WARNING:

This is not a medical device and is not recommended for use by

persons with serious heart conditions. Consult your physician

before beginning any exercise program.

Interference with the radio signal, poor contact between your skin and the Digital

Heart Rate Sensor, or other factors may prevent accurate transmission of heart rate

data.

Digital Heart Rate Monitor allows you to lock one or more of

your workouts to reduce accidental deletion.

The watch also has an optional two-way wireless communication link

called the Timex Data Xchanger. With two-way communication, you can

upload data from the watch to a computer or download settings from a

computer to the watch. The radio provides seamless digital wireless

communication, reliable connections, and data transmissions between the

watch and applicable ANT+

devices.

A Fit Heart

Recent fitness findings indicate that anyone can get fit and stay fit without

being overzealous. It can be as simple as:

 Exercising 3 to 4 times per week.

 Exercising for 30 to 45 minutes during each exercise session.

 Exercising at the appropriate heart rate.

Heart rate represents the effects of exercise on all parts of the body.

Selecting the appropriate heart rate zone conditions the heart, lungs, and

muscles to perform at optimal levels to get and keep your body in shape.

Your Heart Rate Monitor can show you when you are in the exercise zone

you choose and signal you when you are not. It can help keep your body

exercising at an intensity level that can help you achieve your desired

fitness objectives without over- or under-exercising.

Determining Your Optimal Heart Rate Zone

There are five basic heart rate target zones described in the table above.

Simply select a zone that matches your percent of maximum (%) heart rate

based on the fitness goal you want to achieve during a particular exercise.

Before you can set your zone, you first need to determine your maximum

heart rate. You can use many methods to estimate your maximum heart

rate.

The booklet Heart Zones

®

Tools For Success included in your Heart Rate

Monitor packaging (U.S. customers only) provides excellent procedures

and Timex recommends you use one of these methodologies.

You might consider using the government recommended age-based method.

Prepare Your Heart Rate Monitor for First Use

Once you have determined your fitness goals and maximum heart rate,

Timex recommends you pair the watch with your Heart Rate Sensor, set

the time, and set other important data in HRM Setup Mode before using

your Heart Rate Monitor.

Note: For best results, Timex recommends that you wash your heart rate

sensor in warm soapy water to remove any manufacturing oils before

using for the first time.

 Pairing the Watch and Heart Rate Sensor: Timex recommends that

you pair the Heart Rate Sensor and watch to minimize the possibility of

picking up a signal from another person’s Heart Rate Sensor. To

accurately pair the watch with the Heart Rate Sensor, go immediately

to HRM Setup Mode prior to stopping at or using any other mode. For

more information on “Device Pairing” see the Table of Contents under

HRM setup.

 Setting the Time of Day: The Heart Rate Monitor uses the time set on

the watch to record data. To ensure you are recording data at the

correct time, set the watch for your local time in Time of Day Mode.

For more information on Time of Day Mode see its section in the Table

of Contents.

 Entering Your Personal Data: Before using your watch it is important

to enter your weight and maximum heart rate in HRM Setup Mode.

This will allow you to tailor your Heart Rate Monitor to your personal

9

Begin with the number 220 and then subtract your age. For instance, a

35 year old would begin with 220 and subtract 35 (the person’s age),

which gives an estimated maximum heart rate of 185. Once you know

your maximum heart rate, you can enter it in HRM Setup Mode and the

watch will automatically setup your zones as described in the table on the

previous page.

Heart Rate Monitor Setup and Use

Chrono and Interval Timer Modes collect heart rate data and record

detailed statistics for a workout. The Heart Rate Monitor can store

information for up to 10 workouts.

NOTE: The watch will collect heart rate data without the Chrono or Interval

Timer running. This information will not be available in Review Mode, but

can be transferred from the watch to a computer (Timex

®

Data Xchanger

USB device is required). If you have the optional USB device, you can

upload workout data to a computer for storage and viewing. When the

watch can store less than five hours, or only three more sessions, of heart

rate data, the watch will display the MEMORY LOW message. When the

watch has reached its storage capacity limits, the display will read

MEMORY FULL.

When the watch is not used with a computer these messages will be

skipped. Unless you lock a workout, you will automatically over-write an

older workout when you have reached your 10-workout limit.

Chrono Mode Example

23

Twice a week, you run in the hills behind your house and you use the chronograph

to time your workout. You have divided the run into four segments:

1) from your house to the beginning of the hill,

2) from the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill,

3) from the top of the hill back down, and finally

4) from the end of the hill back home. At each of these landmarks, you press the

START button to begin timing a new lap. After five weeks of storing the same

workout, you are able to track your progress over time to see whether or not your

time is improving for each of the lap segments.

Chrono Display Format

You can set the Chronograph to show either the lap or split time on the

lower display line.

