6/ Timer Mode
6.1/ Principle of the TIMER mode
The double timer function enables a two value repetitive countdown that provides the option
to programme a training session that includes a workout period and a rest period which are
different from each other.
6.2 Utilisation of the Timer mode
If you want to use the timer, press down the Mode button until TIMERappears on the screen.The
watch will spend a few moments searching for your heart rate (see chapter 5.1); once it has
done this you will be be able to use the double timer using the following steps:
Press down START/STOP to start the first timer (RUN), your watch will emit a noise signal
when this has reached zero and the second timer (REST) will start up straight after.
RUN workout time
REST rest time.
Moreover, these two timers will start up one after the other for as many times as you have
programmed the repetition without taking any additional steps. However the number of
repetitions cannot exceed 25.
The timer is set within the SETTINGS mode (see chapter 8)
E.G.: you programme an exercise with the following values: RUN 3 mins and REST 1 min and
2 repetitions.To stop the Timer at any time during the session, press down the START/STOP
button . Press it a second time to resume the training.
times" within the DATA mode, when your sessions are being displayed.You can take as many
laps as you wish, but only the 50 most recent will be stored.
5.2.3/ Target zone (as a percentage of the maximum heart rate or in beats per
minutes)
A target zone is a heart rate zone in which you wish to exercise.The watch will sound an alarm if
your heart beats faster than the upper limit or slower than the lower limit.This target zone is set
in SETTINGS mode.. See the corresponding section for more information.
The target zone will be expressed in beats per minute but you have the option to express it
as a percentage of the maximum heart rate by modifying the HR UNIT parameter within the
SETTING mode.
NB: 1. The target zone is active when it is set to ON (setting within Settings) and the training
stopwatch has started up.
2. If you go over the Upper limit 2 beeps every 10 seconds will sound and the symbol (▲)
will be displayed on the watch screen. If you go below the Lower limit 1 beep every 10
seconds will sound and the symbol (▼) will be displayed on the watch screen.
3. It is possible to only use the upper limit or the lower limit by setting the other to an
unattainable value (e.g. 30 bpm for the lower limit).
