CONGRATULATIONS!

Welcome to the future of wireless heart rate technology! Your

purchase today shows that you are serious about your exercise and

are committed to achieving your best. Today, getting the most from

your exercise doesn’t necessarily mean you have to spend longer

periods of time to achieve those goals. With Target Heart Rate

Training, you will increase the effectiveness of your workout by

monitoring and quantifying your results every step of the way. For

most individuals as little as 20 minutes in your target heart rate zone

each session is enough to achieve substantial health improvements.

The Vetta HR440 will act as your personal coach and guide you to

your fitness goals more effectively.

WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

Overexertion can cause serious injury, including heart attacks. Some

individuals cannot safely elevate their heart rate to the levels of

typically used heart rate training zones. No one should begin an

exercise program without first obtaining medical clearance,

especially if there is a personal or family history of heart disease,

high blood pressure, or if you are over age 40, have diabetes, high

cholesterol, smoke cigarettes, are overweight or are taking certain

medications. Stop exercising and seek medical attention if you

notice signs of overexertion or heart problems, such as pain or

pressure in the left or mid-chest area or left neck, shoulder or

arm, light-headedness, cold sweat, unusual paleness or

fainting. Also note that the signals used by this monitor may inter-

fere with a pacemaker or other implanted devices, consult the man-

ufacturer of the implant device and/or your physician prior to using

this monitor.

SETTING THE CLOCK/CALENDAR

What is Target Zone Heart Rate Training?

In order to benefit the most from your workout, you need to

become familiar with your heart rate training zone. By working

within the correct range, you will achieve your fitness goals and

strengthen your cardiovascular system in less time. Here is basically

how it works.

Effective conditioning requires that you maintain your heart rate at

the proper level for at least 20 minutes per workout (or per day). At

too high of a heart rate your activity can become counter effective.

For most people, as your heart rate exceeds 85% (the upper limit),

your body begins to become anaerobic and produce acids. This also

burns less fat which can begin to burn and strain muscles, and even

start storing fat.

As for the Lower limit, this number tells you when you have reached

a level of intensity that is productive. A heart rate monitor will tune

you into your body’s internal activity level and helps prevent injury

or worse.

To make this part easy for you, this monitor automatically sets the correct

target zone for you, after you enter in your age in the heart rate setup

mode. The internal auto-setting is based on a generally accepted

standard range of 65 to 85% of your max HR (where max HR = 220 -

Age).

There are many variations of formulas for calculating target zones.

In most cases they will come up with a range very close to or the

same as the auto-setting of this monitor. If you prefer to fine-tune or

program your own limits, this can be done in the 2nd portion of the

HR Setting Mode (see page 8). The internal automatic TZ calculation

is based on the following example:

DETERMINING YOUR TARGET ZONE

The alarm sound for both the Daily Alarm and the Target Zone

Range can be turned ON or OFF by pressing the ALARM button.

To indicate this, the alarm indicator on the display will switch ON

or OFF.

To switch the Daily Alarm ON or OFF, press the button while in

the Time Mode. When this alarm is beeping it can be silenced by

pressing any button.To activate or deactivate the Target Zone Alarm

Sound, simply press the button while in the Heart

Rate/Stopwatch Mode.

SETTING ALARM SOUND ON AND OFF

TARGET ZONE CALCULATION FORMULA

220 - Your Age = max HR

For a 30 year old person, your

calculations would be as follows:

220 - 30 = 190 Maximum Heart Rate

65% of this number = 123.5

85% of this number = 161.5

Start from the Heart Rate/Stopwatch

Mode

1. Press & hold the SET button to enter

the setting mode.

2. Interval Timer (blinking) --Set the min-

utes pressing the MODE or ALARM but-

ton (0-99 min., default is 0). Press the

LAP button to proceed.

3. Target-Trac (blinking) --Set the Goal

Alarm pressing the MODE or ALARM

button (5 min. blocks 0-60, default is 20

min.). Press the LAP button to proceed

to the next item.

4. Exercise Factor (blinking) --Set by

pressing the MODE or ALARM button

(see exercise chart on page 13). Range

1- 20, default is 5). Press the LAP but-

ton to proceed to the next item.

5. Age (blinking) --Set by pressing the

MODE or ALARM button (Range is 7-99,

default is 30). Press the LAP button to

go back around to the Interval Timer or

the SET button to proceed to Calorie

Set-Up.

SETTING TIMERS, CALORIE INFORMATION

& TARGET ZONE

Note: If you want to use the built-in EZ-Setting of 65-85% of

your max, set only your age and skip the next section by press-

ing SET.

AGE

The calculated exercise range for a 30 year old would be a low of 124

and a high of 162 beats per minute. You should never exercise near

your maximum heart rate (max HR) for any period of time.

CUSTOMIZING TARGET ZONE

Note: Calorie Setting information is

necessary to correctly calculate calo-

ries burned.

1. After setting the timers in the first sec-

tion of the setting mode, press the SET

button to access Calorie Setting.

2. Target Zone High (blinking) --Set by

pressing the MODE or ALARM button

(TZ High auto-sets based on age set-

ting, modifying it is optional.). Press the

LAP button to proceed to the next item.

3. Target Zone Low (blinking) --Set by

pressing the MODE or ALARM button

(TZ Low also auto-sets based on age set-

ting, modifying it is optional.). Press the

LAP button to proceed to the next item.

4. Gender (blinking) --Set by pressing

the MODE or ALARM button. Press the

LAP button to proceed to the next item.

Press the SET button to exit to the

Heartrate/Stopwatch Mode.

DETRMINING YOUR EXERCISE FACTOR

The Exercise Factor Setting is one of the variables used by the watch

in estimating the amount of calories burned during your workout.

The most common forms of exercise are listed in the chart below.

These numbers represent a moderate to high-effort level range.

Select a number from the chart below based on how hard you plan

to exercise for a given activity and set your unit accordingly. (See

Setting instructions on page 11).

We’ve highlighted the most common forms of activities. If you do

not find the particular activity you are looking for, refer to one that’s

similar.

Note: Any items not set will default to standard average val-

ues. The TZ limits automatically set to 65-85% of your max.

based on your age setting (where Max. = 220 - Age) (every

time the age setting is changed). This watch will allow you to

program your upper and lower limits within one beat of each

other. It will also allow you to set either limit to the "off" posi-

tion, but it will not let you set the lower limit higher than the

upper or the upper to less than the lower.
