Overview  
Congratulations!  
The Ironman® Triathlon® Digital Heart Rate Monitor is like hiring a  
personal trainer. This high-tech tool is designed for demanding athletes  
like you to measure how you track against your workout goals and offers  
you the ability to track, store, and analyze key indicators of your personal  
fitness level for up to 50 laps.  
You will find your Heart Rate Monitor is a user-friendly fitness tool. But,  
like any new device, you should take the time to familiarize yourself with  
its components to optimize its usefulness.  
So, check out the features and functions of your Heart Rate Monitor to  
develop a basic understanding of this fitness tool. But most of all, enjoy  
your new partner on the road to increased fitness!  
New Features  
The Ironman® Triathlon® Digital Heart Rate Monitor features a 10-workout  
memory that gathers elapsed time and heart rate data when you run its  
chronograph or interval timer. What makes this interval timer unique is  
that each of the linked segments can be set for both heart rate zone and  
duration, so your workout can incorporate time-and-effort training  
guidance - just like having a coach on your wrist.  
In addition to standard heart rate monitor features, your Ironman®  
 
1
Triathlon® Digital Heart Rate Monitor allows you to lock one or more of  
your workouts to reduce accidental deletion.  
WARNING:  
This is not a medical device and is not recommended for use by persons  
with serious heart conditions. Consult your physician before beginning any  
exercise program.  
Interference with the radio signal, poor contact between your skin and the Digital  
Heart Rate Sensor, or other factors may prevent accurate transmission of heart rate  
data.  
The watch also has an optional two-way wireless communication link.  
With two-way communication, you can upload data from the watch to  
PC/Mac or download settings from a PC/Mac to the watch. The link radio  
provides seamless digital wireless communication, reliable connections,  
and data transmissions between the watch and other ANT+Sport devices.  
A Fit Heart  
Recent fitness findings indicate that anyone can get fit and stay fit without  
being overzealous. It can be as simple as:

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.  
Your Heart Rate Monitor can 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.

There are five basic heart rate target zones described in the table above.  
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 zone, 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 Heart Rate  
Monitor packaging (U.S. customers only) provides excellent procedures  
and Timex recommends you use one of these methodologies.  
You might consider using the government recommended age-based method.  
 
6
7
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. Once you know  
your maximum heart rate, you can enter it in HRM Setup Mode and the  
watch will automatically setup your zones as described in the table on the  
previous page.  
To Prepare Your Heart Rate Monitor for First Use  
Once you have determined your fitness goals and maximum heart rate,  
Timex recommends you pair the watch with your Heart Rate Sensor, set  
the time, and set other important data in HRM Setup Mode before using  
your Heart Rate Monitor.  
Note: For best results, Timex recommends that you wash your heart rate  
sensor in warm soapy water to remove any manufacturing oils before  
using for the first time.  
Heart Rate Monitor Setup and Use  
Chrono and Interval Timer Modes collect heart rate data and record  
detailed statistics for a workout. The Heart Rate Monitor can store  
information for up to 10 workouts.  
Pairing the watch and Heart Rate Sensor: Timex recommends that  
you pair the Heart Rate Sensor and watch to minimize the possibility of  
picking up a signal from another person’s Heart Rate Sensor. To  
accurately pair the watch with the Heart Rate Sensor, go immediately  
to HRM Setup Mode prior to stopping at or using any other mode. For  
more information on pairing, see pages 41 to 42.  
NOTE: The watch will collect heart rate data without the Chrono or Interval  
Timer running. This information will not be available in Review Mode, but  
®
can be transferred from the watch to a PC/Mac (Timex Data Xchanger  
USB device is required). If you have an optional USB device, you can  
upload workout data to a PC/Mac for storage and viewing. When the watch  
can store less than five hours, or only three more sessions, of heart rate  
data, the watch will display the MEMORY LOW message. When the watch  
has reached its storage capacity limits, the display will read MEMORY  
FULL.  
Setting the Time of Day: The Heart Rate Monitor uses the time set on  
the watch to record data. To ensure you are recording data at the  
correct time, set the watch for your local time in Time of Day Mode.  
For more information on Time of Day Mode refer to pages 12 to 17.  
Entering Your Personal Data: Before using your watch it is important  
to enter your weight and maximum heart rate in HRM Setup Mode.  
This will allow you to tailor your Heart Rate Monitor to your personal  
parameters. For information on HRM Setup Mode, refer to pages 45  
to 47.  
When the watch is not used with a PC/Mac these messages will be  
skipped. Unless you lock a workout, you will automatically over-write an  
older workout when you have reached your 10-workout limit.

