11 HEART RATE MODE
11.1 PRECAUTIONS
• Avoid fastening the strap too tight.
• Do not bend or fold the chest belt for preventing damage.
• Wetting the skin, where there is contact with the conductive area of the chest
belt will improve the conduction and get a more stable signal.
• The physical condition of an individual might effect the intensity of measured
signal.
• Avoid using the heart rate monitor close to a trolley car, a tram stop, transformer,
electric substation and high-tension distribution lines etc. The radio signal will be
affected under influence of the environment from high voltage and strong
magnetic fields.

Exercise zones are established by setting the Upper and Lower Heart Rate Limits.
These limits constitute a certain percentage of your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR).

Use the following Heart Rate Zone Chart to select the zone you wish to exercise in.
You should consult a medical professional when selecting a training zone,
especially if you have a heart condition.
