Safety
What is Heart Rate Training?
Heart Rate Training is a type of training that uses the heart rate. You can see
how hard you are exercising by looking at your heart rate during exercise. It is
possible to achieve effective yet safe training results by managing and
controlling the intensity of training based on your heart rate.
Effective, Safe Training
The improvements in achieved results differs according to the difference in the
set heart rate. By exercising in order to achieve a target zone, you can achieve
the maximum results using the minimum amount of effort.
Additionally, managing heart rate during exercise helps prevent you from
over-exercising.
Target Heart Rate (Karvonen Formula)
•Target heart rate (beats per minute) = Exercise intensity x (maximum heart
rate – resting heart rate) + resting heart rate
•Maximum heart rate = estimated as 220 – age
* When the heart rate increases due to increased exercise intensity, maximum heart
rate is the fastest level at which the heart beats when exercising at full pace. It can
be calculated using the formula above. (However, it is normally measured by
means of an exercise tolerance test.)
* Exercise intensity converted to 0 to 100%
Zoning based on Exercise Intensity (Exercise Intensity Based on the Karvonen
Formula)
Zone 1: Aerobic exercise zone (approx. 50 – 65%)
Effective for increasing fat metabolism and controlling blood pressure.
Zone 2: Aerobic + anaerobic exercise zone (approx. 65 – 80%)
Effective for strengthening cardiac function, overall physical stamina.
Zone 3: Anaerobic zone (approx. 80 – 95%)
Effective for improving exercise intensity limits and competitive ability.
* From the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines
There are many variations of heart rate training
There are variations in how exercise intensity zones and target heart rates are
calculated between coaches. It is essential to remember that no matter which
one you choose, it is important to exercise within your limitations without
over-exercising.
Safe Use
Anyone who has health concerns or problems should consult their doctor or
medical institution to receive advice on their condition before starting to
exercise.
When exercising using heart rate training, it is important to do so within your
own limitations in order to prevent injury and improve physical health.

supervision of Shizuo Sakamoto (professor at the Faculty of Sport Sciences, Waseda
University, as of January 2015). The heart rate training in the basic training menu of the
“Smart B-Trainer” application was also created under the supervision of Professor
Sakamoto.

Listening for a Lifetime
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the
start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize
the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer, the Consumer
Electronics Association (CEA)® and the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association (ASHA) want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it
at a safe level; a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying
blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without damaging your sensitive
hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to
your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE
your hearing adapts.
TO ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
•Set your volume control to the lowest level where you can hear the music
comfortably and clearly. Prolonged exposure to anything over 85 decibels can
cause gradual hearing loss.
•Once you have established a sound level where you can hear the audio
comfortably, clearly and without distortion, set the dial and leave it there.
•See if your music player has a volume limiter that allows you to set a safe
listening level by establishing a maximum volume level on your player. This is a
great solution for parents to ensure their children listen at a safe level.
•Limit listening time to give your hearing “quiet breaks.”
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WHEN WEARING YOUR HEADPHONES
OR EARBUDS:
•Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear sounds around you.
•Do not use headphones or earbuds while operating a motorized vehicle; it may
create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide years of fun and enjoyment.
Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late,
this manufacturer, CEA and ASHA recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure
to excessive noise. The following list of sound levels is included for your
information so that you can better protect your hearing.
DECIBEL LEVEL EXAMPLES:
30 Whisper
40 Quiet room
50 Moderate rainfall
60 Normal conversation
70 Busy traffic, vacuum cleaner
80 Alarm clock
CONSTANT EXPOSURE TO THESE NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS:
90 Lawn mower, motorcycle
100 Chain saw
110 Rock concert
120 Jet plane takeoff
130 Jackhammer
140 Firecrackers

Notes on use
This is the wearable device designed to support sports training or activities such
as running, jogging and walking. It should not be relied upon for medical
purposes, research, experiments, or operations that require precise professional
measurements.
Notes on using this device
•Do not use the device in places where the inability to hear sounds from your
surroundings would be dangerous.
•When using the device in public or private facilities, follow the rules of that
facility.
•Do not use the device while swimming in a river or in the ocean.
Water resistant performance of this device
The water resistant specifications of this device are equivalent to IEC 60529
“Degrees of protection against ingress of water (IP Code)” IPX5/8.* Note the
following points when using this device in water.
•Choose the size of swimming earbuds that fit firmly and snugly into your ears.**
•Bluetooth and some measurement functions (heart rate, pressure, GPS etc.) do
not work correctly when this device is used in water.
* Under our test conditions, this device maintained its operability even when
submersed in water to a depth of 2.0 m for 30 minutes with the swimming earbuds
attached.
** Sound may become muffled if the earbuds are not fitted firmly in your ears and
water gets into the gap between your ears and the device. Choose the best fitting
earbuds for your left and right ears, and be sure that the device fits firmly into your
ears. If the device is wet, pat the headphones gently against the palm of your hand
approximately 5 to 10 times. If this does not remove the water, remove the earbuds,
place the headphones on a dry cloth and then pat them gently another 5 to10 times.
Heart Rate Measurements and Training
Expression of “Heart Rate” on this device
Pulse measurement is the generally recommended method of determining your
heart rate, which is a rough indicator of intensity of exercise.
This device uses a built-in sensor to measure the pulse from your ear. Results of
those measurements are used to monitor the amount of exercise done or for
“heart rate training”. “Pulse” here expresses “heart rate” to make it easier for users
to understand.
Training
Please consult your medical professional before beginning or changing any
exercise program.
If at any time you experience dizziness or do not feel well while exercising, stop
immediately and consult your medical professional.
This product contains various training menus, and each menu is created
according to the theories and ideas of each trainer. Consider each menu as a
guide, and be sure to exercise in a way that suits your athletic ability.
