USER MANUAL

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Oregon Scientific
Monitor (SE200). The SE200 is a very useful healthcare
product that can help you achieve and maintain your
optimum exercise zone by monitoring your heart rate while
working out.
The SE200 bundles a heart rate transmitter and receiver
watch complete with real-time clock, stopwatch, and
backlight functions.
KNOW YOUR DATA
To help achieve the maximum health benefits from your
workout program, it is important to know your:
• Maximum heart rate (MHR) training zone
• Upper heart rate limit
• Lower heart rate limit
MHR is expressed in beats per minute. You can get your
MHR from a MHR test, or you can estimate it using the
following formula:
220 - age = MHR
There are several training zones that that are relevant to
a fitness program. The most popular zone range is from
50% to 80% of your maximum heart rate. This is where you
achieve cardiovascular benefits, burn fat, and become fitter.
When programming your watch, the lower % of the zone you
choose becomes your lower heart rate limit and the higher %
becomes the upper heart rate limit.
50%
Moderate Activity
60%
Weight Management
70%
Aerobic Zone
80%
Anaerobic Threshold Zone
90%
Red Line Zone ( maximum capacity )
100%
The upper and lower heart rate limits are calculated by
multiplying your MHR by the percentages of the selected
training zone.
For example:
A 40-year-old user training for basic health maintenance:
• His Upper Heart Rate Limit [220 - 40(age)] x 78%
• His Lower Heart Rate Limit [220 - 40(age)] x 65%
TRAINING ZONES
Always warm up before exercise and select the training
zone that best suits your physique. Exercise regularly, 20
to 30 minutes per session, three to four times a week for a
healthier cardiovascular system.
There are three training zones, as described below:
TRAINING ZONE MHR % DESCRIPTION
Health 65 - 78% This is the lowest training
Maintenance intensity level. It is good for
beginners and those who
want to strengthen their
cardiovascular systems.
Aerobic
65 - 85% Increases strength and
Exercise endurance. It works within
the body's oxygen intake
capability, burns more
calories, and can be
maintained for a long period
of time.

Anaerobic
power. It works at or above
Exercise
the body's oxygen intake
capability, builds muscle,
and cannot be maintained
for a long period of time.
WARNING Determining your individual training zone is
a critical step in the process towards an efficient and safe
training program. Please consult your doctor or health
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.
RECEIVER CONTROL BUTTONS

THE TRANSMITTER
The transmitter is used to count your heartbeat and transmit
the data to the receiver. To put it on:
1. Wet the conductive pads on the underside of the
transmitter with water or a conductive gel to help
establish solid contact.
2. Strap the transmitter across the chest. Adjust the strap
until the transmitter sits snugly below the pectoral
muscles for an accurate heart rate signal.
HINTS
• The position of the transmitter affects its performance.
Move the transmitter along the strap for the best
transmission. Avoid areas with dense chest hair.
• In dry, cold climates, it takes the transmitter a while to
function steadily. This is normal, as the conductive pads
need a film of sweat to improve contact with the skin.
THE RECEIVER
The receiver comes in the format of a wristwatch.
• You can wear it on your wrist:
TM Heart Rate
EFFECTIVE RANGE
The transmitter and receiver will start transmitting and
receiving signals after the batteries are in place. When
the battery is full, both units can be worn or mounted up to

If signals become unsteady:
• Shorten the distance between the transmitter and
receiver.
• Re-adjust the position of the transmitter.
• Check the batteries. Replace them when necessary.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
BATTERY
The SE200 uses a CR2032 lithium battery for the transmitter
and a CR2032 for the receiver. Both are included with the
unit. When the receiver battery is running low, the low battery
indicator will light up on the watch display.
If the heart rate readings become erratic or stop, your
transmitter battery may need replacing.
To change the battery:
1. Open the transmitter battery lid with a coin by turning
counterclockwise.
2. Insert a new CR2032, 3V lithium battery.
3. Replace the battery compartment door.
NOTE
Take care not to touch the two contacts otherwise
the battery can discharge. If you are unsure about the
procedure consult your dealer.
ENERGY SAVING FEATURE
If the watch receives no transmitter signal after 5 minutes,
the SE200 will switch back to the previous display mode.
