heart Zones® Tools for Success (U.S. customers only):
Information to use your Digital Heart Rate Monitor in conjunction
with the Heart Zones® Training System fitness program, meant to
help you to increase the strength and endurance of your heart.
Recent fitness findings indicate that anyone can get fit and stay fit
without being overzealous. It can be as simple as:
• Exercising 3 to 4 times per week.
• Exercising for 30 to 45 minutes during each exercise session.
• Exercising at the appropriate heart rate.
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. 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.

This is not a medical device and is not recommended for use
by persons with serious heart conditions. Consult your physi-

Determining your optimal heart rate Zone
There are five basic heart rate target zones. Simply select a zone
that matches your percent of maximum (%) heart rate based on the
fitness goal you want to achieve during a particular exercise. Before
you can set your %, 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 you might
consider using the government recommended age-based method.
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 following table.

Once you have determined your fitness goal and maximum heart
rate, Timex recommends you input this information into the HRM

Monitor to your personal parameters.
To Use your Digital heart rate Monitor
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.

tracker indicates whether your target lap times are achieved. Rise
above or fall below your predetermined target times, and varying
chimes and messages will provide feedback. Slow beeps indicate
you’re behind pace (SLOW), a single beep lets you know you’re
on pace (ON-PACE) and rapid beeps tell you are ahead (FAST). The
screen will also display your performance data.

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 workout,
indicating a higher level of cardiovascular fitness.
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 any of five preset periods. To set the recovery
timer duration:
1. Press MODE until RECVRY appears.
2. Press STOP/RESET/SET to clear the last thorough heart rate
recovery reading, if necessary.
3. Press STOP/RESET/SET to toggle a 30-second, one-, two-, five-, or
ten-minute recovery time, or to turn the timer OFF.
While running the chronograph, the recovery heart rate timer will
begin automatically after pressing STOP/RESET/SET if the watch is
receiving data from the Digital Heart Rate Sensor, and the recovery
timer is set for a time duration.
6. Press STOP/RESET/SET (DONE) to finish the setting process.
Using the Timer
1. Tap the watch lens, or press START/SPLIT to start Timer.
2. A timer melody chime will sound when the Timer reaches zero
and stops and repeats. The melody can be turned off with the
press of any button.
3. If you need to stop or pause the timer, tap the watch lens or
press STOP/RESET/SET.
4. When finished, press and hold STOP/RESET/SET to reset the
Timer to the original time. If you Press and hold STOP/RESET/SET
a second time you will clear the timer to 0.
Note: If the Repeat timer is set under 15 seconds a single beep will
ring between repetitions.
Tips:
•
H appears in Time display when Timer is running. j appears
when timer is running and set to repeat at end.
• For repeat Timer operation, repetition number appears on

• lap or Split recall: The amount of time and average heart rate
for the last 200 laps (segments) of your workout.
5. After the countdown, the watch will beep indicating the end of
the recovery period. The watch will capture your heart rate a
second time, subtract the second value from the first value and
display the difference as the recovery (R value).
NoTE: The watch cannot start or record a recovery unless it is
receiving a current heart rate and a valid pulse from the Digital
Heart Rate Sensor. Without a current heart rate or if the ending rate
is higher than the starting heart rate, the display will read NO REC.
