you sell the heart rate monitor or give it away, please ensu-
re that you also pass on these instructions.
The heart rate monitor is wrapped in packaging to
protect it against transportation damage.
Packaging is raw material and can be re-used or added to
the recycling system.
When you have unpacked everything, check that the
parts below have been included:
- Heart rate monitor

- These operating instructions
Warranty card
This monitor runs on a battery. Please note the following on
handling batteries:
• Keep children away from the battery.
• Do not throw the battery into a fire, do not short-cir-
cuit it and do not dismantle it.
• If necessary clean the battery and device contacts
before insertion.
• Please note the polarity (+/-) when inserting the bat-
tery.
• If the monitor is not going to be used for long peri-
ods, remove the batteries.
• Remove an empty battery immediately from the he-
art rate monitor! There is an increased risk of leaka-
ge! Remove a leaking battery from the monitor
immediately.
• Do not expose the battery to extreme conditions; for
example do not place the monitor on radiators! The-
re is an increased risk of leakage!
• If this is not adhered to the battery may be dischar-
ged beyond its final voltage and leak! Remove the
battery immediately to avoid damage.
• Remove the battery if the device is not used for a lon-
ger period of time.
• Never try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
There is a risk of an explosion!
• Replace the batteries only with the same or equiva-
lent type.
• Contact a doctor immediately if a battery is swallo-
wed.
• Clean the contacts before inserting a new battery.
There is a risk of skin irritations from battery acid! If
battery acid leaks out it is essential to avoid contact
with the skin, eyes and mucous membranes! If the
acid does come into contact with skin, immediately
rinse the affected areas with plenty of clear water
and contact a doctor immediately.
Note!
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is not exchanged
properly!
Batteries should not be disposed in the household rub-
bish. Each consumer is legally obliged to dispose of bat-
teries properly at the appropriate disposal points.
At the end of its life, the heart rate monitor should not be
disposed of with the household rubbish. Enquire about the
options for environmentally-friendly disposal. Before dis-
posal always remove the battery from the monitor!

Pulse rate
The pulse rate or “pulse frequency” describes the
number of blood impulses leaving the heart. This is fre-
quently measured by feeling any available artery (neck,
groin, wrist).
Heart rate
The term “heart rate” describes the number of electri-
cal excitations emitted by the heart. This can therefo-
re be measured electrically, e.g. with an
electrocardiogram (ECG).
In general the heart rate matches the pulse rate. With cer-
tain types of arrhythmia the pressure of the heart contrac-
tions may be too low and thus produce no measurable pulse
rate.
About this appliance
Those who want to live in a healthy manner should eat
a balanced diet and exercise adequately. It is also ad-
visable to continuously check your general health with
a doctor. You can support this by measuring your pul-
se accurately yourself. After all the pulse is an excel-
lent indicator of fitness. You can read your current
pulse with the fitness watch. Therefore the fitness
watch is the ideal companion for those who enjoy fit-
ness, sportspeople etc.
But please note
that the fitness watch is not a medical heart rate monitor! It
can and must not replace a doctor!
Only use it to aid daily fitness checking.
For heart patients, those who are ill, older people or those
starting to train: always consult your doctor before using the
fitness watch!
Do not use the heart rate monitor when swimming or playing
sports that could result in injury. The monitor casing is
splash-proof but not waterproof!

Resting pulse
The healthier and fitter your heart, the quieter is its
beat, even at rest. Why? Regular movement trains
the heart. This increases its performance and it can
move more blood with fewer beats. Therefore the re-
sting pulse is an important indicator for physical fit-
ness. Our tip: measure your resting pulse regularly,
either just before sleeping or immediately after waking
up.
Caution: Certain heart illnesses result in a very slow pulse.
Before using your fitness watch it is essential for you to con-
sult a doctor!
Training range
Your heart beat should remain inside the training ran-
ge throughout training. The heart rate training range
is recommended at 50-75% of maximum heart ran-
ge. This is calculated individually as follows:
220 minus age.
An example:
At an age of 32: 220-32=188.
The ideal aerobic training range is between 94 and
141 (50% and 75%) beats per minute.
i
Do not train for less than 20-30 minutes. However, it is ba-
sically true that if it is pleasant it is healthy. Do not overdo it!
i
When the watch is in the default
screen it shows the time, date and day
of the week. If a mode is no longer used
the fitness watch returns to the default
state after one minute. You can also
return to the initial display at any time
by holding down
ESC
for approx. 2 sec-
onds.
ESC:
Hold down for 2 seconds
to switch on background
lighting. When in a menu
press this button to leave
the menu.

K1 und K2
The watch starts measuring
the heart rate automatically
when you press
K1
with your
index finger and
K2
with your
thumb at the same time. You
can open this function at any
time except during entry (dis-
play flashes) During the meas-
uring process the heart
symbol on the screen flashes.
At the start of heart rate measurement, there may be diffe-
rent or fluctuating measurement values. Therefore only start
training when the values displayed on the screen have nor-
malised.

Switch background lighting on/off
You can light up the display on your fitness watch. For
this press
ESC
for approx. 2 seconds. The light
switches itself off automatically after a few seconds.
Time function
In addition to the date and time you can also set a sec-
ond time zone. You can also set up to 8 alarms daily
or for a particular day of the week.
Monitoring training
You can monitor training using the preset (FITNESS,
FAT BURN or HEALTH. HLT) or individually set (USER)
training range.
Measuring the heart beat
It is possible to measure the heart beat in each
function except during entry (display flashes). The
heart beat is measured from 40 to 200 bpm.
If the heart beat measured exceeds 200 the screen
no longer shows the heart beat.
You can select an alarm tone that will sound when you
exceed the upper or lower limit.
During the measuring process the heart symbol on
the screen flashes. Once the heart beat has been
successfully measured a tone is emitted and the value
is shown on the screen. The current heart beat is
displayed on the screen for a further 5 seconds when
you release the K2 button. If no signal is received for
more than 5 seconds the screen displays the mode
that is currently set.
Stopwatch and countdown
You can use your fitness watch to set a stopwatch and
lap time measurement or to countdown during
training.
Pacemaker
To monitor your training you can set a pacemaker that
sounds at a pre-set interval.
Resting pulse memory
You can save up to 60 measured values as your
resting pulse.
Calling up memory
The saved values can be called up and shown
graphically with the relevant date. A weekly summary
also allows you to display the highest value or average
value for a week.
Calorie counter
The calories burned are counted in the training menu
during training. In addition, the watch calculates and
displays the calories burned from fat using the heart
beat.
You can also state a target calorie number and the un-
used calories can be called up after each training ses-
sion. For this the heart beat must be measured
regularly.
First set the date and time so that you can assign the pulse
measured during training to a time and date.
