MSC-2Dx

USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION

Wireless Heart Rate Sensor

Main Unit

Chest Belt Heart Rate Sensor

The chest belt heart rate sensor is based on the electrocardiograph methodology used in hospitals. The MSC-2Dx uses this technology but in a simplified and miniaturized form. In this methodology, electrodes attached to the body sense the differences of electric potential and thus heart rate is measured. In the same manner, MSC-2Dx's chest belt sensor uses two built-in electrodes that come into contact with the body to detect differences in electric potential. The signal is then transmitted to the main unit and heart rate is displayed.

Reference: Maximum transmitting distance: about 90 cm.

Before Wearing Chest Belt Heart Rate Sensor

Warning !!!

Pace maker users should never use this device.

NOTE !:

• Wear the chest belt heart rate sensor at the center of your chest and in contact with your skin.

• To increase measurement effectiveness, dampen the electrode area with water or electrocardiograph electrolyte cream.

• People with sensitive skin can wear the chest belt over a thin shirt with the electrode area damped with water.

• Hair on the chest may interfere with accurate measurements.

• Do not use this unit with other cordless devices (including CATEYE CC-CL200) or some lamps (including CATEYE Stadium Light). Interference might occur, resulting in incorrect measurement.

MSC-2Dx

Wearing the Heart Rate Sensor

NOTE !: When wearing the chest belt heart rate sensor, ensure that the top mark on the transmitter comes to the top. If worn upside down, signal’s transmittable distance might become shorter.

1. Adjust the length of the belt to fit your chest.

2. Hook the attachment belt to the electrode belt. Place the electrode area at the center of your chest. Be sure that the electrode area is held firmly against your skin.

Reference: When wearing the chest belt heart rate sensor over a shirt it is necessary to

3. Adjust the belt so that the transmitter is at the center (just above your diaphragm) of your chest.

Wear the chest belt heart rate sensor in the legible way (the top mark on the transmitter should come to the top).

moisten the electrode area for the better results. In the winter season when skin can be dried, errors may occur even when the electrodes are in direct contact with your skin. This can be improved by moistening the electrodes.

SETTING THE MAIN UNIT

Setting Wheel Circumference

You can input two kinds of wheel circumferences into MSC2Dx, so it can be quickly switched between two bikes.

1. Determine the wheel circumference.

Refer to the Tire Size Reference Table below to determine your tire's circumference. For the most accurate setting you can perform a “wheel roll-out”. To do this pump your tires up to normal pressure. On a level area place the valve stem perpendicular to the ground and mark the spot. Get on the bike and with your weight bearing on the tires roll one complete wheel length forward. Mark where the valve stem is perpendicular to the ground again. Measure the distance between the two. This number in millimeters is the most accurate calibration number you can put into the computer.

Reference: The tire size is shown on the side of your tire.

2. Push AC button.

The screen will illuminate for one second and then "km/h" or "mph" will flash. Push MODE button to switch between "km/h" and "mph".

3. Push SET/AT button.

The speed scale is now set. The wheel circumference set up screen now appears. The wheel circumference icon

and the preset wheel circumference (2096) flash.

4. Change the value.

• Push MODE button to increase the number.

• Push LAP button to decrease the number.

Hold down the button for rapid advancement.

Reference:

You can easily change a value for another wheel circumfer-

at this stage.

ence Push MODE and LT buttons simultaneously to switch to

and change the value by the same procedure de-

scribed in 4.

5. Push SET/AT button.

The wheel circumference setting is completed. Elapsed Time TM function appears.

HEART RATE TRAINING

The following is very general information about heart rate training. There are many good books on the subject. Visit a local bookseller or visit our web site for more in depth heart rate training information.

In general, heart rate goes up while exercising. The harder you exercise, the faster your heart will beat. In this way, heart rate is a good indication of the exercise intensity. By setting your target heart rate and making an effort to maintain that rate, you will be able to work out more efficiently. Before starting a training program, consult a medical specialist or trainer.

1. For improving your general fitness

Bicycling is one of the best activities to improve your general fitness. To improve your overall fitness through bicycling, set your target heart rate zone from the training level of between 30% and 70%, depending on your physical strength. It is desirable to work for twenty to thirty minutes a time, at a frequency of more than three times a week. To obtain your target zone, see the table below, which illustrates the correlation between heart rate and training level. For beginners, it is recommended to start with the level of 30%. From this point, gradually increase the level according to your fitness level and experience. For a purpose of improving your health, 70% is considered to be the highest goal.

For the purpose of losing weight, work at a comparatively lower level for a longer period. For maximum benefit you will want to workout for more than one hour at a time.

2. For competitors

Measure your resting heart rate just after awakening in the morning and your maximum heart rate (perhaps during competition). Then set your target zone according to your goal:

A) For longer physical-endurance

Aiming at races which last for many hours or over consecutive days:

60% - 70% (aerobic exercise)

B) For physical-endurance which lasts about two hours

70% - 80% (aerobic exercise)

C) For pushing power at full force for about a minute

more than 85% (anaerobic exercise)

D) For instantaneous maximum power which lasts for several seconds (sprinting)

more than 95% (anaerobic exercise)

Training level (%) = x 100

Target heart rate =(Maximum heart rate - Resting heart rate)

Resting heart rate

Measure your resting heart rate when you are awake in bed in the morning.

Maximum heart rate

The following calculations are generally used: (220 – age) or (240 – 0.69 x age). For more precise figure, consult a training specialist.

(Target heart rate) – (Resting heart rate)

(Maximum heart rate) – (Resting heart rate)
