6 GENERAL INFORMATION FOR TRAINING This heart rate monitor serves to measure the human pulse. By means of various settings, you can support your individual training program and monitor your pulse. You should monitor your pulse during exercise because you should prevent your heart from exces-sive strain on the one hand and on the other in order to achieve the optimal training results. The table provides you with some informa-tion on the selection of your training zone. The maximum heart rate reduces with advancing age. Information on the training heart rate must therefore always be in relation to the maximum heart rate. The following rule of thumb helps to identify the maximum heart rate: 220 - age = maximum heart rate The following example applies to a 40-year-old person: 220-40 = 180 Max. heart rate rangeEffectSuitable forTrainingHeart/health programmeFat burning zone Fitness programmeEndurance trai-ning programmeAnaerobic training50 - 60% 60 - 70% 70 - 80% 80 - 90% 90 - 100%Strengthens the heart and the circulatory systemIdeal for beginnersRegenerative trainingThe body burns the highest per-centage of calo-ries from fat.

9 GBTRANSMISSION OF SIGNAL AND METHODS OF DEVICES MEASUREMENT Receiving range of the heart rate monitor Your heart rate monitor picks up the heart rate signals sent by the chest strap transmitter within a range of 70 centimeters. Your HR monitor receives the signals from the Speedbox within a range of three meters. Sensors on the chest strap The entire chest strap consists of two components: the actual chest strap and an elastic tension belt. On the inside of the chest strap contacting the body, there are two rectangular, corrugated sensors. Both sensors determine your heart rate ECG exactly and transmit this to the heart rate monitor. The digital transmission works almost without interference. Your HR monitor only receives the signal from the corresponding transmitter. There can be no interfering signals from other transmitters. The chest strap is not compatible with analogue devices, such as e.g. ergometers. Signal transmission from the diagnostic scale The Beurer Diagnostic Scales BG56 are also available at special-ised dealers and offer additional options for comprehensive weight management. You can measure your current weight and your body fat at any time with the scale and transmit them to the HR monitor. The weight values registered manually in the HR monitor are then updated by the values of the scale.
10 Measuring device of the Speedbox Your HR monitor has all the functions to analyze the signals from the Beurer Speedbox. A multidimensional measuring device is installed in the Speedbox. This calculates the acceleration of your foot and transmits this value to the HR monitor. The HR monitor displays the distance covered and the speed, which is calculated from the accel-eration and the time of each individual pace. The following diagram shows the measured movements of feet over two paces depending on the type of pace i.e. walking, jogging, run-ning and sprinting. Quelle: Dynastream Technology
11 GBAltitude, air pressure and temperature measurement With your HR monitor you can measure the altitude above sea level, the air pressure and the temperature. The altitude is calculated according to the present air pressure. The measurement principle of the monitor is based on the assumption that the air pressure changes are caused by a change in the altitude. The air pressure decreases at higher altitudes. As a rule of thumb: An altitude difference of 10 m causes a change of 1.25 hPa in the air pressure at sea level. To be able to measure the altitude correctly, you have to set the exact reference altitude of your location on the monitor before start-ing the training. If the air pressure changes during training due to the different weather conditions, the altitude displayed will be different from the actual altitude. Big variations in air pressure are a sign of a weather change. During the course of a day, it is possible to have consider-able variations in air pressure. Therefore, the altitude displayed on the monitor should be compared from time to time to the reference altitude of your location and adjusted if necessary. The altitude details of your location can be taken from a topographi-cal map, for example. The body temperature can have a strong influence on the temperature displayed as well as if the monitor is also cov-ered by clothing. The monitor should be removed from your wrist for approx. 2 hours to enable a correct temperature measurement.
12 GETTING STARTED Insert battery/Change battery If you do not want to insert or change the battery yourself, please bring it to a watchmaker. The battery compartment of the HR monitor is located on the back of the monitor. Place the monitor with the front facing downwards on a soft surface and insert the battery as follows: 1 Using a coin, turn the lid of the battery compartment anticlockwise until the lid comes off. 2 Only when changing the battery: remove the battery from the battery compart-ment with the aid of a pointed, non-metallic tool, e.g. toothpick. 3 Put the battery into the battery com-partment in such a way that the battery is underneath the clip and the transpa-rent insulation sheet and the positive pole (+) faces upwards. Lock the battery into place.
