2. General information
This pulse measuring instrument is used for recording your pulse rate. You can use the various ad-
justment facilities to assist your individual training program and monitor your pulse. You should mo-
nitor your pulse during training, firstly to protect your heart against excessive strain and secondly to
achieve an optimum training effect. The table will give you a few tips on selecting your training zone.
Please note: Maximum heart rate reduces with increasing age. Details concerning the training
pulse must therefore always be related to maximum heart rate. The following rule of thumb is
used to determine maximum heart rate.
Maximum heart rate = 220 minus age
Example for a 40-year-old person: 220 – 40 = 180

Pulse measurement without a chest strap:
This heart rate monitor has an optical finger sensor allowing the pulse to be measured at the left-
hand index finger, so that a chest strap, regarded as very annoying by many users of conventional
monitors, is no longer needed. Women in particular often find that wearing a chest strap is unple-
asant.
The entire system of heart rate monitor with optical finger sensor and glove holder has been special-
ly developed for use when jogging, running and hiking. Correct positioning of the sensor is particu-
