2.1 FUNCTION SUMMARY
2.2 KEY ALLOCATION AND NAVIGATION PRINCIPLE
The 4 main menus of the ONYX EASY
Your ONYX EASY is classified into 4 main menus
– “Training”, “Time”, “Memory” and “Setting”.
The symbol and description on the screen
indicates where you are in the main menu. Use
the PLUS /MINUS buttons to change between
the individual main menus.
The ONYX EASY uses three menu levels. When navigating through

3. SETTINGS BEFORE THE FIRST TRAINING
Now various setting values are displayed in
each menu. Change the setting value using
the Navigation button kCHANGE.
Increase /reduce the value to be set using
PLUS /MINUS. Confirm the relevant setting with
OK and save the setting when you have finished
using kSAVE.
Note: The ONYX EASY has an additional memory

3.1 SETTING USER
The calculated max. HR (heart rate) forms the basis for deter-
mining the upper and lower limits of your preferred training zone.
Selecting and setting the training zone is done in the “Settings //
User // Train. Zone” menu. Depending on your personal targets,
you can choose to activate one of the following training zones in
the ONYX EASY.
1. Fat Burner Zone: kapprox. 55–70 % of HR max.
When training at a lower intensity and hence longer period,
a bigger percentage of fat than carbohydrate is used to provide
energy. Therefore people who primarily want to reduce their
weight and burn fat should train in this area. The recommended
training period is 45-90 min.
Beginners, who have not done any sport for a long time, should
also start training in this area of intensity at first. This significantly
reduces the danger of over-exertion and the associated health
risks.
2. Fitness Zone: kapprox. 70–80 % of HR max.
Heart-circulation training is predominantly used to improve
aerobic performance.
3. Personal Zone:
ONYX EASY also gives you the opportunity to set your own
training zone. To do this you change the upper and lower limits
in the “Settings //User // Train. Zone” menu option using the
navigation button kCHANGE.
Note: Notes about making settings can be found at the start of
this chapter.

3.2 SETTING UNIT
The “setting unit” menu provides the language
(D ,GB /USA, F, ES, IT), date, clock (12 /24 h

Zone Alarm:
On the zone alarm, an acoustic signal beeps
when the user goes above or below the limits
of the training zone.
Please refer to Chapter 7.3 “Beep summary”
for a summary of the acoustic signals. You will
find information on the setting principle at the
start of this chapter.

the ONYX EASY using the “my name” function.
In sleep mode the watch displays the name or
any font of up to 10 characters in length.

not used to give an exact analysis of a single
training session, but more to analyse the
“training regime” over a longer period. (How
regularly have I trained in a certain week or
month)
