you complete your workout, the Power Meter will display (Figure C) your TIME, DISTANCE, AVERAGE

PACE* and STROKES / MINUTE for the most recent interval.

display pace /100M while Kayak view will display pace /500M

To review the information for each split, press the “REVIEW” button. To review

next split, press the UP and DOWN arrows. The split information shown is (Figure

D):

Top: TIME of the interval

Second: distance of the interval

Third: average pace / 100m (or /500M) for the interval

Bottom Left: INTERVAL number

Note: After 5 minutes of inactivity, the monitor will auto shut off and clear your workout data.
