SE212 English R7 OP_OK.p65 2006.1.6, 1:53 AM10

WEARING THE CHEST BELT AND WATCH

CHEST BELT

The heart rate chest belt is used to count your heartbeat and transmit the data to the watch. To wear the chest belt:

1. Wet the conductive pads on the underside of the chest belt

with a few drops of water or a conductive gel to ensure solid contact.

2. Strap the heart rate chest belt across your chest. To ensure

an accurate heart rate signal, adjust the strap until the belt sits snugly below your pectoral muscles.

TIPS

• The position of the chest belt affects its performance. Move

the chest belt along the strap so that it falls above your heart.

•Avoid areas with dense chest hair.

• In dry, cold climates, it may take several minutes for the chest

belt to function steadily. This is normal and should improve with several minutes of exercise.

If the watch is kept idle without receiving a heart rate signal

NOTE

for 5 minutes, the Heart Rate Mode will quit and return to Clock Mode.

WATCH

You can wear the receiver watch on your wrist or strap it to a bike or exercise machine, as shown below.

SE212 English R7 OP_OK.p65 2006.1.6, 1:53 AM11

TRANSMISSION SIGNAL

The heart rate chest belt and watch have a maximum transmission range of about 62.5 centimetres (25 inches). They are equipped with the latest digital coding system to reduce signal interference from the environment, as well as analog technology. For more accurate readings use the digital transmission signal. You should only switch to the analog transmission signal if the situation in point 2 occurs (see below). Your watch will advise you which system it is using and the signal status by displaying the following icons:

NOTE

Whenever the watch is searching for the chest belt signal (manual or automatic search), make sure that the chest belt is no further than 10 cm (4 inches) from the watch.

heavy physical exercise (such as running, jogging, swimming, cycling, or skipping rope) or engage in vigorous aerobic exercise (such as tennis, basketball or handball).

ABOUT THE FITNESS / BODY MASS INDEX

FITNESS INDEX

Your VIBRA Trainer Elite and VIBRA Trainer Elite Pro watch will generate a fitness index based on your aerobic fitness. This index is dependent and limited by the body's ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles in training. It is often measured by maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 Max), which is defined as the highest amount of oxygen that can be utilized when exercising at an increasingly demanding level. The lungs, heart, blood, circulatory system, and working muscles are all factors in determined VO2 Max. The unit of VO2 Max is ml/kg min.

The higher the index, the fitter you are. See the tables below for a rough guide to what your fitness index means:

RECOVERY HEART RATE (VIBRA TRAINER ELITE PRO ONLY)

Your recovery heart is a good indication of cardiovascular fitness. The faster your heart rate recovers after exercise, the better shape you are in. The watch uses a time-based recovery method, which checks your recovery heart rate 3 minutes after exercise.

Compare your recovery heart rate between exercise sessions to track the effect your exercise is having.

TRAINING INFORMATION

HOW THE HEART RATE MONITOR HELPS YOU

A heart rate monitor is the most important tool in cardiovascular health and an ideal training partner. It enables you to see and monitor results. This helps you assess your past performance, maximise your work out and adapt your future exercise program to achieve your desired goals in a safer and more effective way.

When you exercise, the chest belt picks up your heartbeat and sends it to the watch. Now you can view your heart rate and start monitoring your performance based on your heart rate readings. As you get fitter, your heart will need to do less work and the speed of your heart rate will decrease. The reason for this is as follows:

•Your heart pumps blood to your lungs to obtain oxygen.

Then, the oxygen rich blood will travel to your muscles. The oxygen is used as fuel and the blood leaves the muscles and returns to the lungs to begin the process again. As you get fit, your heart is able to pump more blood with every beat. As a result, your heart doesn't have to beat as often to get the necessary oxygen to your muscles.

TRAINING TIPS

To gain the maximum benefit from your training program, and to ensure that you exercise safely, please observe the following guidelines:

• Start with a well-defined training goal, such as to lose weight, keep fit, improve health or compete in a sporting event.

• Select a training activity you enjoy, and vary your training activities to exercise different muscle groups.

• Start slowly, and then gradually step up your work out as you become fitter. Exercise regularly. To maintain a healthy cardio-vascular system, 20-30 minutes three times a week is recommended.

• Always allow at least five minutes before and after exercising for warm-up and cool-down.

• Measure your pulse after training. Then repeat the procedure again after three minutes. If it does not return to its normal resting rate, you may have trained too hard.

• Always check with your doctor before starting a vigorous training program.
