The Aerobic Zone, 65-85% -This range is recommended for those in good physical condition who
have been exercising on a consistent basis for an extended period of time. Exercising at this range
helps improve your fitness level and prevent injury caused from overtraining.
• Duration: 20-30 min. per workout.
• Frequency: At least 3 or 4 times per week.
The Anaerobic Zone, 85%-mHR - To be used by ultra-athletes only and never recommended
without close medical approval or supervision. This range is used only for those in extremely
good physical condition during races or training for competition. It is typically used for interval training
(or short sprints) to help improve or measure endurance levels.
Monitor Your Progress - Track yourself to determine how your overall health and fitness improves
and become aware of your various heart rate levels. As your cardiovascular system improves, your
normal resting heart rate will decrease. It will take longer to reach your target zone, it will take less
and less time for your heart rate to come back down after working out.
If you ever notice your resting heart rate to be higher than usual, it may be a good idea to take a rest
from exercise, or at least workout easier that day, Similarly, if you notice that your heart rate doesn’t
come back down as quickly as usual at the end of your workout, it could be an indication that your
workout was more (or too) strenuous, or that you haven’t recovered well enough from a previous
extraneous workout or injury. These signals in your heart rate could also be an indication of an illness
coming on, stress, or a good reason for a check up with your doctor.
Enjoy your new heart monitor and have fun! We’ll see you at the finish line.

Attaching Your Heart Monitor
1.) Attach the adjustable strap to one side of the transmitter. Push the round tab of the belt clip through
the back side of the attaching hole on the transmitter and twist it into place (Fig. 1). The unique angled
clip is designed to prevent the belt from slipping down your chest. It can be attached in either the up
or down position (keeping both the same). Depending on the contour of your torso, one direction may
be more comfortable than the other.
2.) Adjust the tension of the strap to fit snugly but comfortably, around your chest. Wrap the belt
around your chest as shown (Fig.2).
3.) Center and position the belt as shown, at heart level, just below your pectoral muscles or breasts (but not too low) and attach the
other end of the strap to the transmitter. The logo should be positioned at the center of your chest.
