PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
DANGER
Make sure to always observe the basic precautions listed below to prevent the likelihood of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damage, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not open
•Do not disassemble the device or modify it in any way. This can result in the device bursting, or even an explosion or fire. If the device should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Water related
• Do not drop the device into the water.
Fire related
• Do not throw the device into a fire, or put burning items near the device.
Handling
•Do not use or expose the device to extreme heat (such as direct sunlight, near a heater or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of explosion, fire or bursting. Charge the device and use it in temperature conditions between 0° to 35°C (32° to 95°F) and keep in an environment of between -10° to 45°C (14° to 113°F).
•Do not operate the device or use earphones while driving a car or riding a motorcycle or a bicycle, since this could result in a serious accident.
•To avoid accidents while walking or jogging, keep the volume low enough to hear outside traffic sounds and avoid concentrating too closely on the display.
If you notice any abnormality
•If there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch and have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
When exercising
•If you are not in good physical condition (chronic illness, during pregnancy, or other abnormal conditions), consult your physician before beginning any exercise.
•If exercising causes you any pain or discomfort, immediately get rest and consult a physician if necessary.
•Make sure that any ear jewelry or accessories you wear do not interfere with the pulse sensor for accurate heart rate readings. Wearing earrings may cause inaccurate heart rate detection, which can result in your workout being too strenuous or not strenuous enough.

PRECAUTIONS
Handling
•Keep the device in a place out of the reach of small children.
•Never insert paper, metallic, or other objects into the device. If this happens, turn off the power immediately, and then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
USB AC Power Adaptor (Optional)
•Only use the voltage specified as correct for the adaptor. The required voltage is printed on the adaptor.
•Use the specified adaptor (PA-U010 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the device or overheating.
•Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Do not touch the connector with wet hands. If the device gets wet inside from the connector, it may cause the device to malfunction.
•Take care not to tangle the earphone cable around your body or neighboring objects, since this can cause injuries or accidents.
•Do not use the device or earphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
•Some people may experience an abnormal sensation or discomfort on their skin. If this should occur, stop using the device and consult a physician.

to the device.
•Yamaha cannot be held responsible for any health problems during exercise with the device. Take full responsibility for your own health.

Turning the Power On / Making Initial Settings
The first time you turn on the power of your new BF-11, the device conveniently and automatically guides you through several important settings. These include the display language, correct time and date, as well as personal information such as your birthday, weight, height and resting heart rate. You’ll need to make these settings before you can effectively use the BF-11. Once you’ve entered this data, the BF-11 becomes your own personal exercise device, customized with your unique settings.
n
If the display turns off at any time while you’re making the initial settings, simply press any key to turn it on again.
Operation
1 Press the [
] (Standby/On) button to turn on the power.
If you are turning on the power for the first time (or you have reset the device; see page 76), the Language display will appear. This determines the language for all messages and indications on the BF-11. Five languages are available: English, Japanese, German, Spanish and French.
n
When you are turning on the power for the second time or after, the Top display (page 14) will appear.
2 Use the ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to select the desired language.
3 Simultaneously press both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to enter the selection.
The following displays will appear in succession. Follow the instructions in each of the displays, making the necessary settings and entering the relevant information.

■ Heart Rate
This lets you register your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate. The resting heart rate can be simply measured by placing your fingers on your wrist and counting the pulse during one minute, or by counting the pulse over 15 seconds and multiplying by four. (Make sure you’re relaxed and have not been exercising before taking your pulse.) After taking your pulse, enter the resting heart rate value in this display. This setting can be changed afterward if necessary by measuring pulse with the included pulse sensor (page 71).
If you don’t know your maximum heart rate, it is unnecessary to enter it here; it is automatically calculated from your age by default.
Use the ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to change the setting then simultaneously press both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to enter the change.
The cursor automatically moves to the next parameter. After you finish setting both parameters, go on to the next display.

■ Attaching the armband to your arm
IMPORTANT
Make sure to wear the arm band only when the BF-11 is also inside. The band cannot be adjusted if the armband is empty.
1 Loosen the armband and put your left arm into the armband.
2 Fasten the armband to your upper arm, just above your elbow.
IMPORTANT
• Adjust the armband into position so that you can easily see the display.
• Do not wear the armband anywhere on your body other than your upper arm (for example, your neck, wrist, ankle, etc.). Doing so may cause the motion sensor to not function properly.
• Make sure to wear the BF-11 above your elbow. The sensor in the unit that measures vibration during your exercise will not function properly if the device is worn below the elbow.
•Do not fasten the armband too tight or too loose. If it’s too tight, it may cause discomfort and even harm you; too loose, and the motion sensor may not function properly, or the device may fall off your arm.

