Caution
Before you begin your exercise
programme, get an assessment
of your overall fitness level.
You are advised to get
clearance from your doctor that
it is safe for you to exercise.
Important Tips
1- You must make a long press
of MODE in any main screen
before you can get a heart rate
reading.
2- If you get into a set up
screen by mistake, a press and
release of MODE takes you
back to a main screen.
Successive presses of MODE
will scroll you through all main
screens.
3- For proper heart rate
readings, it is essential that
there is sufficient moisture
(water) between the electrodes
on the transmitter and your
skin. Insufficient moisture can
cause no reading, frozen
readings or erratic readings.
4- When using a wireless heart
rate monitor near computers,
electric motors, high voltage
power lines, televisions, other
heart rate monitors and mobile
phones, erratic readings may
occur.
5- You can wear the Fusion
monitor when swimming, but
do not push any of the buttons
while the receiver (watch) is
underwater.
Putting on the transmitter
· Attach one end of the
adjustable elastic strap to the
transmitter.
· Moisten the rubber electrodes
of the belt with either water
or saliva as shown.
· Position the transmitter on
the chest just below the
breastbone, with the
Cardiosport logo the right
way up.
· Pass the elastic strap around
your chest and attach to the
other end of the transmitter.
· Adjust the strap to give a
close but comfortable fit.

About your Cardiosport
System 122 Digital heart
rate monitor
The Cardiosport digital
telemetry technology utilises a
safe 122kHz low frequency
system designed to deliver
reliable coded heart rate
information, so all you have to
concentrate on is getting the
most from your exercise.
Each time you put on your
chest transmitter and then
press the MODE key until the
Heart symbol appears, a code
is randomly selected and
transmitted to the watch
receiver, thereafter the watch
will lock on to this code plus
the transmission interval to
create an interlock. The code
combined with the precise
transmission interval results in
the unique interlocking pairing
between the chest transmitter
and watch.
The interlock code can be
displayed by pressing and
holding down the scan/rev key
until the word CODE and a
number appears on the screen.
During the interlock process
you should be at least 6 feet
(1.8 metres) away from other
Cardiosport System 122 heart
rate monitors. If the interlock
is lost for any reason, the
watch will beep once to alert
you and the heart rate display
will go to Zero, in this case you
should repeat the interlock
process.
Once the interlock is
established, you can exercise in
close proximity with other
heart rate monitors safe in the
knowledge that your monitor
will display only your own heart
rate only, not the heart rate of
those around you.

(HRR)
Fusion 30 automatically
measures HRR. HRR refers to
the time it takes for your heart
rate to drop from the preset
high to the preset low recovery
limit after you have finished
your workout. In general, as
your recovery time decreases,
your fitness level is improving.
However, it is recommended
that you experiment with
values that will make the
recovery time a useful number
for your application. It is only a
comparative value with your
earlier efforts, and not a
meaningful number it itself.
8
Press SELECT to move to HRR
high.
Press and release ST./FWD to
increase or SCAN to decrease,
to set the required number.
Note: it is suggested that this
be set 5 bpm below the heart
zone high limit.

low.
Press and release ST./FWD to
increase or SCAN to decrease,
to set the required number.
Note: as a guideline, note what
your heart rate drops to at the
end of your workout after 2
minutes (using the stopwatch),
and use this value as your HRR
low setting.
Setting the calorie counter
The calorie counter shows the
number of calories burnt during
exercise, using heart rate
intensity. You need to enter
· your Ambient Heart Rate
(AHR) value - this is your
typical heart rate at rest
before starting exercise
· your weight

