Sports mode
Training function (countdown function and interval function)
This unit has a countdown function that counts down the predetermined time and
indicates when the time is up by setting the target trip distance and elapsed time, and
an interval function that is used to set the interval time for a given training. The train-
ing function includes both these 2 functions.
Either the countdown function or interval function is displayed in the lower display. For display *
of the training function, see “Display data in Sports mode (lower display)” on page 29.
Select the training function and enter the respective setting values in “Setting the
*
training function” (page 36) in Option mode. Display Option mode in the MENU screen
or shortcut (press and hold MODE2) to the training function setting screen.
Countdown distance
Displays the countdown distance to a predetermined target trip dis-
tance. When it reaches the target trip distance, the unit switches the
lower display to the countdown data in any Sports mode display, and
notifies by flashing the numerical value/icon and an alarm sound.
Resetting returns the numerical value to the predetermined *
value you set.
