In alarm mode the screen shows the heart rate, the alarm time and the

corresponding alarm number e.g. almo1

(Alarm1).

If the alarm is activated the display changes between the alarm number and the day

on which it is activated or

ALL, if the alarm has been activated for all weekdays. A

bell symbol is shown in the top right corner.

If an alarm is activated the alarm display changes to OFF.

Determining heart rate range		15

Now you can calculate the upper and lower pulse limits for your form of training. To do this multiply your maximum heart rate with the factor that matches your desired type of training:

Maintaining health:

Lower limit: MHR x 0.50; Upper limit: MHR x 0.65.

Endurance training:

Lower limit: MHR x 0.65; Upper limit: MHR x 0.80.

Maximum intensity:

Lower limit: MHR x 0.80; Upper limit: MHR x 0.95.

Determining heart rate range		16

Example:

A 35-year old woman who wants to do endurance training sets her lower training limit to 127 (230 - 35 = 195 * 0.65 = 126.75) and the upper training limit to 156 (230 - 35 = 195 * 0.6 = 156).

Discuss your personal training type and your personal heart rate range with a doctor or a qualified trainer!
