Acumen Adjustable Heart Rate Transmitter Chest Belt |
|
 |
|
 |
|
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. |
Frequently Asked
Questions
Q:
What is the difference between Pulse Meters and Heart Rate Monitors?
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.
Q:
Why use a heart rate monitor?
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.
Q:
How does the Heart Rate Monitor work?
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.
Q:
What is heart rate?
A:
Heart rate is the number of heart beats per minute; the times per
minute that the heart contracts.
Q:
What is average heart rate?
A:
The average of heart rates measured during an exercise period.
Q:
What is resting heart rate?
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.
Q:
What is maximum heart rate?
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.
Q:
What is Recovery Heart Rate and the benefit of knowing it?
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.
Q:
What is Target Heart Rate Zone and how can I determine mine?
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.
Q:
Is it possible to use the HRM while swimming or while doing other
water sports?
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.

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
