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.
Watch Buttons
Once set, your Digital Heart Rate Monitor can automatically 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.

The Timex® Websites offer beneficial information to help you optimize your
Digital Heart Rate Monitor.
Before you can set your target 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 Personal Heart Rate Monitor packaging (U.S. customers only)
provides excellent procedures and Timex recommends you use one of
these methodologies.

However, if you cannot use any of the procedures described in Heart
Zones® Tools for Success (U.S. customers only), you might consider using
an age-based method.
3. Press MODE until your desired mode appears. You can
view heart rate information in Time of Day, Chrono, or
Timer Modes.
4. While standing at least six feet (two meters) away from
other heart rate monitors or other sources of radio or
electrical interference, press the HEART RATE button on
your Watch. The hollow heart rate icon will appear on
the display indicating the Watch is searching for a signal from the
Sensor. When the Watch begins receiving a signal, the outlined heart
becomes solid and begins pulsing.
Begin with the number 220 and then subtract your age. For instance, a 35
year old would begin with 220 and subtract 35 (her age), which gives an
estimated maximum heart rate of 185. Once you know your maximum
heart rate, you can set the zones described in the table on the previous
page.
DIGITAL HEART RATE MONITOR
5. Begin your activity.
Before You Begin
NOTE: The Watch automatically records your heart rate and other
statistical data about your activity (available in Review Mode) only if
you operate Chrono Mode during your activity.
Once you have determined your fitness goal and maximum heart rate,
Timex recommends you input this information into the HRM SETUP Mode.
This will allow you to tailor your Digital Heart Rate Monitor to your
personal parameters. For information on HRM Setup Mode, refer to pages
25 to 30.
6. If the Watch is set to alert you when you go above or below your
chosen target heart rate zone press and hold HEART RATE button to
turn the audible alert off. Otherwise it will continue beeping until you
return to your target zone. When you are turning the audible alert off,
you will see the message HOLD ALERT OFF. Continue pressing HEART
RATE button until you see the message ALERT OFF. Conversely, when
you are turning the audible alert on, you will see the message HOLD
ALERT ON. Continue pressing HEART RATE button until you see the
message AUDIBLE ALERT ON.
To Use Your Digital Heart Rate Monitor
For more detailed information on the use and care of your Digital Heart
Rate Monitor, refer to the Fitness Sensor User Guide that shipped with
your product.
1. Wet the Digital Heart Rate Sensor pads.
2. Center the Sensor on your chest with the Timex® logo facing up and
out and fasten it firmly, just below your sternum.
7. When you have finished your activity in Chrono Mode, press
STOP/SET/RESET to stop recording data for the activity.

TIME OF DAY
Your Watch can act as an ordinary timepiece, displaying the time, date, and
day for two different time zones using a 12- or 24-hour format. Note that
you must independently set the time of day for each time zone.
Digital Heart Rate Monitor Notes & Tips

Time of Day Notes & Tips
O
You can return to Time of Day Mode from any other mode on the
Watch by pressing MODE until the time of day appears.
Time of Day Example
O
The Watch does not automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time.
When switching between Standard Time and Daylight Savings Time,
you must manually adjust the hour value.
Assume that you live in San Francisco and work with a client in Singapore.
Like all busy people, it is imperative you keep track of time, so you set T1
to your local time. But it is also important to have a quick reminder of your
client’s time, so you set T2 to Singapore time. With both time zones
available, you can quickly check your client’s time or even switch your
Watch to display T2 when you travel to Singapore.
O
The Watch automatically moves from February 28 to March 1. To
accommodate a leap year, you must manually set the date value to
February 29. The Watch will then automatically move from February 29
to March 1.
O
O
At any time during the setting process, you can save your changes and
return to the main time display by pressing STOP/SET/RESET.
While setting the Watch, if you do not press any buttons on the Watch
for a period of 2 to 3 minutes, the Watch will automatically save
whatever changes you have made and will exit the setting process.

RECOVER
About Recovery Heart Rate
Heart rate recovery provides an indicator of fitness and training level. As
you become more fit, your heart rate should return more quickly to a
lower heart rate value at the end of your activity, indicating a higher level
of cardiovascular fitness.
1) Countdown Time;
2) Zone Trainer bar/Heart Rate;
3) Zone Trainer bar/Countdown Time;
4) Heart Rate/Countdown Time;
5) Countdown Time/Heart Rate; or
6) Heart Rate only.
A slower recovery rate might also indicate a need to take a
break from training due to fatigue, illness, or other factors.
Your recovery rate represents the change in your heart rate over a period
of time. Your Digital Heart Rate Monitor records the change in your heart
rate for either a 1- or 2-minute period.
Timer Mode Example
As part of your overall health plan, you decide to take a 30-minute walk
during your lunch hour two times per week. To help keep track of time so
you do not return late from your lunch hour, you set the timer to 15
minutes. After 15 minutes the Watch beeps telling you to begin walking
back to your office. You immediately start another 15-minute countdown,
helping you track how much time you have to return to your office.
