Exercising with Interval Training Set (Int On, E1-E5)

In this mode you can also use the functions described in “Recording mode” section.

The Interval Trainer automatically guides you through your exercise. In order to hear the activity sounds when the phase starts and stops make sure the activity sound is on. If you have turned the countdown timer of the phase off, you have to stop the phase manually by pressing and holding OK button. When the stopwatch starts running indicates that Interval Trainer is on. As the interval training exercise ends the wrist unit automatically starts a BasicUse exercise, which is recorded to the same file as your interval training exercise.

Warm-up phase

1.First

Heart rate or pace limits 1 (if set on).

2.Then

Countdown timer 1.

Heart rate information.

Countdown timer starts running if you have set the timer 1 on. If you have set the timer off, press and hold OK and continue from the interval phase.

3. At the end of warm-up phase Warm-up phase duration.

Average heart rate of the warm-up phase.

Interval phase

The wrist unit records up to 30 repeated interval phases. Your interval phase is divided into interval and recovery calculation (if set on) sections, which alternate continuously through your interval phase. As the interval phase changes, the limits are automatically swapped. For example, when the first phase changes to the second phase, the preset limits 1 changes to preset limits 2. You can also swap the limits by pressing and holding the up button. Repeat until the desired limits are displayed.
