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.

Cleaning and care
From time to time, carefully clean your chest strap, elastic chest
strap, heart rate monitor and if necessary the Speedbox 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.

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

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.
Your HR monitor receives the signals from the Speedbox within a
range of three meters.
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 digital transmission works almost without interference. Your HR
monitor only receives the signal from the corresponding transmitter.
There can be no interfering signals from other transmitters.
The chest strap is not compatible with analogue devices, such as
e.g. ergometers.
Signal transmission from the diagnostic scale
The diagnostic scale offers an additional convenience. You can
measure your current weight and your body fat at any time with the
scale and transmit them to the HR monitor. The weight values registered manually in the HR monitor are then updated by the values of
the scale.

Measuring device of the Speedbox
Your HR monitor has all the functions to analyze the signals from the
Beurer Speedbox. A multidimensional measuring device is installed
in the Speedbox. This calculates the acceleration of your foot and
transmits this value to the HR monitor. The HR monitor calculates
the distance covered and the speed from the acceleration and the
time of each individual pace.
The following diagram shows the measured movements of feet over
two paces depending on the type of pace i.e. walking, jogging, running and sprinting.

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.
10
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
.
Activating the heart rate monitor from 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 and the date 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
G
B
11
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.
Pairing the signals from the device
The digital transmitters (chest strap, Speedbox, diagnostic scale)
and receiver (HR monitor) have to be paired. If you buy each device
separately, e.g. as a replacement, or if you change the batteries,
then you have to pair the devices before use.
You can find out how to pair the devices by reading the chapter
“Basic settings”, section “Pairing the device signals”.
Connecting the devices
Your HR monitor receives signals from the digital transmitters, chest
strap and Speedbox, as soon as you have activated them and have
changed into the
Training menu by pressing the
How you can identify on the display whether signals are being received:
If the heart symbol flashes, then the heart rate is being received from the chest strap.
If “0” is displayed in the 1st line for a longer period, then the HR
monitor cannot receive the signals from the chest strap. The
display “0” can occur in the
Training, Time and Spd’nDist
menus. In this case, change into the Training menu with the
MENU
button. The HR monitor tries once more to make
contact with the devices.
MENU
button.
12
Attaching the Speedbox
Place the speedbox as close to the toe-cup as possible but never place it above the ankle for shoes with
high leg.
Fasten the rear of the Speedbox to your shoe by
pulling the shoelaces through the hole provided. You
then only have to put the front hole of the Speedbox
between the shoelaces. Pull the shoelaces tightly
before doing up the shoe.
Calibrating the Speedbox
You will get the most accurate results if you calibrate your Speedbox. You can read how to calibrate your Speedbox in chapter
“Speed and distance”, section “Calibrate the Speedbox”.
Weight management data
You can transmit your weight data and your body fat from the diagnostic scale to the HR monitor. Your can read how to transmit the
data in chapter “Results”, section “Transmit weight management
data”.

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.
If “0” is displayed for a longer period on the display, this means
that the receipt of the signals has been interrupted. In this case
change into the
Training menu, by pressing
MENU
7 times.
The HR monitor tries to make contact with the devices once more.
Your HR watch has a memory. You can record up to 24 hours of
your training session. 10 hours of which are stored. You can record a maximum of 60 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. In the Result menu,
the last recording stopped can be called. 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”.
