Caution

Before you begin your exercise
programme, get an assessment

of your overall fitness level.
You are advised to get
clearance from your doctor that

it is safe for you to exercise.

Important Tips

1- You must make a long press
of MODE in any main screen
before you can get a heart rate

reading.
2- If you get into a set up

screen by mistake, a press and
release of MODE takes you
back to a main screen.

Successive presses of MODE
will scroll you through all main
screens.

3- For proper heart rate
readings, it is essential that

there is sufficient moisture
(water) between the electrodes
on the transmitter and your

skin. Insufficient moisture can
cause no reading, frozen
readings or erratic readings.

4- When using a wireless heart
rate monitor near computers,

electric motors, high voltage
power lines, televisions, other
heart rate monitors and mobile

phones, erratic readings may
occur.

5- You can wear the Fusion
monitor when swimming, but

do not push any of the buttons
while the receiver (watch) is

underwater.

Putting on the transmitter

· Attach one end of the
adjustable elastic strap to the
transmitter.

· Moisten the rubber electrodes
of the belt with either water

or saliva as shown.

· Position the transmitter on
the chest just below the

breastbone, with the
Cardiosport logo the right
way up.

· Pass the elastic strap around
your chest and attach to the

other end of the transmitter.

· Adjust the strap to give a

close but comfortable fit.

About your Cardiosport
System 122 Digital heart

rate monitor

The Cardiosport digital
telemetry technology utilises a
safe 122kHz low frequency

system designed to deliver
reliable coded heart rate
information, so all you have to

concentrate on is getting the
most from your exercise.

Each time you put on your
chest transmitter and then
press the MODE key until the

Heart symbol appears, a code
is randomly selected and
transmitted to the watch

receiver, thereafter the watch
will lock on to this code plus
the transmission interval to

create an interlock. The code
combined with the precise
transmission interval results in

the unique interlocking pairing
between the chest transmitter
and watch.

The interlock code can be
displayed by pressing and

holding down the scan/rev key
until the word CODE and a
number appears on the screen.

During the interlock process
you should be at least 6 feet

(1.8 metres) away from other

Cardiosport System 122 heart
rate monitors. If the interlock

is lost for any reason, the
watch will beep once to alert

you and the heart rate display
will go to Zero, in this case you
should repeat the interlock

process.
Once the interlock is

established, you can exercise in
close proximity with other
heart rate monitors safe in the

knowledge that your monitor
will display only your own heart
rate only, not the heart rate of

those around you.

Quick Start
Fusion 20/30 have a variety

of features. To set these up
you will need to read the

instructions. However, if you
just want to see how the heart
rate feature works, follow these

steps:

Setting heart rate recovery
(HRR)

Fusion 30 automatically
measures HRR. HRR refers to
the time it takes for your heart

rate to drop from the preset
high to the preset low recovery
limit after you have finished

your workout. In general, as
your recovery time decreases,
your fitness level is improving.

However, it is recommended
that you experiment with
values that will make the

recovery time a useful number
for your application. It is only a
comparative value with your

earlier efforts, and not a
meaningful number it itself.

8

Press SELECT to move to HRR
high.

Press and release ST./FWD to
increase or SCAN to decrease,

to set the required number.

Note: it is suggested that this
be set 5 bpm below the heart
zone high limit.

Press SELECT to move to HRR
low.

Press and release ST./FWD to
increase or SCAN to decrease,

to set the required number.

Note: as a guideline, note what
your heart rate drops to at the

end of your workout after 2
minutes (using the stopwatch),

and use this value as your HRR
low setting.

Setting the calorie counter

The calorie counter shows the
number of calories burnt during

exercise, using heart rate
intensity. You need to enter

· your Ambient Heart Rate
(AHR) value - this is your
typical heart rate at rest

before starting exercise

· your weight

· your age

Note: You can also use the
Quick Set feature in the main

calorie screen to set AHR (see

Using Scan
Current session scan

When heart rate is on, a press
and release of SCAN in any
main screen starts a scan

through the maximum, average
and minimum heart rates (3
seconds for each) since heart

rate was switched on.
A press and release of SCAN

during the scan takes you back
to the main screen you were in.

Previous session scan

In any main screen, a press
and release of SCAN starts a

single scan through maximum,
average and minimum heart
rate for the previous session.

This is stored in memory, and
cleared automatically when

heart rate is next switched on.

The following functions are
featured in Fusion 30.

Using Time in Zone (TiZ)

Press MODE until the TiZ icon
appears.

Time in Zone is a heart rate
controlled feature that displays
the amount of time you have

spent in your heart zone.

Typically, exercise programmes
comprise a warm-up, workout

for a specified time (in a zone)
and cool down. The TiZ feature

can be used to show the time
in your zone as you actually
workout.

If you go above or below your
zone, the timer will stop until

you are back in your zone.

Using the Calorie Counter

Press MODE until the Cal icon
appears.

The calorie counter starts
automatically once heart rate is
turned on.

To reset calories to zero, press
and hold ST./FWD until the

display shows zero.

