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 short 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")
4
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 authorized 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 thumb helps to identify 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. In order to fix the heart rate monitor on bike handle bars, attach the bike mount included to the handle bars. Tighten the heart rate monitor around the mount such that it is not able to slip while riding.
Changing the wrist band
Your heart rate monitor has a swappable wrist band. When changing the wrist band, procede as follows:
Slightly raise the base that surrounds the side buttons. Pull the watch case backwards out of the wrist band by pressing on the watch case.
8
There are small retaining hooks on the top and bottom edge (1) of the watch case. The wrist band has the corresponding slots (2).
Insert the watch case into the wrist band. Guide the outer sides (3), which enclose the side buttons, carefully over the buttons.
Pay attention that the retaining hooks fit exactly into the slots on the wrist band. The casing must be directly attached to the wrist band without any space. Otherwise, the danger exists that the watch could separate.
Please note: Only change the wrist band, if necessary. Excessive swapping stresses the material.
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.

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.

RECORDING OF TRAINING
Overview
In the menu Training you can:
Stop your run times and thereby record your training session.
Record individual laps.
Reset recording to zero.
Once you are in the menu Training, your HR monitor automatically switches to the main display. This displays the already recorded training time on the middle line (after reset: 00:00:00) and on the line below Start.
Things to know about the recordings
As soon as you have started the recording, your HR monitor starts recording your training data. You can have your training data displayed in the menu Result and the menu Lap Result.
Your HR monitor continually records your training data until you have reset this. This also applies when you first start training on the following day. The running time also allows you to stop your training session at any time.
Reset your recording every time you want to start a new recording. The memory in your HR monitor can record a total of 100 hours.