13 GB4 Check the seal. The seal has to lie flat in the casing of the monitor and there must be no visible damage to it. The impermeability of the monitor cannot be guaranteed otherwise. 5 Turn the lid clockwise with your fingers without pressure for at least one turn until the lid is level with the battery com-partment. Caution! Do not continue to turn the lid, if it cannot be turned into the battery compartment without resistance. Repeat the process after changing the position of the lid. The thread could be dam-aged otherwise. 6 Tighten the lid with the coin until it stops so as to guarantee continued imperme-ability. 7 The monitor is now in power-saving mode and only displays the current time and the date. Press any button in order to activate the HR monitor.
14 Putting on the heart rate monitor You can wear your heart rate monitor like a wrist watch. If you would like to use the HR monitor when riding a bike, fix the monitor to the handlebars. This improves the signal transmission greatly. Use the assembly bracket supplied and fix the HR monitor firmly on to the handlebars so that the monitor does not slip when riding the bike. Initial activation of the heart rate monitor You can activate your heart rate monitor from the transport mode by pressing any button for 5 seconds. Activating the heart rate monitor from power saving mode If the heart rate monitor has not received any signal for approx. five minutes, it switches to the power saving mode. At that point, only the current time and the date will be displayed. Press any button in order to reactivate the watch. Putting on the chest strap  Tighten the chest strap with the elastic tension belt. Adjust the length of the belt such that the belt is snug, but neither too loose nor too tight. Position the belt around the chest such that the logo is fac-ing outwards and in the correct position directly over the breast bone. For men, the chest belt should be located directly below the pectoral mus-cles, for women, directly below the breast.  Since optimal contact between the skin and the heart rate sensors can not be created immediately, it may take some time until the heart rate is measured and displayed. If necessary, alter the posi-tion of the transmitter in order to achieve optimal contact. Most of the time, sufficient contact is achieved through the accumulation
15 GBof sweat beneath the chest strap. You can, however, also wet the contact points on the inside of the chest strap. For this, lift the chest strap up from the skin slightly and wet the two sensors with saliva, water or ECG gel (available at chemistry). The contact be-tween skin and chest strap may not be interrupted also with grea-ter movements of the thorax such as during deep breathing. Sig-nificant chest chair can interfere with and even prevent contact.  Put on the chest strap a few minutes before starting in order to warm it up to body temperature and establish optimal contact. Pairing the signals from the device The digital transmitters (chest strap, Speedbox, diagnostic scale) and receiver (HR monitor) have to be paired. If you buy each device separately, e.g. as a replacement, or if you change the batteries, then you have to pair the devices before use. You can find out how to pair the devices by reading the chapter “Basic settings”, section “Pairing the device signals”. Connecting the devices Your HR monitor receives signals from the digital transmitters, chest strap and Speedbox, as soon as you have activated them and have changed into the Training menu by pressing the menu button. How you can identify on the display whether signals are being re-ceived: If the heart symbol flashes, then the heart rate is being received from the chest strap. If “0” is displayed in the 1st line for a longer period, then the HR monitor cannot receive the signals from the chest strap. The display “0” can occur in the Training, Time and Spd’nDist menus. In this case, change into the Training menu with the menu button. The HR monitor tries once more to make contact with the devices.
16 Attaching the Speedbox Put on the Speedbox as described in the manual of the Speedbox. Calibrating the Speedbox You will get the most accurate results if you calibrate your Speed-box. You can read how to calibrate your Speedbox in chapter “Speed and distance”, section “Calibrate the Speedbox”. Weight management data You can transmit your weight data and your body fat from the diag-nostic scale to the HR monitor. Your can read how to transmit the data in chapter “Results”, section “Transmit weight management data”.
