Steps to Wear the Transmitter (CS005):
1.Adjust the elastic belt for a proper length for a snug fit your body.
Attach one end of the Transmitter to the elastic belt.
2.“ALA” logo of CS005 should face outwards.
3.Buckle the CS005 to the two strap snaps.
Note: Please be sure that CS005 fit tightly with transmitter belt to avoid
slipping during your workout.
•If the device cannot receive the heart rate signal, the heart rate value
for the HRM displayed will change into zero in about 15 seconds, and
after 60 seconds the screen will automatically go to the exercise results
display. When this situation happens, please re-check whether the
Transmitter is still tight and fit with your body or whether the two electrode
areas on the reverse of the Transmitter are well moistened.

With reference to Training Intensity
The table below is for your reference to find or calculate your exercise
intensity of bpm1 (which is also called training heart rate) in the Exercise
Mode, being suit to your workout. It is estimated based on age in 5-year
intervals and calculated by the %HRmax formula.
1. Heart rate (abbreviated as “HR”) is calculated as the number of heart
beats in one minute and expressed as “beats per minute, bpm”.
2. HRmax = 220 — Age
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR), or HRmax, which is the highest number
of heart beats per minute (bpm) during maximal physical exertion.
It is frequently used to calculate THR (which is a helpful index when
prescribing your training intensity range). The most accurate way of
measuring HRM is via an Exercise Stress Test by an electrocardiogram
(ECG) in the laboratory with the presence of experts or doctors. Instead,
“Age Formula” is the common way to estimate MHR.

3. %HRmax = Target Heart Rate = percentage of exercise intensity (%) ×
HRmax
Target Heart Rate (THR), or Training Heart Rate, which is a desired
range of heart rate reached during aerobic exercise for one’s heart and
lungs to receive the most benefit from a workout. You can calculate the
limits of the lower and upper range for THR via the “%HRmax Formula”.
4. The individual which has less physical strength would be suggested to
exercise with the Light zone, and its lower limit may reach lower than
60%HRmax.

VO2max Test (Maximal Aerobic Power)
Your own VO2max value is displayed on the screen by automatic
calculations, which is the last option at the back of HR Alarm.
VO2max (Maximal Oxygen Uptake) is also called Maximal Aerobic
Power. It is a common description for the assessment of one’s physical
fitness of cardiorespiratory endurance (CR Fitness). CR Fitness refers to
cardio-pulmonary vascular system in the body of oxygen transport and the
use of physical activity as the ability to use.
If you have the right to complete the set of personal data, this watch will
automatically estimate your Maximal Aerobic Power and display the results
on the screen. To be able to get more accurate VO2max value, you can
perform the VO2max Test by this watch.
Please refer to the following notes and steps to have the VO2max Test.
1. Please see the steps on page 9 to place the Transmitter below your chest
and make sure you feed data into the User Settings completely and
correctly, before the test also pay attention on the following details:
1-1. No smoking and excess food in 2~3 hours before the test. The day
before the test, avoid alcohol beverages, medicament and heavy
physical effort.
1-2. The test should be performed at a quiet environment without
disturbing noises, such as TV, telephone, radio, people talking and
etc.
1-3. In order to effectively receive your heart rate, please make sure the
transmitter is well fit on your body and well moistened with water.
1-4. Lie down and relax for 1~2 minutes before the test.
1-5. The VO2max Test takes about 3~5 minutes. Be suggested to keep
your body lay flat, limit body movements or talk with people when
you are in the test.
2. Go on the following steps for taking the VO2max Test:
2-1. In the window of VO2max value , please refer to the Physical
Activity Status Scale (PAR) and use C or D to switch the screen for
picking an ACT grade* from 00 to 10.
2-2. Then press B to start the test.
2-3. When the test is in process if you want to discontinue, press A to
skip the test.
