This product is not a therapeutic device. It is a training instrument, which was developed for the measurement and representation of the human heart rate.
- With high-risk sports, please note that the use of the heart rate monitor can represent an additional source of injury.
If in doubt or for illnesses, please consult your doctor concerning the values of your upper and lower target heart rate as well as the duration and frequency of training. In such a way, you can achieve optimal results when training.
■ WARNING: People suffering from heart and circulatory illnesses or those with pacemakers should only use this heart rate monitor after having consulted their doctor.

Application

■ The device is only intended for private use.
This device may only be used for the purpose it was designed for and in the manner outlined in this operating instructions. Any form of improper use can be dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable for damages that are caused by improper or incorrect use.

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR TRAINING

This heart rate monitor serves to measure the human pulse. By means of various settings, you can support your individual training program and monitor your pulse. You should monitor your pulse during exercise because you should prevent your heart from excessive strain on the one hand and on the other in order to achieve the optimal training results. The table provides you with some information on the selection of your training zone. The maximum heart rate reduces with advancing age. Information on the training heart rate must therefore always be in relation to the maximum heart rate. The following rule of thumb helps to identify the maximum heart rate:

220 - age = maximum heart rate

The following example applies to a 40-year-old person: 220-40 = 180

	Heart/health programme	Fat burning zone	Fitness programme	Endurance training programme	Anaerobic training
Max. heart rate range	50 - 60%	60 - 70%	70 - 80% 80 - 90%	90 - 100%
Effect	Strengthens the heart and the circulatory system	The body burns the highest percentage of calories from fat. Strengthens the heart and the circulatory system, enhances fitness	Improves the respiratory and circulatory system. Ideal to promote the basic endurance	Improves speed maintenance and increases basic speed	Overloads specific muscles. High injury risk for athletes at amateur level, risk related to the heart in case of disease
Suitable for	Ideal for beginners	Weight control and loss	Athletes at amateur level	Ambitious athletes at amateur level, professional athletes	Only professional athletes
Training	Regenerative training		Fitness training Endurance training		Fitness training addressing specific zones

See the chapter "Basic Settings", section "Setting your training zone" on how to individually set your training zone. See the chapter "Fitness Test" on how the heart rate monitor sets your individual limits of the suggested training zone through the fitness test.

Analysis of the Training

You can transfer your training data to a PC via the PC interface of your HR monitor (3 pins on the back of your monitor) and evaluate it there. The required accessories consisting of a CD with the PC software EasyFit and a communication cable are available at specialist shops under order number 671.10.

The PC software EasyFit controls the transfer of the data from your HR monitor and offers a wide range of analysis options. In addition, EasyFit provides useful calendar and administrative functions, which also support optimal training over longer periods of time. Using the software, you can also control and monitor your weight management.

TRANSMISSION OF SIGNAL AND METHODS OF DEVICES MEASUREMENT

Receiving range of the heart rate monitor

Your heart rate monitor picks up the heart rate signals sent by the chest strap transmitter within a range of 70 centimeters.

Sensors on the chest strap

The entire chest strap consists of two components: the actual chest strap and an elastic tension belt. On the inside of the chest strap contacting the body, there are two rectangular, corrugated sensors. Both sensors determine your heart rate ECG exactly and transmit this to the heart rate monitor. When using a textile chest strap, please take note of the information in the directions for use of the textile chest strap.

The chest strap is compatible with other analogue devices, such as e.g. ergometers.

GETTING STARTED

Putting on the heart rate monitor

You can wear your heart rate monitor like a wrist watch. In order to fix the heart rate monitor on bike handle bars, attach the bike mount included to the handle bars. Tighten the heart rate monitor around the mount such that it is not able to slip while riding.

Activating the HR watch from transport mode

During transport the monitor is blank. You can remove the transport mode by pressing the button MENU and then START/STOP.

Activating the heart rate monitor from power saving mode

You can activate your heart rate monitor by pressing any button. If the heart rate monitor has not received any signal for approx. five minutes, it switches to the power saving mode. At that point, only the current time and the date will be displayed. Press any button in order to reactivate the watch.

Putting on the chest strap

• Put the chest strap around the upper part of your body and fasten the two ends. Adjust the length of the belt such that the belt is snug, but neither too loose nor too tight. Position the belt around the chest such that the logo is facing outwards and in the correct position directly over the breast bone. For men, the chest belt should be located directly below the pectoral muscles, for women, directly below the breast.

