1. With the transmitter belt on, connect the Exercise Heart Rate Sensor to a USB

Link or

Xplorer

. (For belt placement instructions, see card 2A.)

2. Use Table 1 below to estimate your target exercise training range.
3. Place the Exercise Hear t Rate Sensor in your hand or on a table. (For sensor

placement options, see card 2A.)

4. Sit in a chair. In DataStudio or

Xplorer

, click the

Start

button and record your

resting heart rate for 30 seconds.

5. Stand up. In the display, watch your hear t rate change.
6. Run in place for 3 to 5 minutes. Continue to collect data and tr y to stay within

your estimated heart rate range.

7. Stop running. In the display, watch your heart rate recover for 5 - 10 minutes.

Click the

Stop

button.

8. From the Graph display, record and compare your resting hear t rate, maximum
