Frequently Asked Questions - PC 1300 SIGMA

How to set the time on the Sigma PC 1300?

Press MENU to access the time screen, then hold SET for 2 seconds until 'hold' disappears. Select 12h or 24h format with SET, confirm with MENU. Then set the hours and minutes with SET and confirm each step with MENU.

How to program the high and low heart rate limits?

Press MENU to access the Hi-Lo-In screen. Hold SET for 2 seconds until 'hold' disappears. The high limit blinks: set it with SET (100-240) then confirm with MENU. The low limit blinks: set it (30-179) with SET and confirm with MENU to exit.

What to do if the watch does not display heart rate?

Check that the conductive strips on the back of the transmitter are clean and well moistened (ECG gel or saliva). Make sure the chest strap is positioned correctly below the pectoral muscles (men) or below the chest (women). Move away from sources of interference (high voltage lines, etc.). Check the transmitter battery.

How to use the stopwatch and recovery time?

Press MENU until the STP screen. Press SET to start the stopwatch. To switch to recovery mode, press SET again: the recovery time is 3 minutes. After stopping, the starting heart rate appears at the top, the current one at the bottom. To reset, hold SET for 2 seconds.

How to set the calorie calculation function (KCAL)?

Press MENU to access the KCAL screen. Hold SET for 2 seconds. Choose gender (M/F) with SET and confirm with MENU. Select weight unit (kg/lb) with SUBMENU, then set your weight with SET. Then enter the activity factor (see table in the manual) with SET and confirm with MENU. Press MENU to exit.

How to change the battery of the watch or transmitter?

Battery replacement must be done by a specialized dealer to guarantee water resistance and proper operation. The watch uses a CR2025 or DL2025 battery, the transmitter uses a CR2032 or DL2032. After a change, the KCAL factor resets to 00069 and must be reprogrammed.

Is the watch waterproof? Can I swim with it?

Yes, the watch and transmitter are waterproof up to 3 meters depth. However, buttons should not be used underwater and use in seawater is not recommended as it may cause malfunctions.

How to activate or deactivate the training zone audible alarm?

Press the ALARM button. A bell icon appears to indicate that the audible alarm is activated. It will sound if your heart rate exceeds the programmed high or low limit. Press ALARM again to deactivate the alarm (the bell disappears).

What do the displays Hi, Lo and In mean?

These displays correspond to time spent in the training zones: Hi = time above the high limit, Lo = time below the low limit, In = time in the target zone. They are only active when the stopwatch is running. Reset is done by resetting the stopwatch.

How to reset the average (AVG) or maximum (MAX) heart rate?

To reset AVG or MAX, press MENU to access the corresponding screen (AVG then SUBMENU for MAX), then hold the SET button for 2 seconds until the value resets.

II. Explaining and setting the training functions

The heart rate (Hr) is displayed in beats per minute.

1. Maximum Heart Rate- Maximum test

The maximum heart rate Hr MAX is your present maximum heart rate if you go to the limits of your capability.

The individual Hr max depends on your age, your sex and your fitness level. The best way to determine the individual Hr max is a stress test.

We recommend you to see a doctor to do this test and to repeat it regularly.

The Hr max may also be estimated by means of the following mathematical equation.

Men: 210 - half age - (0.11 x personal weight + 4)

Women: 210 - half age - (0.11 x personal weight)

2. The right heart rate for training

The training zone is the variation of the heart rate you want to train in for effective training

An indication is:

65% of the Hr max is your lower limit for training and 80% of the Hr max should be your top limit. You can find out your estimated heart rate zone looking at the chart in accordance with your goals.

Zone: General Health 50-70 % of the Hr max Alignment: Fitness for beginners

	Hr max			150	160	170	180	190	200	210
Upper limit	70 %	105	112	119	126	133	140	147
Lower limit	50 %	75	80	85	90	95	100	105

Zone: Fitness 70-80 % of Hr max

Alignment: Fitness for advanced users

	Hr max	150	160	170	180	190	200	210
Upper limit	80 %	120	128	136	144	152	160	168
Lower limit	70 %	105	112	119	126	133	140	147

Zone: Competitive performance 80-100 % of Hr max

Alignment: Compatition Training for performance athletes
	Hr max 150 160 170 180 190 200 210
Upper limit 100 %	150 160 170 180 190 200 210
Lower limit 80 %	120 128 136 144 152 160 168

Please be aware that common training schedules never match the individual needs of a person. A perfect training schedule can only be set up by a well-educated trainer, who knows you personally.
