Frequently Asked Questions - PC 7 SIGMA

How to set the time on the PC 7?

Press MODE to access the CLK screen. Hold SET for 2 seconds until 'hold' disappears. Use SET to select 12H or 24H format, then confirm with MODE. Then set the hours and minutes with SET and confirm with MODE.

How to program the high and low heart rate limits?

Press MODE to access the % screen. Hold SET for 2 seconds. The high limit flashes (240 by default). Set it with SET (decreasing steps), confirm with MODE. Then the low limit flashes (30 by default); set it with SET (increasing steps) and confirm with MODE to exit.

What to do if heart rate is not displayed?

Check the positioning of the chest strap (under the pectorals for men, under the chest for women). Ensure the conductive strips are clean and moistened (conductive gel or saliva). Move away from sources of interference (high voltage lines, etc.). Check the transmitter battery.

How to change the batteries of the heart rate monitor?

Battery replacement must be done by a specialized dealer to ensure water resistance. The watch uses a CR2025/DL2025 battery, the transmitter a CR2032/DL2032. Incorrect replacement would damage the device and void the warranty.

What is the difference between the PC3 and PC7 models?

The PC7 offers additional functions compared to the PC3: audible alarm, memory of high and low limits, programmable maximum heart rate, calendar, and training limit programming. The PC3 only has heart rate display, time, and stopwatch.

How to use the stopwatch?

Press MODE to access the STP screen. Press SET to start and stop the stopwatch. Hold SET for 2 seconds to reset to zero.

How to activate the audible alarm?

On the PC7, simply press the ALARM button to activate or deactivate the audible alarm. It triggers when your heart rate goes outside the programmed target zone.

What is the water resistance depth of the watch?

The heart rate monitor and transmitter are waterproof to 3 meters depth. However, the selection buttons should not be used underwater. Avoid use in seawater to prevent malfunctions.

How to determine your maximum heart rate?

Max HR can be estimated with formulas: for men, 210 - (0.5 × age) - (0.11 × weight in kg) + 4; for women, 210 - (0.5 × age) - (0.11 × weight in kg). It is recommended to perform a stress test with a sports doctor.

How to clean the chest transmitter?

Moisten the conductive strips on the back of the transmitter with ECG conductive gel (available at pharmacies) or optionally with saliva. Ensure the strips are clean; clean them with a soft cloth if necessary.

II. Explaining and setting the trainings 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 an 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 % Hr max

Alignment: Competition 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.

• Press MODE key to select max format
• Press SET key until the word "hold" disappears and the flashing upper limit with 240 is displayed
