SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!
The heart rate monitor is not a medical instrument. It is a
training instrument that has been designed to monitor and
indicate your heart rate, calorie consumption and fat burn.
Before you begin your training program visit your doctor and
consult him as to your individual upper and lower heart rate
limit (training range), exercise frequency and duration.
With these parameters of your current fitness level you will
be able to achieve optimum results.
Do not wear your heart rate monitor for sports where injuries
are likely to occur.
Read the operating manual through carefully and keep it for
future reference as long as you have the heart rate monitor.
People who have heart and circulatory problems or
wearers of heart pacemakers should consult their doctor
before using this heart rate monitor.
CARE
Wipe the heart rate monitor and the transmitter down with a
damp cloth after training.
Make sure the transmitting unit is stored in a dry place to prevent
the batteries discharging.
Lift the flap!

PUTTING ON THE TRANSMITTER AND THE HEART RATE MONITOR
To achieve better skin contact, moisten the conductive transmission pad lightly with ECG
jelly (from chemist stores). Put the belt on a few minutes before starting training so that it
can warm up to body temperature. Find the best position for the belt. The contact between
the skin and the transmitter must not be interrupted when deep breaths are taken.
- 5 -
The transmitter is worn on the naked skin. Set the elastic belt tight enough for the
transmitter to be pressed to your chest.
Fasten the heart rate monitor on your wrist.
Press any button to activate the monitor. If there is no interference the heart signal
will flash with the received transmission signals.
It can take a few seconds for a heart rate to appear.
Vary the position of the transmitter if necessary to achieve optimum contact.
Battery-operated heart rate monitors can be influenced by interference from external
radio frequencies. Electronic training devices in fitness clubs, mobile phones, battery-
operated bike computers, high-voltage lines etc. can cause irregular transmission
impulses and lead to the display showing "0" during training. When training takes
place in groups, other heart rate transmitters can overlay your signal causing an
incorrect heart rate display. To achieve correct signals, keep a distance of approx.
2 metres between yourself and other users of heart rate monitors.
The monitor must be in the date mode
for the date to be set, i.e. the date and
the current heart rate are shown on the
display. If this is not the case, enter the

The heart rate monitor makes it possible for you to set a specific training range with
upper and lower heart rate limit value.
During training, your current heart rate
is shown in the display.A flashing value
and an arrow pointing upwards or
downwards indicate that you are outside
your set training range. In addition, an
acoustic alarm can be set. The arrows
disappear as soon as your current value
is within the training range again.
The monitor must be in the training zone
mode for the training limits to be set, i.e.
the display alternates between how long
you were in the upper (HI), lower (LO)
and required (In) training range. If this is
not the case, enter the time mode and
press the mode button to move into the
training zone mode.
Use your maximum heart rate (MHR) to calculate your training limit values. Contact
your doctor or your trainer to determine your maximum heart rate. If you do not know
your maximum heart rate, you can estimate it using the following formula:
MEN: 220 minus age = Maximum heart rate (MHR)
WOMEN: 230 minus age = Maximum heart rate (MHR)
Calculate the upper and lower limit values of your training form by multiplying your
maximum heart frequency by the factors listed in the following.
Select the training form you require.
CAUTION!
Keep the set button pressed for approx.
2 seconds in the training time mode until
the word "Hold" disappears from the
