1 INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the HB 6M00. We hope that you will
enjoy using the heart meter and the benefits it o ffers. In e xercise or sports,
your heart naturally speeds up in pumping bl ood to the body in acco rdance
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 6M00 watch supports 5 user
modes:

1. Current time mode

2. Dual time

3. Chronograph mode

4. Countdown timer mode

5. Exercise mode

2SAFETY 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 tr ainer 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.

See “6.7 System settings (7 - 9)” for detailed pairing operation.

9 HEARTBEAT MEASUREMENT

9.1 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.

9.2 USING THE TRANSMITTER BELT

Fasten the fastener at one end. Try the chest bel t on 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
sensor clings to your chest and touches the skin.

The chest belt has to be worn while using the heart rate function.

9.3 EXERCISE ZONES

Exercise zones are established by setting the upper and lower heart rate
limits. These limits constitute a certain percentage of your estimated
maximum heart rate (EMHR).
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.

There are 4 heart rate alert
zones, zone 1 -4:

• Zone 1- 3 are predefined as
shown in the table above:
Zone 1= health
Zone 2 = fitness
Zone 3 = performance

• Zone 4 can be user defined.
