Overview
Congratulations!
The Ironman®Triathlon®Digital Heart Rate Monitor is like hiring a personal
trainer. This high-tech tool is designed for demanding athletes like you to
measure how you track against your workout goals and offers you the
ability to track, store, and analyze key indicators of your personal fitness
level for up to 50 laps.
You will find your Heart Rate Monitor is a user-friendly fitness tool. But,
like any new device, you should take the time to familiarize yourself with
its components to optimize its usefulness.
So, check out the features and functions of your Heart Rate Monitor to
develop a basic understanding of this fitness tool. But most of all, enjoy
your new partner on the road to increased fitness!
Features
The Ironman®Triathlon®Digital Heart Rate Monitor features a 10-workout
memory that gathers elapsed time and heart rate data when you run its
chronograph or interval timer. What makes this interval timer unique is
that each of the linked segments can be set for both heart rate zone and
duration, so your workout can incorporate time-and-effort training
guidance - just like having a coach on your wrist.
1
In addition to standard heart rate monitor features, your Ironman
®
Triathlon®Digital Heart Rate Monitor allows you to lock one or more of
your workouts to reduce accidental deletion.
The watch also has an optional two-way wireless communication link
called the Timex Data Xchanger. With two-way communication, you can
upload data from the watch to a computer or download settings from a
computer to the watch. The radio provides seamless digital wireless
communication, reliable connections, and data transmissions between the
watch and applicable ANT+™devices.
A Fit Heart
Recent fitness findings indicate that anyone can get fit and stay fit without
being overzealous. It can be as simple as:
Exercising 3 to 4 times per week.
Exercising for 30 to 45 minutes during each exercise session.
Exercising at the appropriate heart rate.
Heart rate represents the effects of exercise on all parts of the body.
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.
Your Heart Rate Monitor can 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 under-exercising.

WARNING:
This is not a medical device and is not recommended for use by
persons with serious heart conditions. Consult your physician
before beginning any exercise program.
Interference with the radio signal, poor contact between your skin and the Digital
Heart Rate Sensor, or other factors may prevent accurate transmission of heart rate
data.

Health & Fitness
Determining Your Optimal Heart Rate Zone
Zone % Goal Benefit
1 50% to 60% Light exercise
2 60% to 70% Weight management Lose weight and burn fat
3 70% to 80% Aerobic base building
4 80% to 90% Optimal conditioning
5 90% to 100% Elite athletic training
There are five basic heart rate target zones described in the table above.
Simply select a zone that matches your percent of maximum (%) heart rate
based on the fitness goal you want to achieve during a particular exercise.
Before you can set your 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®Tools For Success included in your Heart Rate
Monitor packaging (U.S. customers only) provides excellent procedures
and Timex recommends you use one of these methodologies.
You might consider using the government recommended age-based method.
Maintain a healthy heart and
get fit

endurance

condition
Achieve superb athletic
condition
7
Begin with the number 220 and then subtract your age. For instance, a
35 year old would begin with 220 and subtract 35 (the person’s age),
which gives an estimated maximum heart rate of 185. Once you know
your maximum heart rate, you can enter it in HRM Setup Mode and the
watch will automatically setup your zones as described in the table on the
previous page.
Heart Rate Monitor Setup and Use
Chrono and Interval Timer Modes collect heart rate data and record
detailed statistics for a workout. The Heart Rate Monitor can store
information for up to 10 workouts.
NOTE: The watch will collect heart rate data without the Chrono or Interval
Timer running. This information will not be available in Review Mode, but
can be transferred from the watch to a computer (Timex®Data Xchanger
USB device is required). If you have the optional USB device, you can
upload workout data to a computer for storage and viewing. When the
watch can store less than five hours, or only three more sessions, of heart
rate data, the watch will display the MEMORY LOW message. When the
watch has reached its storage capacity limits, the display will read
MEMORY FULL.
When the watch is not used with a computer these messages will be
skipped. Unless you lock a workout, you will automatically over-write an
older workout when you have reached your 10-workout limit.

Prepare Your Heart Rate Monitor for First Use
Once you have determined your fitness goals and maximum heart rate,
Timex recommends you pair the watch with your Heart Rate Sensor, set
the time, and set other important data in HRM Setup Mode before using
your Heart Rate Monitor.
Note: For best results, Timex recommends that you wash your heart rate
sensor in warm soapy water to remove any manufacturing oils before
using for the first time.
Pairing the Watch and Heart Rate Sensor: Timex recommends that
you pair the Heart Rate Sensor and watch to minimize the possibility of
picking up a signal from another person’s Heart Rate Sensor. To
accurately pair the watch with the Heart Rate Sensor, go immediately
to HRM Setup Mode prior to stopping at or using any other mode. For
more information on “Device Pairing” see the Table of Contents under
HRM setup.
Setting the Time of Day: The Heart Rate Monitor uses the time set on
the watch to record data. To ensure you are recording data at the
correct time, set the watch for your local time in Time of Day Mode.
For more information on Time of Day Mode see its section in the Table
of Contents.
Entering Your Personal Data: Before using your watch it is important
to enter your weight and maximum heart rate in HRM Setup Mode.
This will allow you to tailor your Heart Rate Monitor to your personal
9
parameters. For more information see the “Personal Data” section in
the Table of Contents under HRM setup.
Use Your Heart Rate Monitor
1. Thoroughly wet the Heart Rate sensor pads under
running tap water (2-3 seconds per pad). If
necessary, use a heart rate monitor electrode gel for
better contact.
2. Center the Sensor on your chest with the Timex
logo facing up and out and fasten it firmly, just
below your sternum.
3. Press the MODE button until your desired mode appears. You can view
heart rate information in Time of Day, Chrono, Interval Timer, or Timer
Modes.
4. Press the HEART RATE button on your watch. The antenna icon will
appear on the display indicating the watch is searching for a signal
from the Heart Rate Sensor. When the watch begins receiving a signal,
a pulsing heart icon will appear on the display. In certain modes, the
watch will automatically search for a Heart Rate Sensor when you
enter the mode.
NOTE: The watch automatically records your heart rate and other
statistical data about your workout (available in Review Mode) when
you use Chrono and Interval Timer Modes.
10

5. Press the START/SPLIT button and begin your workout.
6. If the watch is set to alert you when you go above or below your
chosen target heart rate zone press and hold HEART RATE to turn the
audible alert off. Otherwise it will continue beeping until you return to
your target zone. When you are turning the audible alert off, you will
see the message HOLD FOR ALERT OFF. Conversely, when turning the
audible alert on, you will see the message HOLD FOR ALERT ON.
7. When you have finished your workout, press the STOP/RESET/SET
button to stop recording data for the workout if you are using Chrono
or Interval Timer Modes.
8. Remove the Heart Rate Sensor from your chest and the watch will stop
recording further heart rate data in approximately one minute.
9. Press MODE until you see Review Mode. This Mode includes heart rate
and other statistical data about your workout.
Note: Thoroughly clean your Heart Rate Sensor to maintain its
performance. The FLEX TECH™ strap can be machine washed in cold
water with the transmitter removed. Hang it to dry away from direct heat
or sunlight. Dry the metal contacts on the transmitter and the strap to
prevent corrosion.
11