Exercising with the BF-11
The BF-11 is a unique music player designed specifically for listening while exercising. It features a variety of sophisticated functions that tailor the music to your exercising. The BF-11 monitors your heart beat and walking/jogging steps, and automatically selects music of exactly the right tempo for your exercise. It also gives you comprehensive, detailed training programs that use the music and tempo to fully guide you through an exercise session—like an expert coach or trainer.
The BF-11 has three basic Exercise modes: Free Workout, Walk/Jog Fitness, and Training.

Walking/Jogging at Your Own Pace—Free Workout Mode
Walking/Jogging at Your Own Pace—Free Workout
Mode
In the Free Workout mode, the BF-11 automatically matches the music to your exercise pace, selecting songs that have almost the same tempo as your jogging or walking speed. When you change pace, the music changes with you. This lets you jog freely and set your own pace—and enjoy music that perfectly fits your pace.
If you want to constrain the length of your exercise session, you can use the Goal Setting parameters to automatically stop music playback once you’ve reached the desired target. You can set the target to be a specific time, a specific distance, or the amount of calories you wish to burn off. (Only one of the targets can be set and be in effect for a session.)
To call up the Free Workout mode:
Select “Free Workout” from the Top Menu.

Walking/Jogging at Your Own Pace—Free Workout Mode
Exercising with Free Workout
The Free Workout mode is an easy, convenient way to exercise using the versatile tempo changing features of the BF-11, since it automatically matches the music to your exercise pace.
n
Keep in mind that it takes a few seconds to detect your pace and call up a song that matches your pace.
h
If you find that songs change frequently or few songs matching your pace are called up, adjust the sensitivity of the step sensor and/or the pace censor (page 67).
Operation
1 From the Free Workout menu, select “Start,” then start jogging or walking.
You can set the goal setting (targets for your exercise) and/or select a specific music playlist for the session. If you want to do so, select “Setting” here and go to page 27 (Goal Setting and Music Selection).
Once you set the goal setting, it will be shown in the “Start” menu the next time you use the device, enabling you to continue with the same exercise settings as before.
n
If the pulse sensor is not attached properly or if your heart rate cannot be detected (that is, when the LED is off), heart rate is not memorized in the exercise log
(page 29). Reattach the pulse sensor properly and make sure that your pulse is being measured.
n
For playback of certain songs (and depending, of course, on the characteristics of those songs), you may find that the song tempo does not match your pace. If this is the case, you can manually correct the tempo information with the BODiBEAT Station software. For details, refer to the BODiBEAT Station Owner’s Manual.
2 While you’re jogging or walking, you can change the volume of the music, select different songs, or lock the pace.
See “Operation During Exercise” on page 42.
3 Press the ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons simultaneously after pressing the [MENU/BACK] button once.
A log showing detailed information on your session automatically appears. (For more about the session log, see “After a Free Workout session” on page 29.)
You can also stop the session by holding both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons together.
If a goal is set in advance, once the set target has been reached, music playback stops automatically and the log display appears.
n
When the Learning Function (page 74) is set to on, a confirmation message will appear before the log display appears and prompts you to update the maximum heart rate and tempo.

Walking/Jogging at Your Own Pace—Free Workout Mode
Goal Setting and Music Selection
The Goal Setting parameters let you set a certain time period for your session, the distance to be covered, or the number of calories to be expended. The BF11 then automatically stops playback once the desired target has been reached.
The Goal Setting values feature several preset settings for convenience. A “Custom” setting is also available for each, allowing you to freely set the desired target.
After the Goal Setting is done, you can select the desired music (all songs or specific Playlists) from the Goal Setting display above when some playlists exist in the BF-11.
Operation
1 From the Free Workout menu, select “Setting.”
2 Select the desired setting: Time, Distance, Calories.
If you want a completely open-ended workout session, select “Unlimited” and skip to step 4.
3 Simultaneously press both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to call up the values for the selected setting, then set the target as desired.
Time
Available settings:
10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90 (minutes), Custom
Distance
Available settings:
2, 5, 10 (miles), Half Marathon, Marathon, Custom
n
When the units of measurement is set to “Meters” in the Measurement parameter (page 69), the available settings are:
3, 5, 10 (kilometers), Half Marathon, Marathon, Custom
Calories
Available settings:
100, 300, 500, 700, 1000 (K calories), Custom
n
The amount of expended calories is calculated according to the following formula: Calories for walking (kcal) = 0.0005 x Speed (meter/min) x Weight (kg) x Time (min) Calories for jogging (kcal) = 0.001 x Speed (meter/min) x Weight (kg) x Time (min) (The basal metabolic rate for the exercise period is not included in this formula.)
To enter a custom setting, first select “Custom” from the Time, Distance or Calories menu. Then change the value with the ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons and enter it by simultaneously pressing both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons.