Note: if you just want the
calories for your actual

workout, reset just as you
begin the session.

Calorie Counter Ambient
Heart Rate (AHR) Quick set

Fusion 30 has a quick set
feature, allowing you to set
your AHR quickly just before

you begin your workout.

12

Calories will be counted from 5
bpm above this value.

You need to be wearing the
transmitter and monitor, and

have heart rate switched on.
Move to the Cal main screen.

Press and hold SCAN to set the
current displayed heart rate as

your AHR.

Note: if your heart rate is
above 120bpm, the monitor
will default to the setting

already stored.

Training with your Impulse
HRM

Exercising at the right heart
rate intensity, is key to

meeting your fitness and
performance goals. The first
step is to find out your

maximum heart rate (MHR).
Using a formula based on age
or taking a sport-specific

exercise assessment does this.
The formulas:

- Sedentary individuals use
220 minus your age to

calculate your approximate
maximum.

- If you exercise/train
aerobically 3 or more times a

week, use 205 minus half
your age.

Example for a person aged 30
220-30=190 beats per minute

(bpm)

Intensity of Exercise

If you are a beginner with the
goal of improving overall

fitness, losing weight or
reducing stress, exercise in the
healthy heart zone, which is

50-59 percent of your
maximum heart rate.

If you already exercise
regularly and are aiming to
lose body fat, exercise in the

fat burning zone, which is 60­69 percent of your maximum
heart rate.

If your goal is to improve
aerobic capacity or athletic

performance, exercise in the
aerobic zone, which is 70-79
percent of your maximum

heart rate.
Competitive athletes usually

incorporate interval training
sessions into their programme
in the anaerobic threshold

zone, which is usually between
80-89 percent of maximum
heart rate. This high intensity

13

exercise helps train muscles to
handle lactic acid. It is

advisable to structure these
sessions.

However, train sensibly at the
upper limits. Exercising

regularly at a heart rate
intensity that is too high does
not produce additional aerobic

benefits and increases the
possibility of an athletic injury.

Example: Taking a 30 year old
just starting on an exercise
programme with the aim of

getting fitter would start
exercising at a gentle intensity
of 50-59% of MHR (50% of

190=95 bpm, 59% of
190=112bpm). If they wanted
to lose weight, then a slightly

higher intensity of 60-69%
MHR (114 to 131 bpm) would
be required. If the same 30

year old is already fit and
wants to improve aerobic
capacity or athletic

performance, a higher intensity
of 70-79% MHR (133 to 150
bpm) is required. If interval

training sessions is
incorporated into the training
programme, this should be

done in the anaerobic threshold

zone, which lies between 80­89% MHR (152 to 169 bpm).

The F.I.T.T Method

(Frequency, Intensity, Time
and Type of exercise)

Frequency of Exercise

Exercise in the zone that you
have set at least 3-5 times per

week, with no more than 48
hours between sessions. Even
on 'rest days' gentle exercise

such as a leisurely walk can be
beneficial.

Intensity of Exercise

Select a zone that is both
within your capability and in

which you can achieve
consistency. Studies show that
people who exercise at too high

an intensity, especially in the
initial stages of their
programme, drop out sooner,

have more injuries and tend to
develop a negative impression
towards exercise in general. If

necessary, start in lower zone.

Time exercising

Aim for 20-60 minutes of
continuous exercise in your

14

zone each session. If you are
unable to do 20 minutes

initially, gradually build up to
this.

Type of exercise

Choose activities that use large
muscle groups and which are

continuous. Some good
examples are walking,

swimming, running, aerobic
dance, stepper and ski
machines, treadmills, cycling

and exercise bikes. Feel free to
include more than one activity

- perhaps cycle one day, swim

the next and do an aerobics
class on the third.

Looking after your Fusion

Thoroughly wipe and dry your
monitor and transmitter after

use.
Store in a cool dry place.

Do not expose to direct
sunlight or temperatures above

122 degrees Fahrenheit (50°C)
or below 14 degrees Fahrenheit
(-10°C).

The elastic chest strap can be
washed on a 30°C cycle.

Troubleshooting

What if the heart rate
reading is erratic or totally

absent?

1- Make sure the chest

transmitter is sufficiently
tight. The transmitter should
be positioned and the elastic

strap tightened so that the
electrodes are flat against
your skin.

Adjust the transmitter side
to side or slightly up or
down until it is positioned

correctly, and the electrodes
make good contact with
your skin.

2- Make sure the transmitter

electrodes are sufficiently
moist. Moisten the

electrodes with water, saliva
or electrode gel.
Accumulated sweat or dirt

on the electrodes may
impair electrical contact, so
make sure they are kept

clean.

3- Make sure you have

switched heart rate on, with
a long press and hold of

MODE in any main screen.

15

What if the heart rate
reading becomes extremely

high?

Electromagnetic signals from
outside sources may cause
abnormally high heart rate

readings. Common sources of
electromagnetic signals are
high voltage power lines,

electric motors and mobile
phones. Your heart rate should
return to normal once you

move away from the source.
