Heart Rate Training Zone

To achieve the maximum health benefits from your workout, it is important to know your heart rate training zone. Your training zone is your maximum upper and lower heart rate (beats per minute) during exercise. Calculate your upper and lower heart rate limit using this formula:

Men: 220 – age = MHR

Women: 230 – age = MHR

Multiply your MHR by the perc entages of the selecte d training zone. There are three training zones that are related to your MHR:

• Health Maintenance Zone (70% – 60%) — The lowest training intensity . For begi nners and those who want to strengthen their cardiovascular system.

• Aerobic Exercise Zone (80% – 70%) — Increases strength and endurance. It works within the body’s oxygen intake capability, burns more calories, and can be maintained over a longer period of time.

• Anaerobic Exercise Zone (90% – 80%) — Generates speed and power. It works at or above the body’s oxygen intake capability and builds more muscle, but cannot be maintained over a long period of time.

For example, a 30-year old female who wants to determine her aerobic exercise zone would calculate it as follows:

230 – 30 = 200 (MHR) 200 x .80 = 160 (Upper limit) 200 x .60 = 120 (Lower limit)

Step Six

Step Eight

Replacing the Batteries

Attaching the Chest Strap

1. Prior to placing the strap next to the skin, moisten the area around the battery compartment, located inside the chest strap’s padded center. For best results, moistening should be accomplis hed with conduc tive (EKG) gel.

2. Attach and adjust the chest strap as shown so that it fits snugly below the pectoral muscles across the chest. The position of the chest strap affects its performance. In dry, cold climates, it takes the heart rate chest strap a while to function steadily. This is normal.

Effective Range

The chest strap and watch start transmitting and receiving signals once batteries are in place. Both units should be worn or mounted within an effective distance of 30-45 inches. If the signals become unsteady, shorten the distance between the chest strap and watch, readjust the chest strap position, or check the batteries.

Using the Stopwatch

The stopwatch measures your exercise time, heart rate, calories burned, and fat burned during exercise. Before using the stopwatch, you must first set the target activity.

1. Repeatedly press MODE until STW , the current stopwatch time, and 9 appear.

2. Hold down SET until T and ACT appear, and the current activity score flashes.

3. Press ST/SP/+ to select your activity score (0, 1, 2).

4. Press SET. LOW ER appears andthe current heart rate zone limit flashes. Repeatedly press ST/SP/+ to select your lower heart rate limit (30–220).

5. Press SET. UPPER appears and the current heart rate zone limit flashes. Repeatedly press ST/SP/+ to selec t your up per heart rat e limit (80–240).

6. Press SET.ALERT appears and On or OFF flashes. Press ST/SP/+ to turn the alert on or off. When the alert is on, Ô appears.

7. Press SET to confirm.

8. Hold d own ST/SP/+ to start the stopwatch. Press ST/SP/+at any time to stop the stopwatch.

9. When the stopwatch stops running, repeatedly press MEM to view the time you exercised within the selected training zone, total exercise time, average heart rate, and the number of calories and percent of fat burned.

Notes:

• Make sure you fill in all the parameters. Otherwise, the calorie count and fat burned will not be available in training.

• You can leave out the heart rate limits as desired. The optimal figures are automatically selected according to the parameter inputs.

• If you choose to enter the h eart rate limit s, be sure the lower limit does not exceed the higher limit.

•

e or d flash if your lower or upper limits are exceeded. When

the alert is activated, a two-beep warning signal sounds whenever the limits are exceeded.

• The stopwatch can run in the background while using other functions (except the training program). STW flashes to indicate the stopwatch is still active.

In the Watch

1. Hold the watch firmly and use a sm all, fla t-blade s crewdrive r (not supp lied) to press the spring-bars inwards and remove the watchband.

You can skip the warm-up by holding down ST/SP/+ when the warm-up session starts. To view the calories burned and % fat burn, press SET at any time when the training program is activated.

• You can stop the training program at any time by pressing ST/SP/+. Once it is stopp ed, it can be only restarted for another training session.

• The training program can run in the background while using other functions (except stopwatch). TIM ER flashes to indicate the training program is still active.
