Calorie Display

The PM800 will calculate your approximate calorie consumption

during a workout. Simply program the following information to

obtain this data which you can access during or after your training

session.

Note: The stopwatch must be activated if you wish to use Calorie

Fitting the Transmitter Belt

Wear the transmitter stretched around your thorax and under the

pectoral muscles. The Oregon Scientific logo must be visible in front

and not upside down. The elastic band should be adjusted snugly

enough so that the belt doesn’t shift while your breathing. Before

using, we recommend moisten the inside surface of the conductive

rubber pads with saliva or ECG conductive gel (available at your

local pharmacy). Finally, it may take a few minutes for the watch to

display an accurate count. This is normal and may take longer on

cool, dry days.

consult the data after a workout, stop the PM800 without resetting it!

Read the data first and then reset it. Otherwise, the data will be lost.

Countdown Timer

If you wish to workout for a set period of time, the Countdown Timer

is very useful. You can adjust it from 1 minute to 3 hours. Use it

similarly to the Stopwatch function but this time it will count down

Actual Heart Rate Monitoring

To consult your actual heart rate reading, you have the choice

between a couple of modes. For example, Actual Heart Rate with

Clock, or Actual Heart Rate with Stopwatch. A delay of 5-8 seconds

is needed for the watch to display your actual heart rate. The heart

icon will flash to confirm that data is being received from the

transmitter. If the heart icon doesn’t flash, there’s no data transfer. (If

the monitor flashes or the alarm sounds, this doesn’t mean that

there’s no data transfer, it means that you’ve reached your upper/

lower limits.)

Note: Memory functions are only activated when starting the

stopwatch. Consult the following pages for more information.

Heart Rate Memory Storage and Recall

The PM800 will memorize the time you spent above, inside and

below your set heart rate limits during a workout.

1. Press “MODE” until “STP’ appears. The stopwatch must be

stopped.

2. Press “MODE” and hold for about 2 to 3 seconds. The display will

scan between Upper Limit, Lower Limit, and Inside Limit.

3. Resetting the stopwatch will also clear the average heart rate.

Note: The stopwatch must be activated to use this function. If you

wish to consult the data after workout, stop the PM800 without

resetting it! Read your data first and then reset it, otherwise the data

will be lost.

Average Heart Rate Function

After a workout, you can consult the reached average heart rate. It is

determined by using the reached upper and lower heart rate readings

during a training session. It will be showed after the Heart Rate

Memory.

Note: The stopwatch must be activated to use this function. If you

wish to consult the data after workout, stop the PM800 without

resetting it! Read your data first and then reset it, otherwise the data

will be lost.

Training Zones

WARNING: Determining your individual training zone is a critical

step in the process towards efficient and safe training. Please consult

your doctor or health professional to help you determine your

maximum heart rate, upper and lower limits, exercise frequency and

duration appropriate for your age, condition and specific goals.

The following offers only very basic information to help you set your

watch. To learn more about Training Zones are training techniques,

please refer to the wide variety of books available on the subject.

In order to find your individual training zones, you must first

determine your individual maximum heart rate. This is the highest

number of times your heart contracts in one minute. A common way

to estimate this is to subtract your age from a given number like this:

Women: 226 minus your age

Men: 220 minus your age

Example for a 36 year old woman: 226 minus 36 = A maximum heart

rate of 190

Although very simple, this method can also be imprecise. We again

advise you to consult health professionals. To best determine your

max. HR. Training zones represent different levels of intensity in

reference to your individual max. HR.

There are several training zones that bear specific results in your

fitness program. The most popular zones range between 50% to 80%

of your maximum great rate. This is where you achieve cardiovascular

benefits, burn fat, and become fitter. When programming your

watch, the lowest % of the zone you choose becomes your lower

heart rate limit and the highest % becomes the upper heart rate limit.

Battery Change

If the heart rate readings become erratic or stop, your transmitter

battery may need replacing. You can do this by yourself very easily

without any special tools.

1. Open the transmitter battery lid with a coin by turning counter-

clockwise.

2. Insert one CR2032, 3V lithium battery with writing facing you.

Note: Take care not to touch the two contacts, otherwise the

battery can discharge.

3. Replace lid.

If you are unsure about the procedure consult your dealer.

Note: Disposed of improperly, batteries can be harmful.

Protect the environment by taking exhausted batteries to

authorized disposal stations.
