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 moni-
tor 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 Specifi-
cations")
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 elas-
ticity 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 dam-
age to the imprint or plastic components.
Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
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 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

Analysis of the Training
You can transfer your training data to a PC via the PC interface of your
HR monitor (3 pins on the back of your monitor) and evaluate it there.
The required accessories consisting of a CD with the PC software
EasyFit and a communication cable are available at specialist shops
under order number 671.10.
The PC software EasyFit controls the transfer of the data from your HR
monitor and offers a wide range of analysis options. In addition, EasyFit
provides useful calendar and administrative functions, which also support optimal training over longer periods of time. Using the software, you
can also control and monitor your weight management.

TRANSMISSION OF SIGNAL AND METHODS OF DEVICES MEAS-
UREMENT
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.
The chest strap is compatible with other analogue devices, such as e.g.
ergometers.
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.
Activating the HR watch from transport mode
During transport the monitor is blank. You can remove the transport
mode by pressing the button
MENU
and then
START/STOP

9
Activating the heart rate monitor from power saving mode
You can activate your heart rate monitor by pressing any button. 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
and the date will be displayed. Press any button 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.
Stop and save your recording.
Delete all recordings.
Analyze memory messages.
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 Save/Delete: 00:00:00) and on
the line below
Things to know about the recordings
As soon as you have started the recording, your HR monitor starts
recording your training data. Your HR monitor continually records
your training data until you save or delete 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.
Your HR watch has a memory. The recording time is up to 24 hours
and depends on the number of laps. A maximum of 50 laps is possible for each training. Your HR watch informs you if the memory is
almost full. At this point, at the latest, we recommend transmitting the
recordings to your PC and thus emptying the memory on the HR
watch. Alternatively you can delete all recordings manually. Read the

section “Delete all recordings” in this chapter to find out how to delete
the recordings.
You can let your training data be displayed. The last recording saved,
can be recalled in the menu
Result. In the menu Lap Result you can
see the laps for this recording.
As soon as you have transferred the recordings into the EasyFit
software, you can view and analyze them there. The memory will be
deleted every time you have successfully transferred the data to the
PC. You can find explanations regarding the transfer of data to the
PC in the chapter “EasyFit Software”.
