For most people, as your heart rate exceeds 85% (the upper limit), your body begins to become anaerobic and produce acids. This also burns less fat which can begin to burn and strain muscles, and even start storing fat. As for the Lower limit, this number tells you when you have reached a level of intensity that is productive. A heart rate monitor will tune you into your body’s internal activity level and help prevent injury or worse.

EXERCISE TARGET ZONE CHART Heart Rate - Beats per Minute 200 180 Ana erob 160 ic Z one % of Max. Heart rate 140 Aero bic Z 85% to Max one 120 65% to 85% Fat B urnin 100 g Zon e 55% to 65% Warm-up Cool Down 55% to 65% 80 Age: 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65+ STRETCHING Begin and end every workout with stretching. Stretching done before your workout increases flexibility to help prevent muscle strain or injury, and stretching after loosens tight muscles and helps prevent soreness.

Exercising in this range helps improve your fitness level and prevent injury caused from over training. • Duration: 20-30 min. per workout. • Frequency: At least 3 or 4 times per week.

EXERCISING WITH YOUR HR409 HEART RATE From Time of Day Mode click MODE button once to go to Heart Rate Mode and begin your exercise. If your transmitter is correctly attached, the running man indicator on the monitor display should begin to blink and your current heart rate in beats per minute will come up on the display. If no heart rate is detected for 5 min. the heart rate circuit will switch itself off. The indicator tells if the heart rate circuit is on.
Blank screen or missing digits? This can be an indication of mechanical shock damage, a dead battery or possibly moisture damage. If this occurs, you could first try a Global Reset (see below) otherwise send it in for service. Repairs should only be done by a Vetta Dealer or a Vetta service center.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS • Although your Heart Rate Monitor is water resistant, be sure not to operate its buttons under water as pressure can cause them to leak. • The transmitter will automatically shut itself off once you have disconnected it from your chest. However, it is important to thoroughly dry it off after every use, since moisture on the electrodes can cause it to remain on longer.
