1. Before exercising activity
1) Setting your Target Zone (*Refer to page 4 ~ 8):
(1) Calculating your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
Men: 220 – your age = your MHR
Women: 200 – your age = your MHR
(2) List of Target Zone
Types of activities / Percentage (%) of MHRModerate activities / 50%
Weight management / 60 ~ 75 %
Aerobic / 70 ~ 80 %
Anaerobic Threshold / 80 ~ 90 %
Maximum training / 90 ~ 100 %
* Example) if you are a man and 40 years old, trying to lose weight …
Your MHR: 220 – 40 = 180 bpm (bits per minute)
It is in weight management and 60 ~ 75 % of MHR.
Lower Target: 180 x 0.6 = 108, Upper Target: 180 x 0.75 = 135
You’d better to exercise between 108 bpm and 135 bpm for effective exercises.
(3) Setting your Target Zone in the watch:
Press the MODE button twice until SET appears at the bottom of the screen.
Press the RESET button and then you can see the word “HI”, which is Upper target limit.
You can also find the blinking number in the first row. Change it into your Upper target by
MODE button (+) or ALARM button (-). Press RESET button again and change it into your
Lower target limit.
Press SET button or RESET button when it is completed and press MODE button.

2. Put on the watch and center the transmitter on the below your breast (*the transmitter’ll switch on/off
automatically when you put it on or not)
3. When you are ready to start your workout, Press MODE button once until MESURE appears on the
bottom and you can see “” on the bottom of the watch. (If you can’t see it, PLS confirm whether the
transmitter is positioned rightly on your skin or not.)
4. Press SET button on starting your workout.
5. Press SET button againon finishing the workout.
6. Press RESET button for checking the mount of fat burnt by kilocalorie

Your any kind inquiry will be on our high attention. Thanks!
**If you want more information about heart rate and why you need this watch
PLS refer to following pages.
To be continued in next page
PLS check out your heartbeat for effective workout and fitness.
1) Is your heart OK?
Your heart is one big muscle. Applying stress to it makes it stronger and larger.
Whenyou exercise more or take higher intensities, the muscle grows and is able to pump more blood to working muscles with each beat. This is why well-trained athletes havevery low heart rates. The heart rate of a professional marathon runner is recorded at be about 32 beatsper minute (bpm). To the normal person, this means that he is about to be dead.
Exercise alters a person's resting heart rate (RHR) but cannot alter a person's maximum heart rate (MHR). A person's MHR is genetically determined and declines with age. Studies have demonstrated thatMHR drops on average, one beat per year. Recently, it demonstratesthatMHRsof very healthy people do not drop off as much as those ofvery sanitary folks. Please keep this in mind.
* The following formula can be used to determine what your MHR should be around:
(1) 220 - Age = MHR (Men)
(2) 200 - Age = MHR (Women)
Only a high intensity workout on a treadmill, lap pool,or stationary bike, can truly determinea person's MHR. Such a test should only been done under the watchful eye ofa doctor or other such trained person.
2) Do you know Heart Rate Zones for effective workout?
In order to use a heart rate monitor in your training program, at first youneed to understandthe five heart rate zones and what each zone is used for. Each zone is measured as a percentageof your MHR. The five zones are as follows:
(1) 100% - 90%Interval (2) 90% - 80%Anerobic Threashold (Red)
(3) 80% - 70%Endurance (Green) (4) 70% - 60%Aerobic (Yellow) (5) 60% - 50%Recovery (Blue)
To be continued in next page
Each zone is used for a different purpose.
Knowing when and how each one should be used will allowyou to burn fat, increase endurance or improve overall speed at an accelerated pace.
The theory behind each zone is as follows:
(1) Interval - This zone is the highest intensity and should be use sparingly.
