It is good for beginners and those who want to strengthen their cardiovascular systems. It works within the body's oxygen intake capability, burns more calories, and can be maintained for a long period of time. It works at or above the body's oxygen intake capability, builds muscle, and cannot be maintained for a long period of time. JOG Aerobic Exercise 65-85% RUN Anaerobic Exercise 78-90% MAXIMUM / LOWER / UPPER HEART RATE LIMIT Before you begin any exercise program and to achieve maximum health benefits from your workout, it is important to know your: · · · Maximum heart rate (MHR) Lower heart rate limit Upper heart rate limit To manually calculate your own heart rate limits, follow the instructions below: 17 E300_M_EN_USA. indd 17 8/31/06 12:13:06 PM EN EN MHR MHR = 220 - age LOWER LIMIT MHR x lower target activity %. Target activity is WALK Lower Limit = MHR x 65% UPPER LIMIT MHR x upper target activity %. Target activity is WALK Upper Limit = MHR x 78% HEART RATE ALERT You can set the heart rate alert in the exercise profile to the following settings: ICON DESCRIPTION Heart rate sound and vibration alert are OFF Heart rate sound alert is ON · 1 beep means you have gone below your lower zone limit · 2 beeps means you have gone above your upper zone limit Heart rate vibration alert is ON Heart rate sound and vibration alert are ON When the heart rate alert is activated, a flashing down or up arrow will appear on the display to show which heart rate limit you have surpassed. NOTE Using the vibration feature consumes battery life at a faster rate than the sound alarm. CALIBRATION, SPEED AND TARGETS CALIBRATION Before you use the speed and distance function, you have to set a real calibration or parameter. To set the real calibration you pre-set a distance to get a rough estimate of your speed when running this distance. You can set the 18 E300_M_EN_USA. indd 18 8/31/06 12:13:07 PM calibration for running and / or walking. You can use the watch without calibration, but the accuracy of speed and distance will be lower. After calibration, the accuracy of the speed and distance will increase. Make sure the transmission between the watch and the chest belt is well connected. Press ST / SP / + or LAP / MEM / - to select CALIBRATION (Cali) and press SET to confirm. 5. Press ST / SP / + or LAP / MEM / - to select calibration for walking or running. It is suggested to do the calibrations for both walking and running separately. The watch can automatically distinguish if you are walking or running. Press ST / SP / + or LAP / MEM / - to select real calibration ("SET CAL" will flash) or input calibration parameter ("SET PAR" will flash) directly and press SET to confirm. 6. For first time use, please select real calibration. After calibration, record the calibration parameters for walking and running respectively so that in the future, you can manually insert these parameters as opposed to doing a real calibration again. For example, if you lend the watch to someone who puts in his/her own calibration, you can simply input your calibration parameter directly when you use the watch again. Press ST / SP / + or LAP / MEM / - to select the distance you want to walk or run (400 meters is suggested for each one) and press SET to confirm. Press ST / SP / + to start calibration and immediately start walking or running. After you have walked or run the desired distance, press ST / SP / + to end the calibration. 10. If you receive a failure message, try running at a slower speed as sometimes the watch cannot calibrate accurately when you are running too quickly. [. . . ] Do not use in hot water. BATTERIES Both the watch and the heart rate chest belt use 1 x CR2032 3V battery. LOW BATTERY ICON DESCRIPTION The battery is too low to run the backlight The battery is too low to run the vibration alert The watch battery is low; the vibration alert and backlight cannot be used The chest belt battery is nearly too low to send a signal to the watch 31 E300_M_EN_USA. indd 31 8/31/06 12:13:18 PM EN EN The batteries typically last one year. We highly recommend that you contact the retailer or our customer service department if you need to replace them. Using a thin blunt instrument, hook the release catch and lift the clip. [. . . ]
