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.

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.
ICON DESCRIPTION

In the event that you experience a weak signal or your signal is
disrupted by interference in the environment, follow the instructions
below to identify and resolve the situation.
If the heart icon does not appear on the display or
1. The signal is weak - the watch heart rate monitor will only show "0":
•
Shorten the distance between the heart rate chest belt and watch.
• Re-adjust the position of the heart rate chest belt.
• Check the conductive pads are moist enough to ensure solid contact.
• Check the batteries. If they are low or exhausted, the range
may be less.
• Force a signal search (see "Signal Search" section).

3. Interference from another person's heart rate monitor - their
heart rate readings appear on your watch, or the heart rate
monitor shows "0":
• Press the chest belt button to get the watch to receive your
chest belt signal. Do not press and hold the chest belt button,
as it will change the transmission signal from digital to
analog.
•Take the chest belt off for 12 seconds to automatically
change your User ID. (The watch has 4 User ID's. When
the watch receives the chest belt signal it will tell you which
User ID it has selected. Only products with a digital coding
system have User ID capability.)
4. The signal is jammed - the heart rate reading on your watch is
flashing:
• There is too much interference in the environment for your
heart rate monitor to function. Move to an area where the
heart rate reading stops flashing.
WARNING
electromagnetic disturbances. These may occur near high voltage
power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines of electric railways, electric
bus lines or trams, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some
motor driven exercise equipment, cellular phones or when you
walk through electric security gates. Under interference, the heart
rate reading may become unstable and inaccurate.

set the exercise profile.
The VIBRA Trainer Elite watch supports 1 exercise profile, whereas
the VIBRA Trainer Elite Pro watch supports 3 different exercise
profiles.
Different activities exercise the body in different ways and help
you to achieve a variety of fitness goals. To accommodate this the
exercise profile can be set to suit different exercise activities. For
example, if you are running, your exercise profile settings are likely
to differ from those you would use when undertaking a weight
training activity.
Also, the time you require to warm-up and complete an exercise
will vary. That is why you can change the warm-up and exercise
countdown time to suit you.
To set the exercise profile:

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:

ABOUT THE SMART TRAINING PROGRAM
The SMART TRAINING PROGRAM enables you to complete
exercise cycles effectively. It will guide you through from a 5-minute
warm up (default setting), to the end of your exercise program. In
addition to monitoring your heart rate and alerting you whenever
you fall out of the range for the selected training zone, the Program
allows you to check the calories consumed and the percentage of
fat burned.

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.
