MAXIMUM HEART RATE
It is important you know your maximum heart rate
(MHR) training zone, upper heart rate limit and
lower heart rate limit before you begin. They help
you achieve the maximum health benefits out of
your workout. MHR is expressed in beats per minute.
Use the following formula to estimate your MHR:
Men 220 - age = MHR
Women 230 - age = MHR
There are several training zones that produce specific
results in your fitness program. The most common
zones range between 50% to 80% of your MHR.
This is where you achieve cardiovascular benefits,
burn fat, and become more physically fit. When
setting your watch, the lowest % of the zone you
choose becomes your lower heart rate limit and the
highest % becomes the upper heart rate limit.
Moderate Activity
Weight Management Zone
Aerobic Zone
Anaerobic Threshold Zone
Red Line Zone (maximum capacity)
50%
60%
70%
80%
90%
100%
Calculate the lower and upper heart rate limits by
multiplying your MHR by the percentages for the
selected training zone.
For example:
40-year-old man training for Weight Management.
His Lower Heart Rate Limit (220-40) x 60% = 108
His Upper Heart Rate Limit (220-40) x 70% = 126
30-year-old woman training for Aerobic Zone.
Her Lower Heart Rate Limit (230-30) x 70% = 140
Her Upper Heart Rate Limit (230-30) x 80% = 160

Determining your individual training zone is a critical
step in the process toward a safe and efficient training.
Start slowly. Select the training zone most suitable for
your needs. Exercise regularly for 20 to 30 minutes,
three to four times a week for a healthier cardiovascular
system. Gradually step up your training zone as you
become more physically fit.
TRAINING ZONES
• The Weight Management zone has the
lowest training intensity. This zone is good for
beginners and those who want to strengthen their
cardiovascular systems.
• The Aerobic zone increases strength and endurance.
It works within the body’s oxygen intake capability,
burns more calories and can last longer.
• The Anaerobic Threshold zone generates speed
and power. It works at or above the body’s oxygen
intake capability, builds more muscle and cannot
be maintained for a long time.
WARNING
Consult your physician or healthcare provider to help
you determine your maximum heart rate, upper and
lower limits, the exercise frequency and duration
appropriate for you and your specific goals.

THE RECEIVER
The receiver wrist monitor can be worn on your
left or right wrist. You can also choose to attach the
monitor to your bike or exercise machine by using
the mounting bracket.
The HR-100C is water-resistant and can be worn
swimming or diving up to approximately 30 meters.
Note: Set the unit prior to using in the water or
exposing to excessive water. Activating or changing
the settings while in water or exposed to heavy
rainstorms may damage the unit.
The Transmitter and Receiver Wrist Monitor should
be worn or mounted within 50 centimeters (20 inches)
from each other.
Note: If no signal is sent from the transmitter to the
receiver for 15 minutes the monitor will display the
previous mode.
WATER RESISTANCE
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the signals become unsteady re-adjust the position
of the transmitter strap and make sure the distance
between the transmitter and receiver is within the
effective range.
Make sure the low battery indicator light is not
displayed on the receiver.
The transmitter battery may need to be replaced.

Lithium battery. When the battery is running low the
low-battery indicator will light up. To guarantee the
water resistance take the monitor to a local jewelry
store for battery replacement. Improper replacement
will void the warranty.
The Transmitter uses a CR2032, 3V Lithium battery.
If the heart rate signals become unsteady or stop
your transmitter battery may need replacing.
To change the Transmitter battery:
1. Open the transmitter battery lid with a coin by
turning counterclockwise.
2. Remove the old battery.
3. Insert the new battery with the positive side
facing up. DO NOT touch the contacts.
