6.2 Main information display
In this mode the main data item is instant energy expenditure, given in kilocalories per hour.
Instant energy expenditure values are calculated using heart rate and other parameters according to certain
rules. Both modes – CALORIES and CARDIO – therefore function in very similar ways.
IMPORTANT:
•To get instant energy expenditure information, you must be wearing your strap. (Don’t forget to moisten it
rst.) If it is correctly tted it will automatically emit a heart rate signal.
For information on good and bad signal detection, see paragraph 3/.
•So that the information displayed is reliable, it particularly important that you check before using CALORIES
mode that you have set the right values about you (height, weight, target zone) in SETTINGS mode
(see corresponding chapter). If not, the values given by the watch may be incorrect.
Many people think of “calories” and “kilocalories” as being the same thing. In fact, there is a factor of 1,000 between
the two.
For example: people often say that “100g of chocolate contains 550 calories” when in reality 100g of
chocolate equals 550 kilocalories. We therefore give energy values in kilocalories, so that they can be
understood easily and above all so that they can be directly compared with the units used by the food
industry.
6.3 Secondary information display
It is possible to change the secondary information on the second line by pressing VIEW.
This is the standard display when entering cardio mode.
Press START/STOP to start the stopwatch.
Then press START/STOP again to stop it.
Hold down VIEW for 3 seconds to reset it.
NB:
1. The stopwatch can only be started or stopped when it is displayed on the screen.
2. When the user changes mode while the stopwatch is running, a symbol is displayed in all other modes.
3. The stopwatch can measure a duration from 0 to 23h 59min 59s.
4. When the user starts the stopwatch in his or her new workout, the data stored in DATA mode from the last
workout is deleted (see DATA mode).
6.3.1 Instant heart rate
The following display concerns current heart rate.
Heart rate is displayed in beats per minute (bpm).
6.3.2 Total calories burned
The following display concerns the energy which you have consumed since the start of your workout (the time
when you started the stopwatch). This value is given in Kcal. This gure takes into account all body energy
expended, particularly your basal metabolic rate.
6.3.3 Grams of fat consumed
The following display concerns the fat which you have actually lost during your workout in grams (g)
During long periods of exercise, the body mainly provides energy to the muscles from two sources:
- Sugars (rapidly usable energy for relatively short, intense workouts; stores amount to a few dozen minutes at
most).
- Fats (more dicult to use but generally stored in almost unlimited quantities). The body will use fats for basic
tasks (temperature regulation or very long low-level workouts).
The watch knows these physiological rules and, depending on the intensity and duration of your workout, will
tell you the number of grams of fat that providing this type of energy has consumed.
