IMPORTANT NOTES
Please carefully read through these operating instructions, keep it
for future reference and also make it available to others.
Training
This product is not a therapeutic device. It is a training instrument,
which was developed for the measurement and representation of
the human heart rate.
With high-risk sports, please note that the use of the heart rate
monitor can represent an additional source of injury.
If in doubt or for illnesses, please consult your doctor concerning
the values of your upper and lower target heart rate as well as the
duration and frequency of training. In such a way, you can
achieve optimal results when training.
WARNING: People suffering from heart and circulatory illnesses
or those with pacemakers should only use this heart rate monitor
after having consulted their doctor.
Application
The device is only intended for private use.
This device may only be used for the purpose it was designed for
and in the manner outlined in this operating instructions. Any form
of improper use can be dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable
for damages that are caused by improper or incorrect use.
The heart rate monitor is waterproof. (see chapter "Technical
Specifications")
Electromagnetic disturbances may occur. (see chapter "Technical
Specifications")

Cleaning and care
From time to time, carefully clean your chest strap, elastic chest
strap and heart rate monitor with a soap and water solution. Then
rinse off all components with clean water. Carefully dry them with
a soft towel. You can wash the elastic chest strap in the washing
machine at 30° without fabric softener. The chest strap is not made for the dryer!
Store the chest strap in a clean and dry place. Dirt impairs the
elasticity and functioning of the transmitter. Sweat and moisture
can keep the electrodes wet and consequently activate the
transmitter, which shortens battery life.
Repair, Accessories and Disposal
Prior to use, it should be ensured that the device and accessories
are free of damage. If in doubt, do not use the device and consult
your sales representative or the customer service address provided.
Repairs may only be conducted by customer service or author-
ized dealers. Please do not in any case attempt to repair the device!
Use the device only in combination with the accessories provided
with it.
Avoid contact with sunscreen or the like since these can cause
damage to the imprint or plastic components.
Please dispose of the device in accordance with Waste Electric
and Electronic Equipment 2002/96/EC - WEEE. For inquiries,
please contact the municipal authority responsible for disposal in
your area.

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR TRAINING
This heart rate monitor serves to measure the human pulse. By
means of various settings, you can support your individual training
program and monitor your pulse. You should monitor your pulse
during exercise because you should prevent your heart from excessive strain on the one hand and on the other in order to achieve the
optimal training results. The table provides you with some information on the selection of your training zone. The maximum heart rate
reduces with advancing age. Information on the training heart rate
must therefore always be in relation to the maximum heart rate. The
following rule of thumb is used for the identification of the maximum
heart rate:
220 - age = maximum heart rate
The following example applies to a 40-year-old person: 220-40 = 180

TRANSMISSION OF SIGNAL AND METHODS OF DEVICES
MEASUREMENT
Receiving range of the heart rate monitor
Your heart rate monitor picks up the heart rate signals sent by the
chest strap transmitter within a range of 70 centimeters.
Sensors on the chest strap
The entire chest strap consists of two components: the actual chest
strap and an elastic tension belt. On the inside of the chest strap
contacting the body, there are two rectangular, corrugated sensors.
Both sensors determine your heart rate ECG exactly and transmit
this to the heart rate monitor.
GETTING STARTED
Putting on the heart rate monitor
You can wear your heart rate monitor like a wrist watch.
Activating the heart rate monitor from the power saving
mode
You can activate your heart rate monitor by pressing any key. If the
heart rate monitor has not received any signal for approx. five
minutes, it switches to the power saving mode. At that point, only the
current time will be displayed. Press any key in order to reactivate
the watch.

7
Putting on the chest strap
Tighten the chest strap with the elastic tension
belt. Adjust the length of the belt such that the
belt is snug, but neither too loose nor too tight.
Position the belt around the chest such that the
logo is facing outwards and in the correct position directly over the breast bone. For men, the
chest belt should be located directly below the
pectoral muscles, for women, directly below the
breast.
Since optimal contact between the skin and the heart rate sensors
can not be created immediately, it may take some time until the
heart rate is measured and displayed. If necessary, alter the
position of the transmitter in order to achieve optimal contact.
Most of the time, sufficient contact is achieved through the
accumulation of sweat beneath the chest strap. You can,
however, also wet the contact points on the inside of the chest
strap. For this, lift the chest strap up from the skin slightly and wet
the two sensors with saliva, water or ECG gel (available at the
chemistry). The contact between the skin and chest strap may not
be interrupted also with greater movements of the thorax such as
during deep breathing. Significant chest chair can interfere with
and even prevent contact.
Put on the chest strap a few minutes before starting in order to
warm it up to body temperature and establish optimal contact.