Simple line drawing of a human torso and lower abdomen (no text or symbols)

Since optimal contact between the skin and the heart rate sensors can not be created immediately, it may take some time until the heart rate is measured and displayed. If necessary, alter the position of the transmitter in order to achieve optimal contact. Most of the time, sufficient contact is achieved through the accumulation of sweat beneath the chest strap. You can, however, also wet the contact points on the inside of the chest strap. For this, lift the chest strap up from the skin slightly and wet the two sensors with saliva, water or ECG gel (available at the chemistry). The contact between the skin and chest strap may not be interrupted also with greater movements of the thorax such as during deep breathing. Significant chest chair can interfere with and even prevent contact.

- Put on the chest strap a few minutes before starting in order to warm it up to body temperature and establish optimal contact.

Things to know about the recordings

As soon as you have started the recording, your HR monitor starts recording your training data. Your HR monitor continually records your training data until you save or delete this. This also applies when you first start training on the following day. The running time also allows you to stop your training session at any time.
- Your HR watch has a memory. The recording time is up to 24 hours and depends on the number of laps. A maximum of 50 laps is possible for each training. Your HR watch informs you if the memory is almost full. At this point, at the latest, we recommend transmitting the recordings to your PC and thus emptying the memory on the HR watch. Alternatively you can delete all recordings manually. Read the

section “Delete all recordings” in this chapter to find out how to delete the recordings.

• You can let your training data be displayed. The last recording saved, can be recalled in the menu Result. In the menu Lap Result you can see the laps for this recording.
  As soon as you have transferred the recordings into the EasyFit software, you can view and analyze them there. The memory will be deleted every time you have successfully transferred the data to the PC. You can find explanations regarding the transfer of data to the PC in the chapter “EasyFit Software”.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND BATTERIES

HR monitor

Waterproof to 30 m (suitable for swimming)

The impermeability of the monitor to moisture cannot be guaranteed if you jump into water (high pressure load) and also if the buttons are pressed in the rain.

Chest strap

Waterproof (suitable for swimming)

Transmission frequency

5.3 KHz

Battery HR monitor

3V lithium battery, type CR2032 (Recommendation: SONY batteries).

The service life is approx 15 months if the monitor with pulse display is used for 1 hour daily. In addition, activated functions such as e.g. acoustic alarm could reduce the service life of the battery to up to 13 months.

The included batteries are only for test mode and could be consumed within one year.

Battery chest strap

3V lithium battery, type CR2032

Service life: approx 28 months

Replacing the batteries

The battery of the HR monitor may only be replaced by a specialized dealer (any lock-maker's shop) and at the service address provided.

You can replace the battery in the chest strap on your own. The battery compartment is located on the inner side. Use a coin or the battery to be used to open the compartment. The positive pole of the battery inserted must face upwards. Carefully close the battery compartment again.

Used batteries do not belong in the household garbage. Dispose of these through your electronics dealer or your local collecting point for recoverables. You are legally required to do this. We will find this symbol on batteries containing toxic chemicals: Pb = battery contains lead, Cd = battery contains cadmium, Hg = battery contains mercury.

Pb Cd Hg

Distortion and interference

In the HR monitor, a receiver for signals from the chest strap transmitter is integrated. During use, it may arise that the HR monitor receives signals other than those transmitted by the chest strap.

How can I recognize interference?

Interference can be recognized in that the values displayed are unrealistic. If your normal heart rate amounts to 130 bpm and it is suddenly shown to be 200, then a short-term disturbance is present. Once you have removed yourself from the vicinity of the source causing the disturbance, the values will automatically resume being accurate. Please note that distorted values can mildly influence the training result displays and overall values.

What kind of causes for interference are there?

In some situations, short-range electromagnetic interference can occur. In order to avoid these, keep well away from these sources.

• Nearby power lines
  ■ Walking through security gates in airports.
  ■ Nearby overhead lines (tram)
  ■ Nearby traffic lights, television sets, car motors, bike computers
  ■ Nearby exercise equipment
  ■ Nearby mobile phones

Interference from other devices for measuring heart rates

The HR monitor as a receiver can react to interfering stray signals such as other heart rate monitors within a vicinity of one metre. This can result in incorrect measurements particularly when training in groups. If you e.g. jog next to one another, it can be beneficial to wear the HR monitor on the other wrist or to increase the distance to one's training partner.
