The electrodes, which pick up the heart signals, are integrated right into the strap for added flexibility and comfort.

Attach the adjustable strap to the transmitter belt. Insert round end of clip through the hole and twist gently.

Moisten the transmitter electrodes by applying a small amount of water on each of the two contact areas.

Strap the transmitter belt around your chest just below the chest muscles. Adjust the tension of the elastic strap to fit snugly, but comfortably around your chest.

Modes of Operation

Time of Day - Displays time and date with alarm features. Use a 12 or 24 hour clock system. Set daily alarm. Watch returns to Time Mode automatically when no heart rate is received for 5 minutes.

Heart Rate - Displays current heart rate when transmitter belt is worn. Set your Target Heart Rate Zone or determine your zone automatically with the EZ-Set Target Zone feature.

EZ-Set Target Zone - Determines personal heart rate limits for an exercise session. The EZ-Set Target Zone feature can determine an individual light to moderate intensity exercise zone (65-85% of the maximum heart rate). The Acumen Heart Rate Monitor will automatically calculate lower and upper heart rate limits limits based on your age-predicted maximum heart rate (220 minus age). You can also program your own Target Heart Rate Zone with user defined values.

In-Zone Goal Countdown Timer - Set 0 - 60 minute timer to begin when Target Heart Rate Zone is reached.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Pulse Meters measure blood flow rate in the finger or earlobe with a photoelectric (light) sensor that measures changes in blood flow and translates them into a "beats per minute" reading. Heart Rate Monitors, which are much more accurate, measure the electrical activity of the heart directly, similar to an electrocardiogram (ECG) in a doctor's office, through electrodes worn on the chest and count the number of electrical signals that tell the heart to beat.

A: The heart, like any other muscle, can be strengthened by physical exercise. For the best results, exercise should be vigorous enough to condition the cardiovascular system, but not so strenuous that it's harmful. Using a Heart Rate Monitor during exercise provides the precise control necessary to safely achieve your goals and provide the maximum benefit from your training session.

A: A Heart Rate Monitor measures the electrical frequency of your heart, the number of beats per minute at which your heart is operating. Heart Rate Monitors have proven to be 99% accurate in comparison to an ECG machine.

A: Heart rate is the number of heart beats per minute; the times per minute that the heart contracts.

A: The average of heart rates measured during an exercise period.

A: Resting heart rate is the number of beats in one minute when you are at complete rest. Your resting heart rate indicates your basic fitness level. The more well-conditioned your body, the less effort and fewer beats per minute it takes your heart to pump blood to your body at rest. If you take your resting heart rate in the morning, you can learn a lot about your fitness level.

A: Maximum Heart Rate (Max HR) is the highest number of times your heart can contract in one minute. Max HR is the most useful tool to be used in determining training intensities, because it can be individually measured or predicted.

A: Recovery heart rate is usually determined at the end of your work out. It is the rate at which your heart rate has decreased towards your resting heart rate. Recovery heart rate is usually used as a fitness evaluation; the theory is the faster your heart rate decreases the better physical shape your body is in.

A. Your Target Heart Rate Zone represents the minimum and maximum number of times your heart should beat in one minute of exercise. It is recommended that individual's exercise within 65% to 85% of your maximum heart rate. Here is a simple formula for determining your target zone.

220-age = Max Heart Rate (MHR)

MHR X 65 - 75%= Light to Moderate Intensity Zone
MHR X 75 - 85%= Moderate to Heavy Intensity Zone

The Fat Burning to Target Heart Rate intensity zones best suits a beginner, sedentary or overweight exerciser. The Target Heart Rate to Anaerobic intensity zones suit the fitness enthusiast who is looking to improve their fitness level and may even want to begin training for competitive reasons.

This formula is recommended for the beginner to active exerciser and should be used as a guideline. The only accurate way to determine your true range is to determine your true maximum heart rate by means of a stress test performed under medical supervision.

A: Yes it is. The transmitter is water resistant to 30 meters (100ft). However, you should never press any buttons on the watch receiver while under water because you will break the watertight seal.
