receiver. To put it on (diagram C),

a) Wettheconductivepadsontheundersideofthetransmitter with

water, sweat or a conductive gel to ensure a solid contact.

b) Strapthebeltacrossthechest.Adjustthestrapuntilthetransmitter

sits snugly below the pectoral muscles for an accurate heart rate

signal.

Hints:

• Theposition ofthetransmitter affectsitsperformance. Movethe

transmitteralong thestrapfor thebesttransmission.Avoid areas

with dense chest hair.

• The transmitter takes a while to function steadily in dry and cold

climates. This is normal as the conductive pads need a film of

sweat to improve contact with the skin.

EFFECTIVE RANGE

The transmitter and receiver will start transmitting and receiving

signals once batteries are in place. Both units should be worn or

mountedwithinaneffectivedistanceof62.5centimeters(25inches).

If the signals are unsteady,

• Shorten the distance between the transmitter and receiver.

• Re-adjust the position of the transmitter.

• Check the batteries. Replace them when necessary.

DISPLAY MODES

There are two display modes in HEART RATE:

• Heart rate and chronometer

• Heart rate and clock

Refer to fig 13 to change among the display modes.

HOW TO MEASURE HEART RATE

Select any display mode in HEART RATE mode. Once heart rate is

transmitted the heart indicator will flash and the measurement will

start from 0. The measuring range is 25 to 240 beats per minute.

When no signals are received or the measurement is out of range for

five minutes. The receiver will disable the function and automati-

callyreturntothepreviousoperatingmodeifnosignalsarereceived

or the measurement is out of range for more than five minutes.

Whenthe heartrateisdisplayed, you cangotoother functionswhile

measuring the heart rate in the background.

Note:

When measuring the heart rate, keep the watch away from signal

generating sources like PC's, Televisions, car engines etc., or else

irregular signal will be observed.

HOW TO SET HEART RATE LIMITS

Theheart rate limits helpyou determine if youare exercising within

your training zone. There are five preset training zones for you to

select or you can set them between 50 to 240 beats per minute. You

may select the preset training zone or alter the setting on the unit or

through the PC software (To connect the watch to the PC software

please refers to Section 7). When the heart rate alert alarm is

activated, an audible beep sound will flash whenever you go above

or below your limits.

Refertofig14tosettheheartratelimitsandtheheartratealertalarm.

Note:

a) The upper limit must be set higher than the lower limit.

b) The alarms may also be set through the PC software. To connect

the watch to the PC software please refers to Section 7.

HEART RATE HISTORY

Your OUTBREAKER is capable of retaining 99 heart rate records.

Each record contains:

• A time and date stamp

• Average heart rate and total exercise time

• Upper limit and time above limit

• Lower limit and time below limit

• Time within limit

Refer to fig 13a to scroll on the records.

Note:

When a record is selected, the information embedded in the record

will be scrolled automatically.