chosen target heart rate zone press and hold HEART RATE to turn the  
audible alert off. Otherwise it will continue beeping until you return to  
your target zone. When you are turning the audible alert off, you will  
see the message HOLD FOR ALERT OFF. Conversely, when turning the  
audible alert on, you will see the message HOLD FOR ALERT ON.  
To Use Your Heart Rate Monitor  
1. Wet thoroughly the Heart Rate sensor pads under  
running tap water (2-3 seconds per pad). If necessary,  
use a heart rate monitor electrode gel for better  
contact.  
2. Center the Sensor on your chest with the Timex® logo  
facing up and out and fasten it firmly, just below your  
sternum.  
7. When you have finished your workout, press the STOP/RESET/SET  
button to stop recording data for the workout if you are using Chrono  
or Interval Timer Modes.  
8. Remove the Heart Rate Sensor from your chest and the watch will stop  
recording further heart rate data in approximately one minute.  
3. Press the MODE button until your desired mode appears. You can view  
heart rate information in Time of Day, Chrono, Interval Timer, or Timer  
Modes.  
9. Press MODE until you see Review Mode. This Mode includes heart rate  
and other statistical data about your workout. See pages 37 to 40 for  
more information about Review Mode.  
4. Press the HEART RATE button on your watch. The antenna icon will  
appear on the display indicating the watch is searching for a signal  
from the Heart Rate Sensor. When the watch begins receiving a signal,  
a pulsing heart icon will appear on the display. In certain modes, the  
watch will automatically search for a Heart Rate Sensor when you  
enter the mode.  
NO HRM DATA Message  
If the watch is not receiving heart rate information, you may receive the  
message NO HRM DATA on the watch display. Try the following:  
Shorten the distance between the watch and the Heart Rate Sensor.  
Adjust the position of the Heart Rate Sensor and elastic chest strap.  
Make sure the Heart Rate Sensor pads are wet or use conductive gel.  
Check the battery in the Heart Rate Sensor and replace it if necessary.  
NOTE: The watch automatically records your heart rate and other  
statistical data about your workout (available in Review Mode) when  
you use Chrono and Interval Timer Modes.  
5. Press the START/SPLIT button and begin your workout.

Time of Day Example  
Assume that you live in San Francisco and work with a client in New York. Like all  
busy people, it is imperative you keep track of time, so you set T1 to your local time.  
But it is also important to have a quick reminder of your client’s time, so you set T2  
to New York time. With both time zones available, you can quickly check your client’s  
time or even switch your watch to display T2 when you travel to New York.

Interval  
Interval Timer Mode offers a flexible five-interval countdown timer that can  
be set to repeat up to 99 times. This mode is useful when your workout  
includes distinct segments such as using a run/walk method in which you  
run for a specified period of time and then walk for a specified period of  
time.

Interval Terminology  
Interval Training: You can use interval training to help you vary the  
intensity level within one workout, ultimately helping you work out  
longer and harder.  
Interval: Intervals relate your exercise to specific periods of time. For  
instance, you can run for ten minutes, walk for two, run for twenty  
 
22  
23  
minutes, and then walk for five – this would represent four training  
intervals.  
7. Press STOP/RESET/SET (DONE) to save your changes and exit the  
setting process.  
You can make the interval adjustments described in the table below.  
Repetitions (Reps): The number of times you choose to perform an  
interval group. In the example above, if you choose to run the interval  
group three times, you will go through your series of ten, two, twenty,  
and five minute timings three times in sequence. This would represent  
3 reps.

Heart Rate Data When Using Interval Mode  
When you operate the watch in Interval Mode with the Heart Rate Sensor,  
you will accumulate heart-related data in Review Mode, including:  
1. Heart Rate over Interval Time (per interval);  
2. Interval Time (per interval) over Heart Rate;  
3. Heart Rate only; or  
1. Amount of time your heart rate stays within your target heart rate zone  
(shown as IN ZONE in Review Mode);  
4. Interval Time over Interval Number/Repetition Number.  
If an interval is set to 00:00:00, the watch will automatically skip over  
2. The average heart rate for the complete time the Heart Rate Sensor  
was operating and the interval timer was running (shown as AVERAGE  
in Review Mode);

that interval. For example if INT 3 is set to 00:00:00 then the watch  
will move from INT 2 directly to INT 4.  
Interval Mode Example  
For cross training purposes, you decide to add a one-hour spin session to your  
workout routine. You decide to use Interval Mode to help you track both time and  
heart rate for your workout. You set the following intervals for your workout:  
When you set target heart rate zones in Interval Mode, they override  
those set in HRM Setup Mode. For example, if you have set the watch  
to ZONE 2 in HRM Setup Mode but set INT 3 to ZONE 3, the watch will  
record heart rate data for ZONE 3 and not ZONE 2 while in Interval  
Mode. This is particularly important if you set the watch to alert you if  
you go above or below your target heart rate zone.  
Interval Time Heart Rate Zone

The repeat setting applies to the entire group of settings; you cannot  
have the Interval Timer repeat twice for INT 1 and only once for INT 2.  
You use INT 1 as a warmup. INT 2 and INT 3 represent the core of your workout  
at an increasing heart rate goal, striving for 5 minutes of high intensity aerobic  
workout. Finally, INT 4 is a cool down between repetitions and at the end of the  
workout. In addition, you set the repetitions to 2, which allows you to repeat this  
workout sequence twice for a strong one-hour interval workout routine.

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.  
To Manually Determine a Recovery Heart Rate  
You can also manually initiate a recovery heart rate at any time.  
NOTE: When you initiate a manual recovery, this information is not stored  
for viewing in Review Mode.  
Your recovery rate represents the change in your heart rate over a period of  
time. You can set your Heart Rate Monitor to record the change in your heart  
rate for a 30-second or a 1-, 2-, 5-, or 10-minute period.  
A smaller recovery might indicate a need to take a break from training due to  
fatigue, illness, or other factors.
