Wireless heart rate monitors can be influenced by interferences of external radio frequencies. Electronic training devices at fitness clubs, mobile phones, wireless bicycle computers, high voltage transmission lines or the like can cause irregular transmitter pulses and be the reason why 0 is indicated on the display during the training. When training in groups, other heart rate transmitters can interfere with your signal which will lead to a false heart rate display. To get correct signals, keep a distance of approx. 2 metres to other users of heart rate monitors.
SETTING THE TRAINING ZONE
The heart rate monitor will enable you to set a specific training zone with an upper and lower heart rate limit. The display will indicate your current heart rate during the training. A flashing value and an arrow pointing upward or downward will tell you that you are outside of your set training zone. In addition, an audible alarm can be set. The arrows will disappear as soon as your current value is within the preset training zone.
TYPE OF TRAINING - HEALTH BENEFITS Formula: lower limit: MHR x 0.50 upper limit: MHR x 0.65
TYPE OF TRAINING - ENDURANCE TRAINING Formula: lower limit: MHR x 0.65 upper limit: MHR x 0.80
TYPE OF TRAINING - MAXIMUM LOAD Formula: lower limit: MHR x 0.80 upper limit: MHR x 0.95

For setting the training limits, the monitor has to be in the training zone mode, i.e. it will alternately be indicated on the display how long you were in the upper (HI), in the lower (Lo) and in the desired (In) training zone.

For calculating the training limits, your maximum heart rate (MHR) has to be taken as a basis. To determine your maximum heart rate, please consult your doctor or your trainer. If you do not know your maximum heart rate, you can estimate it on the basis of the following formula: MEN : 220 minus age = maximum heart rate (MHR) WOMEN : 230 minus age = maximum heart rate (MHR) Calculate the upper and lower training limit of your kind of training by multiplying your maximum heart rate with the factors listed below. Choose your desired kind of training here.
You cannot set a lower limit which is higher than the upper limit. In this case, the upper limit will again be shown on the display so that you can set it again.
Press the mode button again to return to the training zone mode.
