IMPORTANT NOTES
Please carefully read through these operating instructions, keep it
for future reference and also make it available to others.
Training
 This product is not a therapeutic device. It is a training instrument,
which was developed for the measurement and representation of
the human heart rate.
 With high-risk sports, please note that the use of the heart rate
monitor can represent an additional source of injury.
 If in doubt or for illnesses, please consult your doctor concerning
the values of your upper and lower target heart rate as well as the
duration and frequency of training. In such a way, you can
achieve optimal results when training.
 WARNING: People suffering from heart and circulatory illnesses
or those with pacemakers should only use this heart rate monitor
after having consulted their doctor.
Application
 The device is only intended for private use.
 This device may only be used for the purpose it was designed for
and in the manner outlined in this operating instructions. Any form
of improper use can be dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable
for damages that are caused by improper or incorrect use.
 The heart rate monitor is waterproof. (see chapter "Technical
Specifications")

Cleaning and care
 From time to time, carefully clean your chest strap, elastic chest
strap, heart rate monitor and if necessary the Speedbox with a
soap and water solution. Then rinse off all components with clean
water. Carefully dry them with a soft towel. You can wash the
elastic chest strap in the washing machine at 30° without fabric
softener. The chest strap is not made for the dryer!
 Store the chest strap in a clean and dry place. Dirt impairs the
elasticity and functioning of the transmitter. Sweat and moisture
can keep the electrodes wet and consequently activate the
transmitter, which shortens battery life.
Repair, Accessories and Disposal
 Prior to use, it should be ensured that the device and accessories
are free of damage. If in doubt, do not use the device and consult
your sales representative or the customer service address pro-
vided.
 Repairs may only be conducted by customer service or author-
ized dealers. Please do not in any case attempt to repair the de-
vice!
 Use the device only with the original accessories of Beurer.
 Avoid contact with sunscreen or the like since these can cause
damage to the imprint or plastic components.
 Please dispose of the device in accordance with Waste
Electric and Electronic Equipment 2002/96/EC - WEEE.
For inquiries, please contact the municipal authority re-
sponsible for disposal in your area.

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR TRAINING
This heart rate monitor serves to measure the human pulse. By
means of various settings, you can support your individual training
program and monitor your pulse. You should monitor your pulse
during exercise because you should prevent your heart from exces-
sive strain on the one hand and on the other in order to achieve the
optimal training results. The table provides you with some informa-
tion on the selection of your training zone. The maximum heart rate
reduces with advancing age. Information on the training heart rate
must therefore always be in relation to the maximum heart rate. The
following rule of thumb helps to identify the maximum heart rate:
220 - age = maximum heart rate
The following example applies to a 40-year-old person: 220-40 = 180

Analysis of the Training
With the PC software EasyFit you can acquire the results from the
watch and analyze them in various ways. In addition, EasyFit pro-
vides useful calendar and administrative functions, which also sup-
port optimal training over longer periods of time. Using the software,
you can also control and monitor your weight management.

TRANSMISSION OF SIGNAL AND METHODS OF DEVICES MEAS-
UREMENT
Receiving range of the heart rate monitor
Your heart rate monitor picks up the heart rate signals sent by the
chest strap transmitter within a range of 70 centimeters.
Your HR monitor receives the signals from the Speedbox within a
range of three meters.
Sensors on the chest strap
The entire chest strap consists of two components: the actual chest
strap and an elastic tension belt. On the inside of the chest strap
contacting the body, there are two rectangular, corrugated sensors.
Both sensors determine your heart rate ECG exactly and transmit
this to the heart rate monitor.
The digital transmission works almost without interference. Your HR
monitor only receives the signal from the corresponding transmitter.
There can be no interfering signals from other transmitters.
The chest strap is not compatible with analogue devices, such as
e.g. ergometers.
Signal transmission from the diagnostic scale
The Beurer Diagnostic Scales BG56 are also available at special-
ised dealers and offer additional options for comprehensive weight
management. You can measure your current weight and your body
fat at any time with the scale and transmit them to the HR monitor.
The weight values registered manually in the HR monitor are then
updated by the values of the scale.
