Setting the desired heart rate
Before using your heart rate watch, contact your physician or trainer if you are
at all unsure about the amount of physical activity you can engage in.
A rough value for your heart rate can be calculated by subtracting your age from
220 (men) or 226 (women).
Example:
If you are a 40 yr old male, your max
allowed pulse rate would be 220 – 40=180.
Selecting the desired training level
There are 3 different pre-installed training levels to choose from.
•
Level 1
(55–70 % of max heart rate)
•
Level 2
(70–80 % of max heart rate)
•
Level 3
(80–100 % of max heart rate)
Carefully choose the most appropriate level that best fits you.
Setting your personal heart rate zone:
1. Press [ MODE ] repeatedly until “HRM” appears on the display.
2. Hold in the [ LIGHT ] button for a few seconds until “Hold” and “Adjust”
begin to flash. After a few seconds “AGE” will appear. Enter your age
using the [ ST/STP ] (increase value) and [ RESET ] (decrease value)
buttons. Confirm with [ MODE ].
3. Continue using the same procedure for the entering the remaining settings:
