2.7.2 How to start the Countdown Timer
During the training interval, the set heart rate limits are in use and the heart rate information is calculated and stored in the Hrm memory.
When the time has been counted down, a beep is heard, and simultaneously a new interval will begin.
If the recovery interval has a value other than zero, this interval will now be counted down. During the recovery interval the heart rate is
displayed, but not measured nor stored for later calculations and will not effect max/min/average heart rate readings nor the time spent
in/above/below the target zone readings. the limits established are not in use during this interval either.
If the recovery interval has been set to “0”, another training interval is immediately started. this interval is repeated as many times as
set in the setup of the countdown timer. When the last interval is completed, a triple-beep is heard signifying to the user the end of
the countdown timer process.
To start the countdown timer:
. press the [+] button to start, stop, and restart the timer in the countdown timer sub mode.
. During an activity, press the [-] button to view the number of intervals remaining. this will be displayed in field .
3. once the timer has stopped, press the [-] button to reset the timer to zero.
Note: If the user is in other modes or sub modes when the countdown time has been activated, the countdown timer will continue and
remain in the background. a flashing “timer” text in field 3 indicates that the timer is still activated.
2.8 HRM MeMoRy
the Hrm memory sub mode stores the maximum, minimum, and average heart rates during selected intervals (training or recovery),
as well as the time spent in, above and below selected heart rates (target zones). If the heart rate goes beyond the selected zone,
an alarm sounds.
to view the Hrm memory, in the Hrm mode, press the [select] button three times to enter this submode.
In the Hrm memory mode, there are six display screens.
1. In the first display (main display) (Fig. 8):
• Field 1 displays the year of the start date;
• Field 2 displays the start time; and
• field 3 displays the start date.
