• Fitness Model: In TIMING Mode, make sure the watch is set to
count up from zero, like a stopwatch. Press  START/STOPwhen
you begin spinning.
■  Timing Option 2 - Counting Down:   Use the TIMER Mode (30-Lap Model)
or TIMING Mode (Fitness Model) to time your workout by counting down
from 30 minutes. Counting down is used for a planned, or timed, training\
regimen and includes an alert at the end of the countdown.
• 30-Lap Model: Go to TIMER Mode and set the countdown time for 30
minutes.  Press START/SPLIT when you begin your workout.
•  Fitness Model: In TIMING Mode, make sure the watch is set to
count down from 30. Press  START/STOP when you begin your
workout.

features.
NOTE:  Not sure how to configure TIMING Mode? 
See pgs. 27–29 for more information.
■  Connecting the Heart Rate Sensor and Selecting a Target Heart Rate:
You arrive at your club wearing your watch and heart rate sensor.
Before you begin spinning you must establish the wireless link between
your watch and the heart rate sensor.  
• Both Models: Press HEART RATE. The “hollow heart” flag shows
the watch searching for the heart rate sensor signal.  When the
signal is found the heart turns solid and begins an animated
beating.  Heart rate data is displayed according to how you have
configured your watch.  Next, go to HRM SETUP Mode and select
your target heart rate for this workout from zones 1-5. 
■  Timing Option 1 - Counting Up: Use the CHRONO Mode (30-Lap
Model) or TIMING Mode (Fitness Model) to time your workout by
counting up to 30 minutes.  Counting up is handy when you want
flexibility in timing the end of your workout.
• 30-Lap Model: Go to CHRONO Mode and press  START/SPLIT
when you begin spinning.
NOTE:  See pgs. 22–25 for more details about using CHRONO Mode.
NOTE: See pgs. 10–15 for details on setting target heart rate
zones in HRM SETUP Mode; configuring the display for
displaying heart rate and time information; and activating “out
of zone” alerts.

Usage Example 3 - 
Using Your Watch in a Race While Traveling Between
Time Zones 
You are flying with your running club from Chicago to Washington DC for a
10K citizen’s race.  Your strategy is to stay within your target training heart
zone over the first half of the race and to push yourself in the secon\
d half.
Y ou want to finish the race around 32 minutes, which means you will
probably exceed your target training heart zone during the second half o\
f
the race to achieve this time goal. 
In this example, you’ll use the following watch features: : 
■  Setting the Time Ahead:   After you are settled into your airplane seat
you set your watch ahead for the Eastern Time Zone (U.S.).
• 30-Lap Model:  Y ou frequently travel to the East Coast for
business so you already have set your secondary time zone for the
30-Lap Model Fitness Model

• 30-Lap Model:  Press any button to stop the countdown alert in
TIMER Mode.
•  Fitness Model:  Press any button to stop the countdown alert in
TIMING Mode.
■  Measuring Your Fitness:  RECOVER Mode is a tool for measuring how
much your heart rate declines over a fixed one or two-minute period.
Immediately upon completing your workout, go to RECOVER and press
START/SPLIT (30-Lap Model) or START/STOP(Fitness Model) to begin
the recovery period.  When the alert sounds ending the one-minute
recovery time, note your heart rate. 
■  Reviewing Your Lap Times:   During your victory walk to the locker
room you can review the data from your workout in REVIEW Mode.
Y ou’ll see your heart rate statistics, as well as all of your lap time\
s if you
were taking multiple lap times (30-Lap Model only).

Watch Maintenance and Warranty
Maintenance
The Heart Rate Monitor transmitter and its strap should be rinsed in fre\
sh
water to avoid the build-up of materials that can interfere with the
measurement of your heart rate. The Fitness System watch does not need
to be rinsed.
Watch Battery Replacement
To   avoid the possibility of permanently damaging the watch, TIMEX
STRONGLY RECOMMENDS TAKING YOUR WATCH TO A LOCAL RETAILER
OR JEWELER TO HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED.
HRM Transmitter Battery Life and Replacement
Assuming an hour-a-day usage, the battery life of the transmitter should
exceed two years. Greater usage will shorten the battery life. The battery
should be replaced when any of the following occurs:
• The watch no longer receives heart rate information from the chesttransmitter when properly worn on the chest.
•  Error messages begin to appear with increased frequency on the display.
T urn the unit over and use a coin to open the battery compartment cover.
Replace the battery, making sure the “+” is facing you when you insert the
new one. Push the reset button next to the battery (a toothpick or
straightened paper clip will help you do this) before replacing the bat\
tery
cover.
■ 
You Reach the Mid-Point of the Race:  You have been running the race
comfortably in your target heart rate zone and the timer counts down to
zero. 
• 30-Lap Model:  TIMER Mode automatically launches CHRONO
Mode, which was the mode selected in the step above to follow the
TIMER Mode countdown.  The previously configured display
format for CHRONO and HEART RATE information appears.  You
step up your pace in the second half.  As you cross the finish line,
press  STOP/RESET/SET (DONE) to stop CHRONO Mode timing.  
• Fitness Model:  Press any button to disable the Timer alert and step up your pace at the 16-minute point of the race. As you cross
the finish line, press  START/STOPto stop TIMING Mode.
■ Reviewing Your Heart Rate Data and Race Times:   Later you can scroll
through your accumulated fitness data for the race.
• To review your HRM data and race times, go to REVIEW.  Press
START/SPLIT (+) or START/STOP (+) to advance through your HRM
and race data, or press HEART RATE (-) to cycle backwards.  
NOTE: CHRONO Mode must be reset to zero to be automatically
launched by TIMER Mode.
