Press to set the time. The hour display flashes. Press . The minutes display flashes. Press to set the to set the minutes. Manual calculation To calculate the training limits, take your maximum heart rate (MHR) as a basis. It is normally calculated using the following formula: Men : 220 minus age Women : 230 minus age To determine your personal, maximum heart rate, consult your doctor or your trainer. The achieved calorie consumption and the fat breakdown are calculated from the measured heart rate when the training stopwatch is activated. Before training you can change the parameters as required. Otherwise the standard settings for the type of sport are used. The calorie consumption is measured at a heart rate of more than 100 beats/minute and only after the training stopwatch has been started.

If this is not the case enter Calorie mode by pressing the button. Please refer to the enclosed activity list or the table above for the three digit codes. When the calorie mode is open the KCAL entry is displayed on the lowest line of the screen. In order to make the settings the stopwatch must show 0:00:00! The stopwatch mode gives the option of recording up to 16 lap times (lap time mode this mode is pre-set in the factory). And you can also measure your training progress over several weeks (recovery time mode). Press to open stopwatch mode.

STW FITL 1 72 The fitness level attempts to assess the level of physical activity achieved. For this the time that passes after exercise until the heart rate value goes back to "normal" (=recovery heart rate) is measured; it determines the heart rate after a certain period of time (5 minutes) after exercise ends. If no signal is received for approx. 5 minutes, your heart rate meter will automatically switch to power-save mode. Only the time and date are displayed. Press any button to "wake up" your watch. Reset Hold down all 4 buttons for approx. 3 seconds. All the existing messages are displayed on the screen at the same time. Press the button. The watch counts down from 3 to 0.

Is the transmitter too far away from the watch? Are sources of electrical interference preventing faultless transmission? Is the transmitter battery empty? 52 2 to 3 In Calorie mode the display switches every 2 seconds between KCAL (current calorie consumption) and BMI (the body mass index calculated from your personal data). If you hold the button for longer than two seconds the screen switches to KG mode (refer to Page 45). About BMI: 3 The body mass index states the ratio between height and weight. The BMI is calculated by dividing the weight [kg] by the height squared [m²]. The formula is: BMI = body weight : (body height in m²) Therefore the unit for the BMI is kg/m². For example: A person is 160 cm tall and weighs 60 kg. Their BMI is 23.4. [60 : (1.6 m)² = 23.4]. The "ideal" BMI depends on age. The following table lists BMI values for The calorie and fat burning values are only displayed when the stopwatch is operating and if the pulse is at least 100 beats/minute. Click to enter the KCAL mode. The calories consumed and your BMI are shown in succession. Press for approx. 2 seconds to open the KG mode. The estimated fat breakdown is displayed (in 10g intervals up to 1.3 kg). Press to switch the display from kg to lb. When lb (English pounds [lb] = 453.59 g) is selected the entered weight is also displayed in lb. The display is black: The ambient temperature is outside the operating range (0° to 55°). The display is blank: The receiver battery is empty. To exchange the receiver battery, refer to a specialist watch shop or to the Service Hotline.

Environmental protection notes Milieu-informatie 53 Empty batteries do not belong in the household rubbish, but in the collection bins for this purpose. Before disposing (end of life) of your heart rate meter, you must remove the batteries! Open the battery compartment on the chest strap and turn the battery lid in the direction of the arrow using a coin. Now you can remove the transmitter battery and dispose of it. Remove the four screws at the back of your heart rate meter with a small Phillips screwdriver. Carefully lift one of the wrist strap halves from its bracing by using a screwdriver and remove the cover.

The measured heart rate is displayed on the top right. USET Frequency interferences Wireless heart rate meters can be affected by interference from external radio frequencies. Electronic training devices in fitness clubs, mobile phones, wireless bicycle computers, high voltage lines or similar can cause irregular transmission pulses which could cause a "0" to appear in the display during training. When training in groups, other heart rate transmitters may overlay your signal and cause an incorrect heart rate display. To receive correct signals, maintain a distance of approx. 2 metres to other users of heart rate meters.
