PRINCIPLE OF THE HEART RATE ZONE
It is important that you know your maximum heart rate, training zone, upper heart rate limit and lower heart rate limit before you begin. They help you achieve the maximum health benefits out of your workout. We recommend consulting a medical practitioner or registered physician before setting your personal training-schedule and target. Or you can set your own upper and lower limit
using the following as a reference guide: Calculation of Maximum Heart Rate: Male = 220 – Age, Female = 226 – Age
Getting Started
Follow steps 1. through 3. to get ready and start your run.
Data Display/Zone Range
The exercise time is displayed under the heart rate by default. Press the START/STOP key to view other information.
User Settings
Your heart rate is measured in beats per minute (bpm) and setting a heart rate zone allows you to work with an upper and lower heart rate limit. Follow steps 1. through 6. to adjust the User Settings.
Heart Rate Intensity Chart
This is an alternative to check your heart rate zones based on gender, age and weight. Starting with your Max Heart Rate (MHR), use the chart to calculate your zones depending on the intensity of your workout. Please note that this chart may not be suitable for everyone.
