1 INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the HB 8M00. We hope that you will enjoy using the Heart Meter and the benefits of the wireless transmission to send/receive data to/from the controller or to PC. In exercise or sports, your heart naturally speeds up in pumping blood 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.

More information about the target heart rate zone, maximum heart rate etc... can be found on: www.topcom.net/sports/heartbeat.asp

With the data stored on your PC, you can transfer it to programs like SportTracks, Perfect Session, ...

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 heart 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.

3 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
