HEART RATE MONITOR

Your heart is at the center of everything you do – fueling your life and driving your passions. Monitoring your heart rate and using it in activity tracking is the most accurate way to set your fitness goals and help you reach them.

Why measure heart rate?

- Taking your heart rate will help you stay in your workout zones and help calculate your calorie burn more accurately.

MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE TWO WAYS

1. VIA CHEST BELT

The Brite R440 is BLE chest belt compatible (sold separately). This additional feature lets you record continuous heart rate readings to your watch, so you can capture complete heart rate and calorie burn data during your workout. To help you track your results, you can also sync your cardio data to the LifeTrak app after your workout - so you know if you need to push harder next time.

2. VIA FINGER TOUCH

Don't want to wear a chest belt, but you want a heart rate reading? Get your ECG heart rate reading at the press of a button - no chest strap needed!

1. Wear snugly around your wrist.
2. Gently press and hold VIEW for 3 to 8 seconds until your heart rate appears.

Pulse Indicator

This feature will NOT be available when you are using your compatible BLE chest belt in Workout Mode.

CONTINUOUS HEART RATE (BLE CHEST BELT)

Place your compatible* Bluetooth® chest belt (chest belt not included) around your rib cage, just below your pectoral muscles.

Adjust the elastic strap so it is tight enough not to move during your workout, but not so tight that it restricts breathing.

For optimal results, wear the chest belt for a few minutes and allow it to 'warm up' before starting your workout.

*Please visit the LifeTrak website www.lifetrakusa.com to purchase or view a list of compatible BLE heart rate chest belts / transmitters.

PAIR YOUR CHEST BELT

You must be wearing your BLE chest belt to PAIR to your Brite R440

INSIDE SETTING MODE

If you are having difficulty acquiring your heart rate, try the following:

1. Make sure your LifeTrak fitness tracker is snugly strapped to your wrist. A loose fit makes it more difficult to properly measure your heart rate.
2. Upon putting on for the first time, allow a one-minute "warm up" before trying to acquire your heart rate.
3. When touching the heart sensor button (VIEW), make sure you are using the soft, flat pads of your fingers, not the tips of your fingers.
4. Touch gently with enough pressure to activate the heart sensor button (VIEW). Pressing too hard can make it difficult to measure your heart rate.
5. Make sure the back metal plate is lying flat on your skin.
6. Make sure your wrist and fingers are clean and free from dirt, oils, or lotions.
7. Clean the heart sensor button (VIEW) and back metal plate with a mild soap and water, or similar cleaning solution.
8. Moisten with water the pads of the fingers you are using to contact the heart sensor button (VIEW).
9. Moisten the surface between the back metal plate and the skin on your wrist with water.

HELPFUL HINTS ABOUT HEART RATE ZONES

WARNING: Before starting a new exercise routine, please consult your doctor or health care professional to help you determine your maximum heart rate, upper and lower limits, exercise frequency and duration appropriate for your age, condition and specific goals.

You can get your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) from a MHR test (consult your doctor), or you can estimate it using the following formula:

Women Maximum Heart Rate = 226 - age Men Maximum Heart Rate = 220 - age

Here are some common Heart Rate Zones:

Light 50% - 60% MHR

Fat Burn 60% - 70% MHR

Endurance 70% - 80% MHR

Performance 80% - 90% MHR

Peak 90% - 100% MHR

Example based on a 35 year old male

220 - 35 (age) = 185 (MHR)

To calculate the HR ZONES, multiply

185 (MHR) by the percentages to the

left. This will help you determine the

LO and HI levels of each zone.

For a Medium Intensity (Endurance):

185 x 0.7 = 130 (LO) and

185 × 0.8 = 148 (HI)

HELPFUL HINTS ABOUT ALL-DAY CALORIE TRACKING

• Your body is always burning calories, even when sleeping or not in motion. Our All-Day Calorie Tracker accounts for these calories burned.
• You will see calories burned even when you're not wearing your LifeTrak. This is normal as it is estimating the calories your body typically burns throughout the day.
• You get more accurate calorie burn information by calculating in your heart rate readings, so remember to take your heart rate throughout the day and more frequently during your exercise.

HELPFUL HINTS ABOUT LIGHTTRAK

- Monitoring your exposure to overall blue light levels can help you improve mood, fight fatigue and keep your circadian rhythm running smoothly. The Brite R440 tracks your light levels and provides alerts to let you know when to get more or less light. You can view charts and durations on the LifeTrak app.

HELPFUL HINTS ABOUT INACTIVITY ALARM

- The Brite R440 will let you know when you have been inactive. Activate this alarm to receive a vibration alert letting you know when you should get moving.
