About this watch

If you wish to take care of your body, you will need to eat a balanced diet and take

adequate exercise. It is also advisable to visit your doctor for regular health checks.

These, however, can be supplemented by accurately measuring your pulse yourself.

The pulse, of course, is an excellent indicator of the state of your health and your

general fitness level. Thanks to this Fitness Watch, taking your pulse now becomes

child's play. And at any time, day or night. The Fitness Watch is the ideal aid for fit-

ness fans, sportspeople and others.

But don't forget:

The Fitness Watch is not a medical device for measuring heart rate. It should on no account be

considered a substitute for proper medical advice.

You should only use the watch as an aid in your daily healthcare and fitness regime.

If you suffer from a heart condition or any other illness, are aged 60 or over, or are just em-

barking on an exercise regime, you are strongly recommended to consult your doctor before

using the Fitness Watch.

For best results, you should take a break from exercising or keep your movements

to a minimum when using the watch to measure your pulse. This is because the ECG

signal can be disrupted or exaggerated by muscle noises, depending on your build

and body-type.

When cycling, you will certainly need to take a break for safety reasons when you use the

watch.

The at-rest pulse

The healthier and better-trained your heart, the more regularly it beats*. Why is

this? Well, regular exercise "trains up" your heart. This means that its performance

improves, enabling it to move more of your blood with a lower number of pulse beats.

For this reason, your "at-rest pulse" rate is an important measure of general fitness.

A useful tip: measure your at-rest pulse rate regularly, either just before going to

sleep or immediately after you wake up.

*Caution: certain heart conditions can result in a significantly slower pulse rate.

Be sure to consult a doctor before using your Fitness Watch!

Heart rate training

The American Heart Association recommends that people exercise at 50 to 75% of

their maximum heart rate. This maximum pulse rate is calculated for each person

as follows: 220 minus the person's age.

For example, for a person aged 42: 220-42=178. Here, for ideal aerobic training,

the heart rate should remain between 89 and 133.5 beats per minute (50% and

75% of the maximum).

It is also recommended that you exercise for not less than 20 to 30 minutes at a time. A fun-

damental rule applies, though: if it feels good, it's healthy. Don't overdo it!

By pressing certain buttons you can activate

the various modes of the watch, switch on

the light, or change the settings on your Fit-

ness Watch.

When the watch is not being used, it shows

the time, date and day of the week. If you

stop using the Fitness Watch in a particular

mode, it reverts to this state.

The alarm tone sounds for a period of 30 seconds and can be stopped by pressing

any of the buttons. The alarm sounds before all the other tones.

Heart rate tone

The heart rate tone sounds when a heart rate has been measured.

Upper/lower limit tone:

If the heart rate being measured goes above or drops below the upper or lower limit,

a longer alarm tone will sound.

Hourly signal:

A tone will sound on the hour when the watch is in Real Time Mode.

Countdown tone:

The final 5 seconds of a countdown are signalled by a tone.

Measuring your heart rate

You can measure your heart rate when using any function apart from the Setting

and Test Modes. Heart rates of between 40 and 239 bpm can be measured.

• If the heart rate being measured exceeds 239, no heart rate is shown on the dis-

play. If the upper or lower limit is exceeded, an upward or downward-pointing ar-

row will be displayed.

• A longer tone will sound when your pulse moves out of the current heart rate zone,

for example when moving from the IN zone to the OUT zone.

The heart symbol will flash on the display while the heart rate is being measured.

When the heart rate has been measured successfully, a tone will be heard and the

rate shown on the display. The current heart rate is shown for a further 5 seconds

on the display after the K2 button is released. If no signal is received for a period of

will form a bar chart.

• You can store up to 60 at-rest heart rates. The watch will display the most recent

at-rest heart rates together with your estimated maximum heart rate.

Note: Only the rates measured for your fitness check and recorded using this menu item will

be used.

The display will revert to Real Time Mode if no selection is made for 1 minute.

If you want to start recording your heart rates afresh, or if you want to give this watch to a

further user, reset the watch as described under point 38 (Other settings/Reset) first.

• Calories used will only be calculated while the stopwatch is running.

• Calories are reset to zero whenever the stopwatch is reset or when the maximum

figure (99:59:59:99 h) has been reached.

