USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
Wireless Heart Rate Sensor
Main Unit
Chest Belt Heart Rate Sensor
The chest belt heart rate sensor is based on the electrocardiograph methodology used in hospi-
tals. The MSC-2Dx uses this technology but in a simplified and miniaturized form. In this meth-
odology, electrodes attached to the body sense the differences of electric potential and thus
heart rate is measured. In the same manner, MSC-2Dx's chest belt sensor uses two built-in
electrodes that come into contact with the body to detect differences in electric potential. The
signal is then transmitted to the main unit and heart rate is displayed.
Reference:
Maximum transmitting distance: about 90 cm.
Before Wearing Chest Belt Heart Rate Sensor
Warning !!!
Pace maker users should never use this device.
NOTE !:
• Wear the chest belt heart rate sensor at the center of your chest and in contact with your skin.
• To increase measurement effectiveness, dampen the electrode area with water or electrocar-
diograph electrolyte cream.
• People with sensitive skin can wear the chest belt over a thin shirt with the electrode area
damped with water.
• Hair on the chest may interfere with accurate measurements.
• Do not use this unit with other cordless devices (including CATEYE CC-CL200) or some
lamps (including CATEYE Stadium Light). Interference might occur, resulting in incorrect
measurement.

Wearing the Heart Rate Sensor
NOTE !:
When wearing the chest belt heart rate sensor, ensure that the top mark on the transmit-
ter comes to the top. If worn upside down, signal’s transmittable distance might become
shorter.
1. Adjust the length of the belt to fit your chest.
2. Hook the attachment belt to the electrode belt. Place the electrode area at the center of your
chest. Be sure that the electrode area is held firmly against your skin.
Reference: When wearing the chest belt heart rate sensor over a shirt it is necessary to
moisten the electrode area for the better results. In the winter season when
skin can be dried, errors may occur even when the electrodes are in direct
contact with your skin. This can be improved by moistening the electrodes.
3. Adjust the belt so that the transmitter is at the center (just above your diaphragm) of your
chest.
Wear the chest belt heart rate sensor in the legible way (the top mark on the transmitter
should come to the top).

Refer to the Tire Size Reference Table below to determine
your tire's circumference. For the most accurate setting
you can perform a “wheel roll-out”. To do this pump your
tires up to normal pressure. On a level area place the valve
stem perpendicular to the ground and mark the spot. Get
on the bike and with your weight bearing on the tires roll
one complete wheel length forward. Mark where the valve
stem is perpendicular to the ground again. Measure the
distance between the two. This number in millimeters is
the most accurate calibration number you can put into the
computer.

HEART RATE TRAINING
The following is very general information about heart rate training. There are many good books
on the subject. Visit a local bookseller or visit our web site for more in depth heart rate training
information.
In general, heart rate goes up while exercising. The harder you exercise, the faster your heart
will beat. In this way, heart rate is a good indication of the exercise intensity. By setting your
target heart rate and making an effort to maintain that rate, you will be able to work out more
efficiently. Before starting a training program, consult a medical specialist or trainer.
1. For improving your general fitness
Bicycling is one of the best activities to improve your general fitness. To improve your overall
fitness through bicycling, set your target heart rate zone from the training level of between
30% and 70%, depending on your physical strength. It is desirable to work for twenty to thirty
minutes a time, at a frequency of more than three times a week. To obtain your target zone,
see the table below, which illustrates the correlation between heart rate and training level.
For beginners, it is recommended to start with the level of 30%. From this point, gradually
increase the level according to your fitness level and experience. For a purpose of improving
your health, 70% is considered to be the highest goal.
For the purpose of losing weight, work at a comparatively lower level for a longer period. For
maximum benefit you will want to workout for more than one hour at a time.

2. For competitors
Measure your resting heart rate just after awakening in the morning and your maximum heart rate
(perhaps during competition). Then set your target zone according to your goal:
A) For longer physical-endurance
Aiming at races which last for many hours
or over consecutive days:
60% - 70% (aerobic exercise)
B) For physical-endurance which lasts about two hours
70% - 80% (aerobic exercise)
C) For pushing power at full force for about a minute
more than 85% (anaerobic exercise)
D) For instantaneous maximum power which lasts for several seconds (sprinting)
more than 95% (anaerobic exercise)
(Target heart rate) – (Resting heart rate)
(Maximum heart rate) – (Resting heart rate)

The following calculations are generally used: (220 – age) or (240 – 0.69 x age).
For more precise figure, consult a training specialist.
