HEART RATE MODE

11.1 PRECAUTIONS
• Avoid fastening the strap too tight.
• Do not bend or fold the chest belt for preventing damage.
• Wetting the skin, where there is contact with the conductive area of the chest
belt will improve the conduction and get a more stable signal.
• The physical condition of an individual might effect the intensity of measured
signal.
• Avoid using the heart rate monitor close to a trolley car, a tram stop, transformer,
electric substation and high-tension distribution lines etc. The radio signal will be
affected under influence of the environment from high voltage and strong
magnetic fields.
11.2 Exercise zones

These limits constitute a certain percentage of your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR).

Use the following Heart Rate Zone Chart to select the zone you wish to exercise in.
You should consult a medical professional when selecting a training zone,
especially if you have a heart condition.