• The formula used to calculate the number of calories is:

KCAL/minute =

MHR X 3.5 x weight in kg

200

Here, the MHR (maximum heart rate) is based on the following parameters:

At-rest heart rate (RHR)

Current heart rate (CHR)

Estimated maximum heart rate (EMHR)

Men

For an at-rest heart rate (RHR) <60:

1+ ((CHR-RHR) : (EMHR-RHR)) x 12

For an at-rest heart rate (RHR) >=60:

1+ ((CHR-RHR) : (EMHR-RHR)) x 10

For an at-rest heart rate (RHR) >=80:

1+ ((CHR-RHR) : (EMHR-RHR)) x 8

Women

For an at-rest heart rate (RHR) <60:

1+ ((CHR-RHR) : (EMHR-RHR)) x 10

For an at-rest heart rate (RHR) >=60:

1+ ((CHR-RHR) : (EMHR-RHR)) x 8

For an at-rest heart rate (RHR) >=80:

1+ ((CHR-RHR) : (EMHR-RHR)) x 6

Here, the EMHR is based on the following equation:

Men Women

214 -0.8 x Age 209 -0.7 x Age

• Hold down the

LIGHT button for 2 seconds in order to switch to the Calories Mode

and enter your personal settings.

• Press the ST./STP. button to set the following user parameters:

- Gender (M: male/F: female) - Age (4-99)

- Weight (20-227 kg) - Height (20-240 cm, 8''-7'10'')

- Target calories (10-9990 LB, EMHR (65-239))- Log interval (10-60 sec).

• By pressing the

SET button you can switch between KG and LB (pounds) for the

weight setting and between cm and feet/inches for the height setting.

The EMHR (maximum heart rate) can be changed manually, and the new EMHR will

change automatically when the gender and age parameters are changed.

• Press the

MODE button to move to the next setting option.

Technical Data

• Press the SET button to display the number of calories used over the week, the

weekly chart, the fat burn, and the resulting estimate of BMI (body mass index).

• In each of its seven columns (Sun-Sat), the chart will show the number of calories

used per day. This is updated daily at 0.00 hours.

Here the fat burn and the BMI are worked out using the following equations:

Fat burn (lb) =

Recorded calories

3500

BMI =

Weight

Height x Height

• Up to 9999 kilocalories (Kcal) can be shown. After that point, a figure of >9999

will be displayed.

• The BMI heart symbol will be shown in 5 stages, depending on the particular BMI,

as shown in the following table:

BMI Stage

<18.5 Underweight 0

18.8-24.9 Normal 5

25.0-29.9 Overweight 4

30.0-34.9

obese

a. obese: obesity: where a person's weight exceeds his or her ideal

weight by more than 20%.

35,0-39,9 Obese 2

Setting the heart rate merasurement zone automatically

If the heart rate measurement zone is set automatically, the watch will use the per-

sonal details you entered when in KCAL Mode.

• Press the

ST./STP. button to change the heart rate zone. (Health, Fat burn, Fit-

ness).

• - The "Health" zone is equivalent to 50-65% of your EMHR.

• - The "Fat burn" zone is equivalent to 55-75% of your EMHR.

• - The "Fitness" zone is equivalent to 65-80% of your EMHR.

• Press the

ST./STP. button to switch the heart rate alarm tone on or off.

• The display will revert to Real Time Mode if no selection is made for 1 minute.

Note: You cannot switch to the Calories Setting Mode while the stopwatch is running.

Setting the heart rate zone manually

• Press the ST./STP. button to increase the upper limit (HI (41-239)) and lower limit

(LO (40-HI)).

• Press the

MODE button to move to the next setting option.

• Press the

ST./STP. button to switch the heart rate warning tone on or off.

To calculate your training limits you should set your maximum heart rate (MHR). This

can be roughly calculated using the following formula:

Men: 220 minus age

Women: 230 minus age

Consult your doctor or personal trainer to determine the maximum heart rate suited

to your precise personal circumstances.

You should now calculate your upper and lower pulse limit for your preferred style of

training. To do this, multiply your maximum heart rate by the factor corresponding

to your preferred training style.

General health training:

Lower limit: MHR x 0.50;

Upper limit: MHR x 0.65.

Endurance training:

Lower limit: MHR x 0.65;

Upper limit: MHR x 0.80.

Training "to the max":

Lower limit: MHR x 0.80;

Upper limit: MHR x 0.95.

Example:

A 35 year-old woman wishing to undertake a course of endurance training sets her

lower training limit at 127 (230 - 35 = 195 * 0.65 = 126.75), and her upper trai-

ning limit at 156 (230 - 35 = 195 * 0.6 = 156).

We strongly advise that you discuss your personal training regime and your personalised heart

rate zones with your doctor or a qualified coach or instructor.
