Pause
Workout can be paused by pressing . A flashing “P” will be displayed in upper left corner
of panel indicating workout is paused. Workout will resume when
is pressed again.
Heart Rate Monitoring
Heart rate calculation
Before beginning any test, calculate your maximum heart rate. The maximum number of
heartbeats that a person must not exceed is referred to as the maximum heart rate and this value
drops with age. A simple formula to calculate this is to subtract your age, in years, from the
number 220. To ensure that you are exercising correctly, try to keep between 65% and 85% of
your maximum heart rate value.
For example, the maximum heart rate that a 30 year old user must not exceed is:
220 – 30 = 190 heart beats per minute (BPM).
190 x 0.65 = 123 heart beats per minute.
190 x 0.85 = 161 heart beats per minute. Do not exceed 85%.
So the heart rate exercise range for a 30 year old is between 123 and 161 BPM.
Stop exercising if your pulse is 85% of your maximum heart rate.
