NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE

This CW T500 heart rate monitor is made up of a watch and a chest strap. The watch is designed to be worn on the wrist or placed on its bicycle mount during various sporting activities, in a temperate climate. It allows the user to display various items of information and to access its functions, such as the stopwatch, using the buttons. The chest strap must be positioned on the thorax. When correctly placed it transmits heart rate data to the watch. When placed in its cradle (see diagram), the watch displays your heart rate and various additional items of information (target zone, exercise intensity, etc) to manage and maximise your fitness regime or your training.

The chest strap does not have a coded transmitter. Interchanges of information may occur if you are close (around 1m) to other heart rate monitor users.

USAGE RESTRICTIONS

Recommendations for use :

• Handle the product with care - do not drop it or subject it to strong impacts.

• Do not dismantle the watch. This would void the warranty and could cause damage and loss of waterproofing.

• Do not subject the watch to extreme temperatures. If the watch is exposed to the sun for too long, the display may darken temporarily, before returning to normal when it has cooled down.

• Only clean the watch using a soft damp cloth. Do not use detergents, as these may damage the watch equipment. Only the elastic part of the strap may be machine washed (30°).

Waterproof design :

This watch is waterproof to 5 ATM. It can therefore be used in wet conditions, in heavy rain, in the shower or when swimming. However, you must not dive when wearing it, or swim to depths greater than 5m. Do not press the buttons under water. The chest strap is only “water resistant”. This means it is impermeable to sweat and can be worn in the rain and under wet clothing, but should not be worn in the shower or when swimming.

Warning !

This product is designed for sports and leisure activities. It is not a medical device. The information given by the device or in this booklet is merely for information purposes and must only be used to monitor medical progress after consultation with and the agreement of your doctor. Likewise, healthy athletes should bear in mind that determining maximum heart rates and personal training goals are vital elements of an effective and risk-free training programme. It is recommended that you seek the advice of your doctor or health professional to set a maximum heart rhythm, your upper and lower rates, and an exercise frequency and duration suited to your age, physical condition and desired results. Finally, because of possible disturbances caused by the radio transmission system, we advise that users of pacemakers do not use a heart rate monitor which uses this technology, such as the CW T500. Failure to comply with these recommendations may cause a fatal risk.

FIRST USE

Before using your CW T500 heart rate monitor, read the instructions carefully and follow the setting procedures closely.
