Preparing to use your Watch
Determining your heart rate
In addition to many other useful features, your Watch uses
technology that helps you track detailed information about your
heart rate. But, before you can track this information, 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
Watch packaging provides excellent procedures and Timex
recommends you use one of these methodologies. However, if you
cannot use any of the procedures described in Heart Zones® Tools
for Success, you might consider using the widely used, though
highly debated, 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 (the person's age) which gives an
estimated maximum heart rate of 185.

Setting your Watch for first use
Once you determine your heart rate, set the following parameters
prior to using your Watch:
1. Set the time of day. For detailed information on Time of Day Mode,
including instructions for setting time of day, refer to page 19 of this
manual.
2. Enter your maximum heart rate. In Configure Mode, select
HRM SETTINGS and then MAX HR. Your maximum heart rate
setting determines your five preset heart rate target zones. For more
information on Configure Mode, refer to page 40.
3. Select your desired heart rate display units. In Configure Mode,
select HRM SETTINGS and then HRM DISPLAY. Your Watch gives
you the option to view your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) or
as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (PERCENT). For more
information on Configure Mode, refer to page 40.
4. Determine your target heart rate zone and alert. In Configure
Mode, select HRM SETTINGS and then TZ ALERT. Use the target
zone alert to keep your heart rate within a defined range to maximize
your performance and prevent either over exertion or under
utilization of your heart during exercise.For more information on
Configure Mode, refer to page 40.
