INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchasing the Smart Trainer
- Heart Rate Monitor. The Smart Trainer - Heart Rate
Monitor is a feature-packed precision device. Apart
from monitoring your heart rate and calorie and fat
consumption while training, it is capable of deriving the
optimum training program for you basing on your target
activity score.
The products come with a heart rate chest belt and a
receiver watch complete with the functions of a real-
time clock, stopwatch and back light.
SMART TRAINING PROGRAM
It is important you know your maximum heart rate
(MHR), training zone, upper heart rate limit and lower
heart rate limit before you begin. They help you achieve
the maximum health benefits out of your workout. Your
Smart Trainer - Heart Rate Monitor was equipped with
a SMART TRAINING PROGRAM that your own MHR
could be determined so that your own upper and lower
limit was set automatically throughout the training
process.
Or you can set your own upper and lower limit using the
following as a reference guide.
You may estimate your MHR using the following
formula:
Men 220 - age = MHR
Women 230 - age = MHR
There are generally three training zones. They are
health benefited and related to your MHR as follows:
50%
60%
70%
80%
90%
100%
Moderate Activity
Weight Management
Aerobic Zone
Anaerobic Threshold Zone
Red Line Zone ( maximum capacity )
The upper and lower heart rate limits are calculated
by multiplying your MHR by the percentages of the
selected training zone.
For example:
For a 40-year-old man to train for health
maintenance,
His Upper Heart Rate Limit (220 - 40) x 70% = 126
(beats per minute)
His Lower Heart Rate Limit (220 - 40) x 60% = 108
(beats per minute)
For a 30-year-old woman to train for aerobic
exercise,
Her Upper Heart Rate Limit (230 - 30) x 80% = 160
(beats per minute)
SE139_EN_R5.indd 2 6/24/08 6:46:16 PM

EN
Her Lower Heart Rate Limit (230 - 30) x 70% = 140
(beats per minute)
The SMART TRAINING PROGRAM will guide you
through the warm up exercise to the end of the training
exercise. Throughout the whole training process you
may check the calories consumed and % of fat burn
(from which it could show the percentage of calories
came from burning fat).
FITNESS INDEX
Your Smart Trainer - Heart Rate Monitor will generate
a fitness index based on your aerobic fitness, or your
capacity to engage any forms of aerobic exercise,
dependent and limited by the body’s ability to deliver
oxygen to the working muscles in training. It is often
measured by maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 Max), which
is defined as the highest amount of oxygen that can be
utilized when exercising at an increasingly demanding
level. The lungs, heart, blood, circulatory system, and
working muscles are all factors in determined VO2 Max.
The unit of VO2 Max is ml/kg.min.
Generally, the fitness range lies between 13 to 53
depend on ages. The higher the index, the fitter you are.
(Refer to the following diagram for reference.)

TRAINING TIPS
• Identify your training goal, be it to lose weight, keep
fit, improve health or compete with a friend.
• Select a training activity you enjoy. Varying your
exercises can make your training more interesting.
• Start slowly.
• Exercise regularly. Twenty to 30 minutes each
and three to four times a week for a healthier
cardiovascular system.
• Gradually steps up your training zone as you
become fitter.
• Always allow at least five minutes before and after
training within your exercise zone for warm-up and
cool-down.
• The health maintenance zone has the lowest
training intensity. It is good for beginners and
those who want to strengthen their cardiovascular
systems.
• The aerobic exercise zone increases strength and
endurance. It works within the body’s oxygen intake
capability, burns more calories and can last longer.
• The anaerobic exercise zone generates speed
and power. It works at or above the body’s oxygen
intake capability, builds more muscle and cannot be
maintained for a long time.
• Measure your pulse after training. Then repeat the
procedure again after three minutes. If it does not
return to its normal resting pulse, you might have
trained too hard.
• Always check with your doctor before starting a
vigorous training program.
THE RECEIVER WATCH
You can wear it on your wrist or strap it to your bike or
exercise machine.

THE HEART RATE CHEST BELT
The heart rate chest belt is used to count your heartbeat
and transmit the data to the receiver watch. To put it
on,
1. Wet the conductive pads on the underside of the
heart rate chest belt with few drops of water or a
conductive gel to ensure a solid contact.
2. Strap the heart rate chest belt across the chest.
Adjust the strap until the heart rate chest belt sits
snugly below the pectoral muscles for an accurate
heart rate signal.
HINTS
• The position of the heart rate chest belt affects its
performance. Move the heart rate chest belt along
the strap for the best transmission. Avoid areas with
dense chest hair.
• In dry, cold climates, it takes the heart rate chest
belt a while to function steadily. This is normal as
sweat could improve the contact with the skin.
EFFECTIVE RANGE
The heart rate chest belt and receiver watch will start
transmitting and receiving signals once batteries are in
place. Both units should be worn or mounted within an
effective distance of 62.5 centimeters (25 inches). If the
signals have become unsteady,
• Shorten the distance between the heart rate chest
belt and receiver watch.
• Re-adjust the position of the heart rate chest belt.
• Check the batteries. Replace them when necessary.
