TIPS
•
The position of the chest belt affects its
performance. Move the chest belt along the
strap so that it falls above your heart.
• Avoid areas with dense chest hair.
• In dry, cold climates, it
may take several
minutes for the chest belt to function
steadily. This is normal and should improve
with several
minutes of exercise.

USEFUL REFERENCE
TARGET ZONE
To help achieve maximum health benefits from
your workout programme, it is important to
know your:
• Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
• Upper heart rate li mit
• Lower heart rate limit
MHR is expressed
in beats per minute. You
can get your MHR from an MHR test, or you
can estimate it by using the following formula:
220 - age = MHR
The watch is pre-programmed with 5 target
zone options, each with its lower and upper
heart
rate limit, as listed in the table below.
Lower Limit Upper Limit
Zone 1 50% x MHR 60% x MHR
Zone 2 60% x MHR 70% x MHR
Zone 3 70% x MHR 80% x MHR
Zone 4 80% x MHR 90% x MHR
Zone 5 90% x MHR 100% x MHR
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.
There are three categories of training as
described in the table below.
The upper and lower heart rate limits are
calculated by multiplying your MHR by the
percentages of the selected training category.
For example:
A 40-year-
old 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%
IMPORTANT Always warm up before exercise
and select the training category that best suits
your physique. Exercise regularly, 20 to 30
minutes per session, three to four times a week
for a healthier cardio
vascular system.
WARNING Determining your individual training
category is a critical step in the process
towards an efficient and safe training
programme. Please consult your doctor or
health professional to help you determine
exercise frequ
ency and duration appropriate for
your age, condition and specific goals.
