INSTRUCTIONMANUAL
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Heart Rate Monitor
(PM800). This unit is an easy-to-use multifunction device for
individuals who want to monitor their cardiac activity.
The PM800 is useful in health and weight maintenance programs,
exercise and training routines, or any form of aerobic condition-
ing. In addition to being a heart rate monitor, this device is a
countdown timer, stopwatch, clock / calendar, and alarm.
Now, monitor your exercise routines. Calculate the number of lost
calories or set upper and lower heart rate limits. Like having a
personal coach, the PM800 is ideal for active individuals.

Confirm and continue by pressing
“MODE”.
4. Press “ADJUST” to set the lower
limit to a maximum of 220 bpm.
Confirm and continue by pressing
“MODE”.
Note: The lower heart rate limit will not exceed the upper settings.
Forexample,if the upper heart ratelimitisset to 200 bpm, thelower
setting cannot exceed this limit. Conversely, the upper heart rate
limit can not be set lower than the lower setting.
Calorie Display
The PM800 will calculate your approximate calorie consumption
during a workout. Simply program the following information to
obtain this data which you can access during or after your training
session.
Note: The stopwatch must be activated if you wish to use Calorie
modes. If you wish to consult the data after a workout, stop the
PM800 without resetting it! Read the data first and then reset it.
Otherwise, the data will be lost.
To set the calorie consumption:
1. Press “MODE” to enter the
display as shown
2. Press “ADJUST” and hold for
about 2 seconds, the display will
show “hold” command.
3. Press “ADJUST” to set the
appropriate sex. “M” for males and

Fitting the Transmitter Belt
Wear the transmitter stretched around your thorax and under the
pectoralmuscles.TheOregonScientificlogomustbevisibleinfront
and not upside down. The elastic band should be adjusted snugly
enough so that the belt doesn’t shift while your breathing. Before
using, we recommend moisten the inside surface of the conductive
rubber pads with saliva or ECG conductive gel (available at your
local pharmacy). Finally, it may take a few minutes for the watch to
display an accurate count. This is normal and may take longer on
cool, dry days.

Countdown Timer
Ifyouwishtoworkoutforasetperiodoftime,theCountdownTimer
is very useful. You can adjust it from 1 minute to 3 hours. Use it

Actual Heart Rate Monitoring
To consult your actual heart rate reading, you have the choice
between a couple of modes. For example, Actual Heart Rate with
Clock,orActualHeartRate with Stopwatch. A delay of5-8seconds
is needed for the watch to display your actual heart rate. The heart
icon will flash to confirm that data is being received from the
transmitter.Ifthehearticondoesn’tflash,there’snodatatransfer.(If
the monitor flashes or the alarm sounds, this doesn’t mean that
there’s no data transfer, it means that you’ve reached your upper/
lower limits.)
Note: Memory functions are only activated when starting the
stopwatch. Consult the following pages for more information.
Heart Rate Memory Storage and Recall
The PM800 will memorize the time you spent above, inside and
below your set heart rate limits during a workout.
1. Press “MODE” until “STP’ appears. The stopwatch must be
stopped.
2. Press“MODE”andholdforabout2to3seconds.Thedisplaywill
scan between Upper Limit, Lower Limit, and Inside Limit.
3. Resetting the stopwatch will also clear the average heart rate.
Note: The stopwatch must be activated to use this function. If you
wish to consult the data after workout, stop the PM800 without
resetting it! Read your data first and then reset it, otherwise the data
will be lost.
Average Heart Rate Function
After a workout, you can consult the reached average heart rate. It is
determinedbyusingthereachedupperand lower heart rate readings
during a training session. It will be showed after the Heart Rate
Memory.
Note: The stopwatch must be activated to use this function. If you
wish to consult the data after workout, stop the PM800 without
resetting it! Read your data first and then reset it, otherwise the data
will be lost.
Training Zones
WARNING:Determining your individual training zone isacritical
stepinthe process towards efficient andsafetraining.Pleaseconsult
your doctor or health professional to help you determine your
maximumheartrate,upperandlower limits, exercise frequency and
duration appropriate for your age, condition and specific goals.

watch. To learn more about Training Zones are training techniques,
please refer to the wide variety of books available on the subject.
In order to find your individual training zones, you must first
determine your individual maximum heart rate. This is the highest
numberoftimes your heart contracts inoneminute.A common way
toestimate thisisto subtract your age from a given number like this:
Women: 226 minus your age
Men: 220 minus your age
Examplefora36yearoldwoman:226minus36=Amaximumheart
rate of 190
Although very simple, this method can also be imprecise. We again
advise you to consult health professionals. To best determine your
max. HR. Training zones represent different levels of intensity in
reference to your individual max. HR.
There are several training zones that bear specific results in your
fitnessprogram.Themostpopularzonesrangebetween50%to80%

Battery Change
If the heart rate readings become erratic or stop, your transmitter
battery may need replacing. You can do this by yourself very easily
without any special tools.
1. Open the transmitter battery lid with a coin by turning counter-
clockwise.
2. Insert one CR2032, 3V lithium battery with writing facing you.
Note: Take care not to touch the two contacts, otherwise the
battery can discharge.
3. Replace lid.
If you are unsure about the procedure consult your dealer.
Note: Disposed of improperly, batteries can be harmful.
Protect the environment by taking exhausted batteries to
authorized disposal stations.
