WEARING THE CHEST BELT
The heart rate chest belt is used to count your heartbeat and transmit
the data to the watch. To wear the chest belt:
1. Wet the conductive pads on the underside of the chest belt with few
drops of water or a conductive gel to ensure a solid contact.
2. Strap the heart rate chest belt across your chest. To ensure an
accurate heart rate signal, adjust the strap until the belt sits snugly
below your pectoral muscles (Figure 3).
Figure 3
Tips:
•
The position of the chest belt affects its performance. Move the
chest belt along the strap so that it falls above your heart.
Avoid areas with dense chest hair.
•
•
In dry, cold climates, it may take several minutes for the chest belt
to function steadily. This is normal and should improve with
several minutes of exercise.
NOTE If the watch is kept idle without receiving a Heart Rate signal for 5 minutes,
the Heart Rate mode will quit and return to Clock mode.
ACTIVATING THE BACKLIGHT
Press LIGHT to turn on the backlight for five seconds.
NOTE The backlight does not work when the low battery indicator
is
shown. This is to conserve battery power, and will return to normal
once the batteries are replaced.

USER PROFILE
To access the full benefits of using the VIBRA-TRAINER PRO sports
watch, set up your user profile before you exercise with the watch. This
will automatically generate a fitness index, and allows you to track your
progress over time.
With the user profile, you can enter information about yourself to help
determine your proper fitness index level (described on page 8). The
user profile includes the following metrics: sex, age, weight (kg or lbs),
height (feet / inches, or centimeters), and activity level.
The activity level is based on your own self-assessment of the amount
of exercise you regularly perform.
Activity level
Description
0
Low – You do not usually participate in programmed
recreation sports or exercise.
1
2
Medium – You are engaged in modest physical
activity (such as golfing, horseback riding, table
tennis, calisthenics, bowling, weight lifting, yard
work, or gymnastics) two or three times a week
totaling one hour per week.
High – You actively and regularly participate in
heavy physical exercise (such as running, jogging,
swimming, cycling, or skipping rope) or engage in
vigorous aerobic exercise (such as tennis,
basketball or handball).
Refer to the “Changing the Settings” section to set your user profile.
Once you complete your user profile, a fitness index is automatically calculated and
displayed for you. Refer to page 8 for a description of the fitness index.

NOTE You can display and adjust your user profile at any time. For example, if your
level of physical activity changes, or you celebrate a birthday, you may want to
update your record.
NOTE You must set up your user profile to use the calorie count and fat burn features.
ABOUT THE FITNESS INDEX
Your VIBRA-TRAINER PRO will generate a fitness index based on your
aerobic fitness, or your capacity to engage in any form of aerobic exercise.
This index is dependent and limited by the body’s ability to deliver oxygen to
the working muscles in training. It is often measured by maximum oxygen
uptake (VO2 Max), which is defined as the highest amount of oxygen that
can be utilized when exercising at an increasingly demanding level. The
lungs, heart, blood, circulatory system, and working muscles are all factors
in determined VO2 Max. The unit of VO2 Max is ml/kg min.
Generally, the fitness range is from 13 to 53. The higher the index, the fitter
you are. For your reference, an average 37-year-old man has an index
between 39 and 48.
DISPLAYING THE FITNESS INDEX
Press MODE to access the User mode. Then, press MEM to display
your fitness index.
NOTE If you have not completed your user profile, the fitness index
will not display.
ABOUT THE SMART TRAINING PROGRAM
It is important to know your maximum heart rate (MHR), your training
zone, upper heart rate limit, and lower heart rate limit before you begin
any exercise program. These metrics help you achieve the maximum
health benefits from your workout.

SMART TRAINING PROGRAM
Your VIBRA-TRAINER PRO watch is equipped with a special SMART
TRAINING PROGRAM that tracks your heart rate during exercise. This
automatically sets your personal upper and lower heart rate limits, which
are monitored as you exercise. Alternatively, you can calculate your own
heart rate limits following the instructions below:
Sex
MHR
Lower limit
Upper limit
Men
220 – age = MHR
MHR x
MHR x
(upper training zone %)
(lower training zone %)
Women 230 – age = MHR
TRAINING ZONES
There are three training zones, as described below.
Training Zone
MHR %
Description
Health Maintenance
50 – 65%
This is the lowest training intensity level
(50 – 65% MHR). It is good for beginners
and those who want to strengthen their
cardiovascular systems.
Aerobic Exercise
65 – 80%
80 – 95%
Increases strength and endurance. It
works within the body’s oxygen intake
capability, burns more calories, and can
be maintained for a long period of time.
Anaerobic Exercise
Generates speed and power. It works at
or above the body’s oxygen intake
capability, builds muscle, and cannot be
maintained for a long period of time.
The SMART TRAINING PROGRAM will guide you through from a 5-minute warm up
to the end of your exercise program. In addition to monitoring your heart rate and
alerting you whenever you fall out of the range for the selected training zone, the
Program allows you to check the calories consumed and the percentage of fat burned.
You can also check the percentage of calories consumed through burning fat.

HEART RATE ALERT
The VIBRA-TRAINER PRO is equipped with vibrate and sound heart
rate alerts that you can set at your preference. The vibrate alert is useful
for times when you do not want to disturb others who are exercising, or
when you do not want your competitor to know that you are reaching the
limit.
When the alert is activated, a flashing down arrow or up arrow will appear
on the display whenever you surpass your heart rate limits. Depending
on which setting you selected, the watch will either vibrate, sound with a
2-beep warning, or alert you with both alarms.
The heart rate alert is set with the SMART TRAINING PROGRAM
parameters. Refer to the previous section for instructions.
NOTE Using the vibrate feature consumes battery life at a faster rate than
the sound alarm.
NOTE If the watch is kept idle without receiving a Heart Rate signal for 5 minutes,
the Heart Rate mode will quit and return to Clock mode.
