54 Uhr Seite 5 C M Y CM MY CY CMY K SETTING THE TRAINING RANGE The heart rate monitor makes it possible for you to set a specific training range with upper and lower heart rate limit value. During training, your current heart rate is shown in the display. A flashing value and an arrow pointing upwards or downwards indicate that you are outside your set training range. In addition, an acoustic alarm can be set. The arrows disappear as soon as your current value is within the training range again. TRAINING FORM - KEEPING FIT Formula: lower limit value: MHR x 0. 50 upper limit value: MHR x 0. 65 TRAINING FORM - STAMINA TRAINING Formula: lower limit value: MHR x 0. 65 upper limit value: MHR x 0. 80 TRAINING FORM - MAXIMUM LOAD Formula: lower limit value: MHR x 0. 80 upper limit value: MHR x 0. 95 The monitor must be in the training zone mode for the training limits to be set, i. e. the display alternates between how long you were in the upper (HI), lower (LO) and required (In) training range. If this is not the case, enter the time mode and press the mode button to move into the training zone mode. Keep the set button pressed for approx. 2 seconds in the training time mode until the word "Hold" disappears from the display. Now press the set button to set the upper limit value between 100 and 240. Confirm your selection using the mode button, the lower limit value will then appear flashing. Press the set button to set the required lower limit value between 30 and 179. Use your maximum heart rate (MHR) to calculate your training limit values. Contact your doctor or your trainer to determine your maximum heart rate. If you do not know your maximum heart rate, you can estimate it using the following formula: MEN: 220 minus age = Maximum heart rate (MHR) WOMEN: 230 minus age = Maximum heart rate (MHR) Calculate the upper and lower limit values of your training form by multiplying your maximum heart frequency by the factors listed in the following. Select the training form you require. You cannot set a lower limit value that is higher than the upper limit value. In this case the upper limit value will reappear on the display so that you can reset it. Return to the training zone mode by pressing the mode button. WARNING SIGNAL FOR THE TRAINING ZONE CAUTION! The training forms given with the different heart rate ranges are only examples. You must discuss your personal training form with your personal heart rate ranges with your doctor or a qualified trainer. Exceeding or falling below the set limit values can be indicated by an acoustic signal in addition to the optical display. Press the alarm button to activate or deactivate the acoustic signal.
