TRANSMISSION FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE

Battery-operated heart rate monitors can be influenced by interference from external

radio frequencies. Electronic training devices in fitness clubs, mobile phones, battery-

operated bike computers, high-voltage lines etc. can cause irregular transmission

impulses and lead to the display showing "0" during training. When training takes

place in groups, other heart rate transmitters can overlay your signal causing an

incorrect heart rate display. To achieve correct signals, keep a distance of approx.

signals from the transmitter.

HEART RATE DISPLAY

It can take a few seconds for a heart rate to appear.

Vary the position of the transmitter if necessary to achieve optimum contact.

Fasten the heart rate monitor on your wrist.

Press any button to activate the monitor. If there is no interference the heart signal

will flash with the received transmission signals.

To achieve better skin contact, moisten the conductive transmission pad lightly with ECG

jelly (from chemist stores). Put the belt on a few minutes before starting training so that it

can warm up to body temperature. Find the best position for the belt. The contact between

the skin and the transmitter must not be interrupted when deep breaths are taken.

PUTTING ON THE TRANSMITTER AND THE HEART RATE MONITOR

The transmitter is worn on the naked skin. Set the elastic belt tight enough for the

transmitter to be pressed to your chest.

The training forms given with the different heart rate ranges are only examples. You

must discuss your personal training form with your personal heart rate ranges with

your doctor or a qualified trainer.

CAUTION!

Use your maximum heart rate (MHR) to calculate your training limit values. Contact

your doctor or your trainer to determine your maximum heart rate. If you do not know

your maximum heart rate, you can estimate it using the following formula:

MEN: 220 minus age = Maximum heart rate (MHR)

WOMEN: 230 minus age = Maximum heart rate (MHR)

Calculate the upper and lower limit values of your training form by multiplying your

maximum heart frequency by the factors listed in the following.

acoustic alarm can be set. The arrows

disappear as soon as your current value

is within the training range again.
