1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the HB 4M00. We hope that you will enjoy using the Heart Meter and the benefits it offers. In exercise or sports, your heart naturally speeds up in pumping b lood to the body in accordance with the increased energy level. The Heart Meter can calculate this increase expressed as the number of beats per minute (bpm) to determine a target heart rate safe for each individual. The HB 4M00 watch supports 5 user modes:
1. Current time mode
2. Alarm mode
3. Chronograph mode
4. Countdown timer mode
5. Heart rate mode
2 SAFETY NOTES
Using a Heart Monitor is NOT a substitute for professional medical attention. If you suffer from heart disorder , illness or have recently taken up fitness training, it is advisable that you seek a doctor or talk to your trainer and work out a fitness plan that suits you. The watch should only be used as a guide in maintaining a safe h eart beat rate for exercises. It should NOT be relied upon as a medical heart rate monitor. If you are uncertain about how your exercise program will impact on your heart, please consult a physician.

10 HEARTBEAT MEASUREMENT
10.1 PRECAUTIONS
• Avoid fastening the strap too tight.
• Do not bend or fold the chest belt for preventing damage.
• Wetting the skin, where there is contact with the conductive area of the chest belt will improve the conduction and get a more stable sig­nal.
• The physical condition of an individual might effect the intensity of measured signal.
• Avoid using the heart rate monitor close to a trolley car, a tram stop, transformer, electric sub stati on and high- tension distribution line s etc. The radio signal will be affected under influence of the environment from high voltage and strong electromagnetic fields.
10.2 USING THE TRANSMITTER BELT.
Fasten the fastener at one end. Try the chest belt o n your chest and loosen the stretch band if necessary.
Adjust the length of the stretch band until it feels conformable. The stretch band must cling to the chest. Fasten the fastener at the other end. Adjust the sensor to the center of your chest and be sure the backside of the

10.3 EXERCISE ZONES
Exercise zones are established by setting the Upper and Lower Heart Rate Limits. These limits constitute a certain percentage of your Ma ximum Heart Rate (MHR). The following formula will help you to make an educated guess:
Use the following Heart Rate Zone Chart to select the zone you wish to exercise in. You should consult a medical professional when selecting
a training zone, especially if you have a heart condition.
