Lock a Zone

When training without preset target zones, you can lock your heart rate to the current sport zone. This way, if you did not preset target zones before starting the training, you can do it on-the-go during a session.

To lock/unlock the zone, press and hold OK.

If, for example, you are running with a heart rate of 130 bpm which is 75% of your maximum heart rate, and matches sport zone 3, you can press and hold OK to lock your heart rate into this zone. Sport zone3 Locked 70%-79%is displayed. An alarm sounds if you are below or above the sport zone (if the target zone alarm function is on). Unlock the sport zone by pressing and holding OK again: Sport zone3 Unlocked is displayed.

Using the software, you can also base ZoneLock on your speed/pace or cadence*. For further information, see software help.