through the maximum, average
and minimum heart rates (3
seconds for each) since heart
rate was switched on.
A press and release of SCAN
during the scan takes you back
to the main screen you were in.
Previous session scan
In any main screen, a press
and release of SCAN starts a
single scan through maximum,
average and minimum heart
rate for the previous session.
This is stored in memory, and
cleared automatically when
heart rate is next switched on.
The following functions are
featured in Fusion 30.
Using Time in Zone (TiZ)
Press MODE until the TiZ icon
appears.
Time in Zone is a heart rate
controlled feature that displays
the amount of time you have
spent in your heart zone.
Typically, exercise programmes
comprise a warm-up, workout
for a specified time (in a zone)
and cool down. The TiZ feature
can be used to show the time
in your zone as you actually
workout.
If you go above or below your
zone, the timer will stop until
you are back in your zone.
Using the Calorie Counter
Press MODE until the Cal icon
appears.
The calorie counter starts
automatically once heart rate is
turned on.
To reset calories to zero, press
and hold ST./FWD until the
display shows zero.
Note: if you just want the
calories for your actual
workout, reset just as you
begin the session.
Calorie Counter Ambient
Heart Rate (AHR) Quick set
Fusion 30 has a quick set
feature, allowing you to set
your AHR quickly just before
you begin your workout.
12
Calories will be counted from 5
bpm above this value.
You need to be wearing the
transmitter and monitor, and
have heart rate switched on.
Move to the Cal main screen.
Press and hold SCAN to set the
current displayed heart rate as
your AHR.
Note: if your heart rate is
above 120bpm, the monitor
will default to the setting
already stored.
Training with your Impulse
HRM
Exercising at the right heart
rate intensity, is key to
meeting your fitness and
performance goals. The first
step is to find out your
maximum heart rate (MHR).
Using a formula based on age
or taking a sport-specific
exercise assessment does this.
The formulas:
- Sedentary individuals use
220 minus your age to
calculate your approximate
maximum.
- If you exercise/train
aerobically 3 or more times a
week, use 205 minus half
your age.
Example for a person aged 30
220-30=190 beats per minute
(bpm)
Intensity of Exercise
If you are a beginner with the
goal of improving overall
fitness, losing weight or
reducing stress, exercise in the
healthy heart zone, which is
50-59 percent of your
maximum heart rate.
If you already exercise
regularly and are aiming to
lose body fat, exercise in the
fat burning zone, which is 60-
69 percent of your maximum
heart rate.
If your goal is to improve
aerobic capacity or athletic
performance, exercise in the
aerobic zone, which is 70-79
percent of your maximum
heart rate.
Competitive athletes usually
incorporate interval training
sessions into their programme
in the anaerobic threshold
zone, which is usually between
80-89 percent of maximum
heart rate. This high intensity
13
exercise helps train muscles to
handle lactic acid. It is
advisable to structure these
sessions.
However, train sensibly at the
upper limits. Exercising
regularly at a heart rate
intensity that is too high does
not produce additional aerobic
benefits and increases the
possibility of an athletic injury.
Example: Taking a 30 year old
just starting on an exercise
programme with the aim of
getting fitter would start
exercising at a gentle intensity
of 50-59% of MHR (50% of
190=95 bpm, 59% of
190=112bpm). If they wanted
to lose weight, then a slightly
higher intensity of 60-69%
MHR (114 to 131 bpm) would
be required. If the same 30
year old is already fit and
wants to improve aerobic
capacity or athletic
performance, a higher intensity
of 70-79% MHR (133 to 150
bpm) is required. If interval
training sessions is
incorporated into the training
programme, this should be
done in the anaerobic threshold
zone, which lies between 80-
89% MHR (152 to 169 bpm).
The F.I.T.T Method
(Frequency, Intensity, Time
and Type of exercise)
Frequency of Exercise
Exercise in the zone that you
have set at least 3-5 times per
week, with no more than 48
hours between sessions. Even
on 'rest days' gentle exercise
such as a leisurely walk can be
beneficial.
Intensity of Exercise
Select a zone that is both
within your capability and in
which you can achieve
consistency. Studies show that
people who exercise at too high
an intensity, especially in the
initial stages of their
programme, drop out sooner,
have more injuries and tend to
develop a negative impression
towards exercise in general. If
necessary, start in lower zone.
Time exercising
Aim for 20-60 minutes of
continuous exercise in your
14
zone each session. If you are
unable to do 20 minutes
initially, gradually build up to
this.
Type of exercise
Choose activities that use large
muscle groups and which are
continuous. Some good
examples are walking,
swimming, running, aerobic
dance, stepper and ski
machines, treadmills, cycling
and exercise bikes. Feel free to
include more than one activity
- perhaps cycle one day, swim
the next and do an aerobics
class on the third.
Looking after your Fusion
Thoroughly wipe and dry your
monitor and transmitter after
use.
Store in a cool dry place.
Do not expose to direct
sunlight or temperatures above
122 degrees Fahrenheit (50°C)
or below 14 degrees Fahrenheit
(-10°C).
The elastic chest strap can be
washed on a 30°C cycle.
Troubleshooting
What if the heart rate
reading is erratic or totally
absent?
1- Make sure the chest
transmitter is sufficiently
tight. The transmitter should
be positioned and the elastic
strap tightened so that the
electrodes are flat against
your skin.
Adjust the transmitter side
to side or slightly up or
down until it is positioned
correctly, and the electrodes
make good contact with
your skin.
2- Make sure the transmitter
electrodes are sufficiently
moist. Moisten the
electrodes with water, saliva
or electrode gel.
Accumulated sweat or dirt
on the electrodes may
impair electrical contact, so
make sure they are kept
clean.
3- Make sure you have
switched heart rate on, with
a long press and hold of
MODE in any main screen.
15
What if the heart rate
reading becomes extremely
high?
Electromagnetic signals from
outside sources may cause
abnormally high heart rate
readings. Common sources of
electromagnetic signals are
high voltage power lines,
electric motors and mobile
phones. Your heart rate should
return to normal once you
move away from the source.
