· Fat Burn

This training is for the aerobic energy metabolism. Thanks to the long duration and low intensity, more fat than carbohydrates is burned or converted into energy. Training in this zone will help you lose weight.

· Fit Zone

Your training is considerably more intensive in the Fitness Zone. Training in this zone enhances your basic endurance level.

7 FAQ (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND SERVICING)

What happens if I remove the chest belt during training?

The watch will no longer receive a signal. The screen will indicate “O” and after a short period of time the PC 10.11 will go into sleep mode.

Does the SIGMA heart rate monitor completely switch off?

No – only the time and date are displayed in sleep mode, so that you can also use the heart rate monitor as a normal watch. The PC 10.11 uses very little power in this state.

The display responds sluggishly or shows a black coloration, what is the reason for this?

The operating temperature may have been exceeded or fallen below. Your heart rate monitor is designed for a temperature of 0°C to 55°C.

What should I do if the display is faint?

A faint display may be the result of a weak battery. The battery should be replaced as soon as possible – battery type CR 2032 (ref. no. 00342).

Are SIGMA heart rate monitors waterproof and can they be used for swimming?

Yes – the PC 10.11 is watertight up to 3 ATM (corresponds to a test pressure of 3 bar). The PC 10.11 is suitable for swimming. Please note: Do not press the buttons underwater as water can enter the housing. Avoid using in sea water as malfunctions can occur.

US/GB

8 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Incorrect battery changes can damage the heart rate monitor and make void any warranty claims.

After a battery change, all personal details have to be reset.
