Guidelines governing use

Normal conditions of use :

This heart rate monitor consists of a watch

and a chest belt.
The watch is designed to be worn on the wrist or on its bicycle support during the
practice of various light sports in a temperate climate. It indicates time and date
and measures intervals of time manually with its stopwatch function.
The pectoral belt must be placed on the chest. If it is positioned correctly,
it transmits information on your heart rate to the watch. If placed in the reception
cone, the watch then displays your heart rate and sounds an alarm if you exceed
the "target zone" that you are able to program yourself.
The purpose of this information is the planning and optimization of your shape-up
program or training.

Restrictions on use / guidelines governing use

•

Waterproof design: This watch is waterproof to 5 atmospheres. It can therefore

be use in humid conditions, in heavy rain, in the shower and for swimming.
However, avoid diving and wearing the watch at a depth of below 5 meters. Do not
move the buttons underwater.

•

The chest belt is only "water-resistant". It is therefore impermeable to sweat and

can be used in the rain or under damp clothing. It must not be worn in the shower,
however, and must not be used while swimming.

•

Treat the watch with care; do not drop it or bang it.

•

Do not dismantle the watch. This will render the guarantee invalid and could cause

damage and loss of waterproofing.

•

Please read guidelines carefully before use. Retain these guidelines for as long

as you have the watch.

•

Do not manipulate the buttons under water, and do not go beyond the depth

indicated by the following table with the watch.

•

Do not subject the watch to extremes of temperature. If the watch is subjected to

direct sunlight for a long period, the display may darken temporarily, but will go back to
normal once the temperature has dropped again.

•

Clean the watch and the belt with a soft, damp cloth only. Do not use detergents

since they may damage the materials of your watch. Only the elastic of the belt
may be machine washed (30°).

CAUTION!!!

This device is designed for use in sports and leisure activities. This is not a medical
monitoring device. The information provided by this device or this booklet are
for information only and must not be used for monitoring a pathology except after
consultation with and the agreement of your physician.
Even athletes in good health must take into account that the determination of
your maximum heart rate and your personal training zone is a vital element in the
scheduling of effective, risk-free training.
The advice of your physician or health professional is recommended for
determining your maximum heart rate, your upper and lower cardiac limits and the
frequency and duration of exercise adjusted for your age, physical condition and
targeted results.
Finally, because of possible disturbances generated by the radio transmission
system, we do not recommend that persons who wear pacemakers use a heart
rate monitor utilizing this technology, like the CW600.T

Not taking these precautions may entail serious risk.

Wearing the chest belt.

The chest belt acts as a sensor
and emitter. It measures
the differences in potential
created on the surface
of the skin by the beating
of your heart. Then it sends
this information to the watch by radio signal.
The quality and precision of the measurements depends on correct positioning,
but also the comfort during practice.
As indicated in drawing 1, the sensors are the surfaces of black rubber on both
sides of the central part.

Measurement sensors

Installation procedure

Wet the sensors with water or a water-based conducting gel to ensure

good contact.

Introduce one rib of the elastic into one of the holes on the belt

provided for this purpose.

Attach the belt around the chest, then position

the belt just below the pectoral muscles with
one of the sensors under the heart and the
other under the right pectoral.

Adjust the length of the elastic so that it holds

firmly but is still comfortable. The belt must not move
around if you jump or move your arms.

Check the positioning of the belt by bringing it

to 50 cm from the watch. The heart rate
should flash on the display. If it does
not flash normally:

- reduce the distance between the belt

and the watch

- adjust the position of the belt and wet

the sensors well

- check that the batteries are good, especially

in the belt

- go to cardio mode (procedure in paragraphs 6 and 7)

and press

to test the connection

ATTENTION :

Avoid positioning the sensors in areas that are too hairy.
In cold and dry climates, the belt may need several minutes to function correctly.
This is normal because sensors need a film of sweat to ensure contact with the
skin.
When it first begins measuring, the watch may indicate very elevated values for
about for about 20 seconds. This is because the algorithm is initializing.
The display will stabilize at correct values after this interval of time.
Take precautions when fixing the elastic strap in the hole of the belt provided for
this purpose. Maintain the ergot by placing your finger behind the belt.

The battery used in the watch is a CR 2032.

Watch :

We recommend that you not change the watch batteries yourself,

but rather have the job done by a specialized DECATHLON repair shop. If you change
the battery yourself, you may damage the seal and lose both the water tightness
and guarantee on the product.
Please check the availability of the battery with your dealer before replacing it.

