**When the user replace batteries, all the values will reset to ZERO automatically.
SET: A• llow you to set the target values for TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIE & PULSE. Please make sure
the computer is in the“STOP” status before using this key. If you hold this key continuously
for 2 seconds the value will increase quickly.
RECOVERY: The time it takes you to recover after exercise is an indication of your tness level. The•
computer is equipped with“RECOVERY” to measure your heart rate recovery time, you can
use this feature to compare your recovery rate over a period time e.g. When you rst start
to train and again after a few weeks training. To make an accurate comparison you should
really exercise at the same speed and load, and for the same amount of time, e.g., 10
minutes, at load 3. For an approximate comparison it is not necessary to put your hands
on the hand pulse sensor during the exercise period. When you nish exercising, put your
hands onto the hand pulse sensors, press “RECOVERY”and the computer will continue to
monitor your pulse. When the computer has counted down to 0.00 the screen will display
a heart rate recovery grade from F1 to F6 (F1 being good and F6 poor).
Press the“RECOVERY” button again to return to the main functions.•
Operating Instructions:

Enter your target pulse by pressing the SET button. (MAX 240)•
Hand Pulse Sensor
To obtain a pulse reading you must have your left and right hands holding the sensors
at the same time. Grip the hand pulse sensors normally (NOT TOO TIGHT) during
exercise and after a few seconds the computer will display your pulse reading. Some
people will not be able to obtain an accurate hand pulse reading e.g. due to hand skin
or variations in circulation.
WARNING! Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercise may
result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint stop exercising immediately.
Batteries Installation:
Please install 2 x AA 1.5V batteries in the battery case on the back of monitor. (Whenever batteries are removed, all the

Conditioning Guidelines:
How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several years or are
out of shape, start slowly and increase your workout gradually. Increase your workout intensity gradually by monitoring your
heart rate while you exercise.
Remember to follow these essentials:
H• ave your doctor review your training and diet programs.
B• egin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your physician.
W• arm up before you exercise and cool down after you work out.
T• ake your pulse periodically during your workout and strive to stay within a range of 60% (lower intensity) or 90% (higher
intensity) of your maximum heart rate zone. Start at the lower intensity and build up to higher intensity as you become
more aerobically t.
I• f you feel dizzy or light-headed you should slow down or stop exercising.
Initially you may only be able to exercise within your target zone for a few minutes; however, your aerobic capacity will
improve over the next six to eight weeks. It is important to pace yourself while you exercise so you don’t tire too quickly.
To determine if you are working out at the correct intensity, use a heart rate monitor or use the table below. For eective
aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 60% and 90% of your maximum heart rate. If just
starting an exercising program, work out at the low end of your target heart rate zone. As your aerobic capacity improves,
gradually increase the intensity of your workout by increasing your heart rate.
Measure your heart rate periodically during your workout by stopping the exercise but continuingly to move your legs or walk
around. Place two or three ngers on your wrist and take a six second heartbeat count. Multiply the results by ten to nd your
heart rate. For example, if your six second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. A six second count is
used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising. Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart
rate is at the proper level.

*For cardiorespiratory training benets, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends working out within a heart
rate range of 55% to 90% of maximum heart rate. To predict the maximum heart rate, the following formula was used: 220 -
Age = predicted maximum heart rate.
