Activating & Deactivating Transmitter
Heart Rate Transmitter Straps come in a variety of styles
and manufacturers. To properly activate, secure strap
to the chest and to deactivate follow the instructions
that come with the Transmitter Strap.
Calculating Target Heart Rate Zone
Your approximate Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
is equal to 220 minus your age. The upper limit of
your target zone is equal to 0.85 times your MHR. The
lower limit of your target zone is equal to 0.60 times
your MHR.
For Example:
Your age is 40:
220 - 40 = 180
180 x .85 = 153 (max MHR)
180 x .65 = 108 (min MHR)
These values are based upon averages, always consult
your physician to establish the proper Heart Rate Zone
for your individual health condition.
Heart Rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate.
If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately. Over
exercising
may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Always follow manufacturers instructions for proper
care
and use. Failure to follow manufacturers
instructions
may result in injury to yourself.
