Step Five
Heart Rate Training Zone
To achieve the maximum healthbenefits fromyour
workout, it is important to know your heart rate
training zone. Your training zone is your maximum
upper and lower heart rate (beats per minute) during
exercise. Calculate your upper and lower heart rate
limit using this formula:
Men: 220– age = MHR
Women: 230 – age = MHR
MultiplyyourMHRbythepercentagesoftheselected
training zone. There are three training zones that are
related to your MHR:
• Health Maintenance Zone (70%– 60%) — The
lowesttrainingintensity.Forbeginnersandthose
who want to strengthen their cardiovascular
system.
• Aerobic Exercise Zone (80% – 70%) —
Increasesstrength andendurance. It works
within the body’s oxygen intake capability, burns
more calories, and can be maintained over a
longer period of time.
• Anaerobic Exercise Zone (90%– 80%) —
Generatesspeedandpower.Itworksatorabove
the body’s oxygen intake capability and builds
more muscle, but cannot be maintained over a
long period of time.
For example, a 30-year old female who wants to
determineher aerobic exercise zone would calculate
it as follows:
230 – 30 = 200 (MHR)
200 x .80 =160 (Upper limit)
200 x .60 =120 (Lower limit)

Step Seven
Attaching the Chest Strap
1. Prior to placing the strap next to the skin,

shouldbeaccomplishedwithconductive(EKG)
gel.
2. Attachand adjust the chest strap asshown so
that it fitssnugly below the pectoral muscles
across the chest. The position ofthe chest
strap affects its performance. In dry, cold
climates, it takesthe heart rate chest strap a
while to function steadily. This isnormal.
Effective Range
The chest strap and watch start transmitting and
receiving signals once batteries are in place. Both
units should be worn or mounted within an
effective distanceof 30-45 inches. If the signals
become unsteady, shorten the distance between

any time to stop the stopwatch.
9. When the stopwatch stops running,repeatedly press MEM to
view the time you exercised within the selected training zone,
total exercise time, average heart rate, and the number of
calories and percent of fat burned.
Notes:
• Make sure you fill in all theparameters. Otherwise, the calorie
count andfat burned willnot be available in training.
• You can leave out the heart rate limits as desired. The optimal
figures areautomatically selected according to the parameter
inputs.
• Ifyouchoosetoentertheheartratelimits,besurethe lowerlimit
does not exceed the higher limit.
•eor d flash if your lower or upper limits are exceeded. When
the alert is activated, a two-beepwarning signal sounds
