Selecting the appropriate heart rate zone conditions the heart, lungs, and
muscles to perform at optimal levels to get and keep your body in shape.
Once set, your Digital Heart Rate Monitor can automatically show you
when you are in the exercise zone you choose and signal you when you
are not. It can help keep your body exercising at an intensity level that can
help you achieve your desired fitness objectives without over- or underexercising.
WARNING:
This is not a medical device and is not recommended for use by
persons with serious heart conditions.
Interference with the radio signal, poor contact between your skin and the
Digital Heart Rate Sensor, or other factors may prevent accurate

There are five basic heart rate target zones. Simply select a percent of
maximum (%MAX) heart rate that matches your zone and the fitness goal
you want to achieve during a particular exercise.

50% to 60% Light exercise Maintain a healthy heart and get fit

Before you can set your target zone, you first need to determine your
maximum heart rate. You can use many methods to estimate your
maximum heart rate. The booklet Heart Zones
in your Personal Heart Rate Monitor packaging (U.S. customers only)
provides excellent procedures and Timex recommends you use one of
these methodologies.

However, if you cannot use any of the procedures described in Heart
Zones® Tools for Success (U.S. customers only), you might consider using
an age-based method.
Begin with the number 220 and then subtract your age. For instance, a 35
year old would begin with 220 and subtract 35 (her age), which gives an
estimated maximum heart rate of 185. Once you know your maximum
heart rate, you can set the zones described in the table on the previous
page.

Timex recommends you input this information into the HRM SETUP Mode.
This will allow you to tailor your Digital Heart Rate Monitor to your
personal parameters. For information on HRM Setup Mode, refer to pages
25 to 30.