Pectoral belt :

If the heart rate indications become inconsistent, or if the

heart monitor light on the watch does not flash when it is close to the belt, it may
be necessary to change the battery in the chest belt.
You can easily change the belt battery yourself, without the aid of any particular tool.

Changing procedure :

unscrew with the aid of a coin, then remove the cover of the battery compartment.

remove the old battery by tapping on the opposite side of the belt.

replace the used battery with a lithium 3V type CR2032 battery without touching
it on its 2 terminals (it may discharge), with the +terminal (printed surface) up.

carefully replace the cover, then screw it down again by a quarter turn to the
"CLOSED" position

If there is a problem, contact your retailer.

Problem

1 – Heart rate is not

displayed.

2 – Watch display is faint

or illegible.

3 – Heart rate displayed

races or is unrealistically
high.

4 – Rate displayed at the

start of a session is
inconsistent.

5 – Product is malfunctioning.

6 – Device beeps when

the heart rate function
is used.

Cause

1.1 – The electrodes are not moistened enough.

1.2 – The belt is incorrectly positioned.

1.3 – Belt battery low or flat.

2.1 – HRM watch battery is low.

3.1 – The device is capturing interference.

3.2 – You are receiving another runner's heart

rate data.

3.3 – Belt is rubbing.

3.4 – Poor conduction in dry and cold weather.

4.1 – Algorithm is initialising.

5.1 – Buttons do not activate the right functions,

or device appears to malfunction.

6.1 – Target zone alarm is incorrectly set.

If you do not find a solution to your problem in this troubleshooting table,
please contact DECATHLON after-sales service.

Operation / Procedure

Moisten the electrodes using conducting aqueous gel or water.

Check the positioning of the belt around your chest: it should be positioned
as shown in the instruction leaflet.

Bring the HRM watch and the belt closer together, check the above points,
and then check transmission. If there is no transmission, change the belt
battery as shown in the instruction leaflet.

Please visit a DECATHLON workshop to have your HRM battery changed.

You may be in an area with a strong magnet field, a high voltage power line,
radio communication equipment, etc.
If this is the case, move away from this area.

The belt does not have a coded transmitter. You will receive interference
when less than 1 metre from other HRM users.

Check that the belt is tightened and that the electrodes are moistened.
Rubbing of the belt sends a signal different to that of a heart rate.

During cold and dry weather, the product may give incorrect information for a
few minutes. This is normal, as a film of perspiration is necessary for good
contact between the electrodes and your skin.

For around ten seconds, the displayed value may be inconsistent with your
real heart rate. This is because the algorithm is initialising.

Hold down buttons S1, S2, S3 and S4 together for 1 second to RESET the device.
Now set the device as shown in the instruction leaflet.

The target zone alarm is probably active and you are outside of the zone.
See the instruction leaflet for details of how to set or deactivate the target
zone alarm.

Principles of training

For reasons of effectiveness and safety, it is indispensable for you to know certain
physiological parameters required for training. The advice that we provide here is
intended for healthy, active persons who do not present any pathology. We strongly
advise you to obtain the advice of your physician in order to establish your most
precise training zone.

ATTENTION :

Know your limits and do not exceed them !!!

To optimize the benefits of your physical preparation, you must first know your
maximum heart rate

(FCmax)

expressed in beats per minute

(bpm)

La FCmax peut s’estimer en fonction du calcul suivant :

FCmax = 220 - votre âge.

During a shape-up program, several training zones will give specific results
corresponding to different objectives. Depending on the intensity of the exercise,
the percentage of the energy coming from the combustion of sugar and that
coming from the combustion of fats changes.

Ex : A 30-year-old athlete training for aerobic endurance in order to increase
his resistance to effort and improve his time in the 10,000 meter run. The most
effective training zone for his objective will be 80 to 90% of his maximum heart rate.

The lower and upper limits of the target zone are calculated by multiplying your
FCmax by the limit percentages of the selected training zone. This equation also
measures your resting heart rate (FC rest), which you can simply measure with
your heart rate monitor early in the morning when you wake up.

Limit of the target zone = FC rest+ intensity %*
(FC max -FC rest)
FCmax=220-30=190 bpm
FC rest = 60 bpm
The upper limit of the target zone is
FC rest + 90%*(Fcmax-FC rest) = 60 + 90%*(190-60) =177 bpm
The lower limit of the target zone is
FC rest + 80%*(Fcmax-FC rest) = 60 + 80%*(190-60) =164 bpm
