INTRODUCTION
Track Your Activity Accurately
The CSX C536X heart rate monitor wristwatch is an indispensable training tool.
Knowing exactly how fast your heart is beating ensures that you are training at
precisely the right level of intensity to maximize your training results. Exercising too
hard, or not hard enough can reduce the effectiveness of your workouts.
Technology for Optimum Training
Achieve your goals; if you want to improve your baseline aerobic fitness, you need to
work at your aerobic threshold whereas if you want to increase your high end
aerobic fitness, you need to work at your anaerobic threshold. Both of these
thresholds are individual and are best identified by your exercising heart rate.
The C536X will automatically calculate your training zones and maximum heart rate
based on your date of birth. Simply select the training zone you require and the
C536X will inform you while you are training with an alarm and LED indicator to make
sure you are training in the correct zone and at the optimum heart rate level.
If you need to fine-tune your training zone, you can customize the training zone and
the maximum heart rate to suit your own personal fitness level.
Monitor & Reach Your Goals
Track your calories and fat burnt, time within / above / below training zone, highest /
lowest and average heart rate, % of maximum heart rate, check your fitness level
after a 5 minute recovery phase. All designed to help you monitor your training,
improve your fitness and reach your own personal goals.

SAFETY –PLEASE READ BEFORE EXERCISING
IMPORTANT - Before starting any form of exercise program, consult your doctor or
therapist. If at any time during your exercise you experience discomfort or pain, stop
the exercise immediately and consult your doctor.
Always Warm up - Cool down and stretch before and after exercising. This will help
prevent straining muscles.
The heart rate monitor is designed for private purposes and is not suitable for
commercial purposes. It is not a medical device; it is a training aid for monitoring and
displaying your heart rate. Wearers of pacemakers should only use devices for
monitoring their heart rate after consulting their doctor.
Read through the instructions carefully and only use the heart rate monitor as
described in these instructions so that no accidental injuries or damage occur. Keep
these instructions in a safe place in order to refer to them later. If you pass this
product on, please also include the instructions.
Keep the unit out of the reach of young children. The unit contains small
pieces that may be swallowed. Immediately contact your physician if any
piece is swallowed.
Read all information in the instruction manual and any other literature
included before using the unit.
Operate the unit only as intended. Do not use for any other purpose.
Dispose of the device, battery, and components according to applicable local
regulations. Unlawful disposal may cause environmental pollution.
Do not throw the battery into fire. The battery may explode.
NOTE: This chest strap can contain latex components. In rare cases, allergic
reactions can occur to this substance, in the form of - possibly relatively
intensive - skin irritations and redness. Therefore, if you should even only
notice slight redness, please discontinue using the chest strap immediately.
In this case we recommend that you see a dermatologist.