1. Stop and reset the Chronograph.

2. Press and release the STOP/RESET/SET button. You will see FORMAT

on the display, followed by SET, and then the current format setting.

3. Press START/SPLIT (+) to select the format you would like.

4. Press STOP/RESET/SET (DONE) to save your setting and return to the

Chrono.

Note that although the format setting implies that Chrono time values are

shown in both the upper and lower display lines, when using the Chrono

without the heart rate sensor, the upper display line is reserved for the lap

number, so only the lower line of timing information is shown. However,

when using the Chrono with the heart rate sensor, it is possible to see

both lap and split timing information at the same time if desired.

Chrono Mode Notes & Tips

 Press MODE to switch to Time of Day Mode while running the

chronograph. The stopwatch icon (W) will appear to indicate the

chronograph is still operating.

 When the chronograph is running along with the Heart Rate Sensor you

can change the Chrono Mode display by pressing HEART RATE.

Interval Terminology

 Interval Training: You can use interval training to help you vary the

intensity level within one workout, ultimately helping you work out

longer and harder.

 Interval: Intervals relate your exercise to specific periods of time. For

instance, you can run for ten minutes, walk for two, run for twenty

minutes, and then walk for five – this would represent four training

intervals.

 Repetitions (Reps): The number of times you choose to perform an

interval group. In the example above, if you choose to run the interval

group three times, you will go through your series of ten, two, twenty,

and five minute timings three times in sequence. This would represent

3 reps.

Set or Adjust Intervals

You can set the watch to set and store up to five intervals labeled INT 1

through INT 5.

1. Press MODE until Interval Mode appears, showing the most recent

interval settings.

2. Press STOP/RESET/SET until the words INT TIMER SET briefly appear

on the display followed by SET followed by the current setting for

Interval 1 and INT with the number 1 flashing at the top of the display.

Interval

Interval Timer Mode offers a flexible five-interval countdown timer that can

be set to repeat up to 99 times. This mode is useful when your workout

includes distinct segments such as using a run/walk method in which you

run for a specified period of time and then walk for a specified period of

time.

 With the interval timer running along with the Heart Rate Sensor you

can change the Interval Mode display by pressing HEART RATE. Choose

from:

1. Heart Rate over Interval Time (per interval);

2. Interval Time (per interval) over Heart Rate;

3. Heart Rate only; or

4. Interval Number/Repetition Number over Interval Time.

 If an interval is set to 00:00:00, the watch will automatically skip over

that interval. For example if INT 3 is set to 00:00:00 then the watch

will move from INT 2 directly to INT 4.

 When you set target heart rate zones in Interval Mode, they override

those set in HRM Setup Mode. For example, if you have set the watch

to ZONE 2 in HRM Setup Mode but set INT 3 to ZONE 3, the watch will

record heart rate data for ZONE 3 and not ZONE 2 while in Interval

Mode. This is particularly important if you set the watch to alert you if

you go above or below your target heart rate zone.

 The repeat setting applies to the entire group of settings; you cannot

have the Interval Timer repeat twice for INT 1 and only once for INT 2.

2928

Heart Rate Data When Using Interval Mode

When you operate the watch in Interval Mode with the Heart Rate Sensor,

you will accumulate heart-related data in Review Mode, including:

1. Amount of time your heart rate stays within your target heart rate zone

(shown as IN ZONE in Review Mode);

2. The average heart rate for the complete time the Heart Rate Sensor

was operating and the interval timer was running (shown as AVERAGE

in Review Mode);

3. The average heart rate for each recorded interval (shown with interval

times in Review Mode); and

4. Peak and minimum heart rates for the complete time the Heart Rate

Sensor was operating and the interval timer was running (shown as

PEAK and MINIMUM in Review Mode).

Interval Mode Notes & Tips

 When the watch accumulates information concerning time in target

heart rate zones, the information is an aggregate for the time in all

zones, not the time in zone for each individual interval.

 If all workouts are locked in Review Mode you will see the message

WORKOUTS LOCKED - UNLOCK IN REVIEW. In this instance, the watch

cannot save any data for a workout.

Interval Mode Example

For cross training purposes, you decide to add a one-hour spin session to your

workout routine. You decide to use Interval Mode to help you track both time and

heart rate for your workout. You set the following intervals for your workout:

You use INT 1 as a warmup. INT 2 and INT 3 represent the core of your workout

at an increasing heart rate goal, striving for 5 minutes of high intensity aerobic

workout. Finally, INT 4 is a cool down between repetitions and at the end of the

workout. In addition, you set the repetitions to 2, which allows you to repeat this

workout sequence twice for a strong one-hour interval workout routine.

Interval Time Heart Rate Zone

INT 1 00:05:00 NONE

INT 2 00:18:00 ZONE 3

INT 3 00:05:00 ZONE 5
