3. START THE HEART RATE MONITOR: Stand at least six feet away from
any other users of the Timex Fitness Monitor. AFTER you have adjusted
the chest transmitter to a comfortable position, wait about fifteen sec-
onds and start the Monitor on the watch. If you are already in TIME OF
DAY, CHRONO or TIMER modes, press HEART RATE to measure your
heart rate. The heart symbol will appear in the upper display. When the
watch begins receiving the signal from the transmitter, the outline heart
will become solid and begin flashing. (Whenever you move into CHRONO
or TIMER mode the watch will automatically look for a transmitter signal
for 15 seconds. If no signal is found, the watch will stop looking for
heart rate signals until the HEART RATE button is pushed again.)
4. READ YOUR HEART RATE: When the watch establishes contact with the
transmitter, your heart rate (pulse in beats per minute) will be displayed
in bold digits in the upper line, or in the large digits in the lower line de-
pending on the watch mode and your preference setting in TARGET mode.
Operational Notes
Press and hold HEART RATE to turn the Fitness Monitor off.
When the watch establishes contact with the transmitter, your heart
rate (in beats per minute) will be displayed in the Upper Display. The
flashing heart will show an arrow under it, pointing downward, when
your heart rate is below the low target rate, no arrows while you are
within the target rate, and an arrow above the heart, pointing up, if you
are above your target range. When using the HRM in Chrono or Timer
mode, the heart rate will be displayed in the Upper Display and the
chrono or timer count in the Lower Display; a push of the HEART RATE
button will flip the values so that the pulse rate will be the larger dis-
play and the count will be smaller.
Heart Rate Display Position: You have the option of showing your heart rate
in the upper or lower display line while using the Monitor in CHRONO and
TIMER modes. Press and release HEART RATE to show the current setting.
While the setting is shown on the display, press HEART RATE again to tog-
gle it. The Display Position can only be changed from HRM SETUP MODE.
How the Timex Fitness System Works
The Fitness System is a combination of heart rate monitor and a sports
watch. The Heart Rate Monitor senses your heart rate on the chest. It cal-
culates your heart rate and transmits it to the watch. You simply glance at
the watch during exercise/training to make sure you are in the appropriate
Heart Rate Range to maintain or improve your fitness level (see any fitness
guide for target Heart Rate Ranges). If set, an Out of Zone alarm will auto-
matically alert you when you are not in your selected Heart Rate Range.
How To Use the Digital Heart Rate Fitness System
1. WET THE CHEST UNIT SENSOR PADS: Moisture MUST be applied to the
sensor pads before using the Fitness Monitor.
2. PUT THE CHEST UNIT
ON: Fasten the chest unit
snugly around your
chest, just below the
breasts. Be sure the
transmitter is centered
on the chest and is right
side up so the “Ironman”
logo can be read by
someone facing you.
