It is a training instrument designed for measuring and indicating your heart rate, your calorie consumption and fat catabolism. Before starting your training programme, please consult your doctor or trainer to determine your individual upper and lower heart rate limit (training zone), training frequency and length of training. [. . . ] If necessary, try varying positions of the transmitter to achieve an optimum contact. HEART RATE DISPLAY Press the mode button. The display of the day will start flashing. The heart symbol on the display will start flashing as soon as your heart rate monitor receives signals from the transmitter. RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCES By pressing the mode button, you will return to the date mode. The day of the week will automatically be displayed as an English abbreviation in front of the date. Explanation of the abbreviations of the days of the week: Monday = MO Tuesday = TU Wednesday = WE Thursday =TH Friday = FR Saturday = SA Sunday = SU Wireless heart rate monitors can be influenced by interferences of external radio frequencies. Electronic training devices at fitness clubs, mobile phones, wireless bicycle computers, high voltage transmission lines or the like can cause irregular transmitter pulses and be the reason why "0" is indicated on the display during the training. When training in groups, other heart rate transmitters can interfere with your signal which will lead to a false heart rate display. To get correct signals, keep a distance of approx. 2 metres to other users of heart rate monitors. -4- -5- SETTING THE TRAINING ZONE The heart rate monitor will enable you to set a specific training zone with an upper and lower heart rate limit. The display will indicate your current heart rate during the training. A flashing value and an arrow pointing upward or downward will tell you that you are outside of your set training zone. In addition, an audible alarm can be set. The arrows will disappear as soon as your current value is within the preset training zone. TYPE OF TRAINING - HEALTH BENEFITS Formula: lower limit: MHR x 0. 50 upper limit: MHR x 0. 65 TYPE OF TRAINING - ENDURANCE TRAINING Formula: lower limit: MHR x 0. 65 upper limit: MHR x 0. 80 TYPE OF TRAINING - MAXIMUM LOAD Formula: lower limit: MHR x 0. 80 upper limit: MHR x 0. 95 For setting the training limits, the monitor has to be in the training zone mode, i. e. it will alternately be indicated on the display how long you were in the upper (HI), in the lower (Lo) and in the desired (In) training zone. If this is not so, switch to the clock mode and press the mode button to get to the training zone mode. In the training zone mode, keep the set button pressed for about 2 seconds until the display "Hold" will disappear. Press the set button now for setting the upper limit between 100 and 240. Confirm your choice with the mode button, and the lower flashing limit will be displayed. Set the desired lower limit by pressing the set button between 30 and 179. For calculating the training limits, your maximum heart rate (MHR) has to be taken as a basis. To determine your maximum heart rate, please consult your doctor or your trainer. If you do not know your maximum heart rate, you can estimate it on the basis of the following formula: MEN : 220 minus age = maximum heart rate (MHR) WOMEN : 230 minus age = maximum heart rate (MHR) Calculate the upper and lower training limit of your kind of training by multiplying your maximum heart rate with the factors listed below. Choose your desired kind of training here. You cannot set a lower limit which is higher than the upper limit. In this case, the upper limit will again be shown on the display so that you can set it again. By pressing the mode button, you will return to the training zone mode. WARNING SIGNAL FOR TRAINING ZONE ATTENTION! The types of training with the different heart rate zones are just examples. Please ensure you discuss your choice of training with your doctor or qualified trainer. When exceeding or staying below the limits, you can also be informed about this by a warning signal tone besides the visual display.

By pressing the mode button, you will stop the time measurement without continuing automatically with the next lap. Press the mode button to leave the lap time memory and to return again to the lap time mode.