It is recommendedthat only about 10 - 25% of a person's total training should take place is this zone due to thepossibility of overtraining. Interval training is defined by short burst of extremely fast movementsfollowed by a rest period around one-half the time the exercise took. Improvement occurs becausethe body learns to adapt more muscle fibers on exercising. Only people who have a good foundation and are looking to improve their overall performance should use intervals in their training.
(2) Anerobic Threashold (AT) – AT is probably the bestmeasurement of a person’s fitness.
It is the point at which latices acid levels in a person'smuscles are great enough to cause tightness and fatigue. AT of most people is in the range of 80 - 90% of their MHR.
Unlike MHR, AT can be increased with repeated workouts, which sustain heart rates that are 3 - 5 beats less than your AT. Some research hasconcluded that a person's AT can improve at much as 30%. Improvement occurs due to the body’s ability to remove greater amounts of latices acid. To determine your AT,do repeat shortlyin medium runs, bikes or swims, decreasing you finishing timeon each one. The point at which you can no longer decrease your time due to fatigue isyour AT.
Remember the heart rate at which it occurs and see how it improves.
(3) Endurance - This is the level at which a good amount of your training will take place.
Endurance training is training at a level just below your race pace. Training at this levelimproves overall fitness. It helps improve both distance and speed performance by improving the respiratory system. Your body will slowly be about to collect and use more oxygen (VO2 Max).
(4) Aerobic - Almost everyone knows what aerobic exercise is.
It is the level ofexercise at which your body can keep the supply of oxygen traveling to the musclesfor using a fuel. Training at this level is also a great ways to adapt the body to longduration of exercise. The body adapts to long periods of activity by improvingthe respiratory system by way of lung capacity and blood flow. It also teaches the bodyhow to deal with the tears that endurance sports put on the body. One longdistance, aerobic, workout is necessary each week.
(5) Recovery - This is the lowest level, which is their heart rate to maintain their fitness level. Little improvement will come from training at this level, except for those just beginning. This level is used inrecovery step between intervals during a workout or as a recovery day after a hard workout on the previous day.
3) Guideline for effective workout
In order to save your time and get efficiency for workouts, you should plan your workout schedule for 4-week period.
Know exactly what you are going to be doing for the month.
When building a training plan,keep the following guidelines in mind.
To improve, at least three kinds of workout are needed.
Two will maintain your current level of fitness, but three will allow you to improve.
Do not more that one Interval workout per week (10 - 20% of your total workout volume).
Any more that this and you risk the possibility of overtraining or injury.
After Interval workout, Rest and Recovery steps should be followed.
The majority of your training should take place in the Endurance zone(50 - 75% of your total training volume)
The following is an example workout using Heart Rate Training Zones for a week period:
Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday / Saturday / SundaySwim / Interval / Endurance / Endurance
Bike / Interval / Recovery / Aerobic
Run / Endurance / Endurance / Aerobic / Interval
Remember thatit is very easy to do overtraining and you should do in your ability.
4) Why you need a heart rate monitor
In strengthening the heart, medical authorities and exercise specialists have established a "pulse range" which, in each individual, leads to optimal cardiovascular conditioning. This heart rate-which varies from individual to individual but which follows a standard formula-is commonly referred to as the "Target Zone."
The "Target Zone" describes the amount of activity sufficient to attain fitness within safe limits.
As a rule, the "Target Zone" is the level of activity capable of producing a heart rate from 55% to 90% of the maximum recommended heart rate during an all-out effort.
Obviously, without a heart-rate monitor it is almost impossible for a person to measure his or her pulse rate with any reliable accuracy. But HRM is also helpful in other ways.
According to the words of HRM expert and industry observer, David Sparrow:"Using HRM and setting an upper limit lets the user know when "to push it" and when "to back off." Monitors are adaptable to almost any aerobic endeavor, from walking to cycling to resistance training to swimming. And despite their portability, they are 99 percent as accurate as electrocardiogram machines that cost 100 times as much. More to the point, heart-rate monitors are the only reliable way to measure the heart while exercising." (D.Sparrow, Men's Fitness, October, 1993.)
