The test begins with Fitness Test and your heart rate being displayed. The increasing number of arrows indicates that the test is in progress. Stay relaxed. Keep your hands beside your body and limit body movements and communication with other people.

Note:

If you have not set your long-term physical activity level in User Settings, Activity is displayed. Press the / buttons to select TOP, HIGH, MODERATE, or LOW. For further information on activity levels, see page 69.

If USER SETTINGS MISSING appears, some of the user settings are missing. Press OK to complete all your settings. For further information, see the section User Settings on page 68.

You can stop the test at anytime by pressing the Back button. Fitness Test Failed is displayed for a few seconds. Your most recent OwnIndex value is not replaced.

If the wrist unit does not receive your heart rate at the beginning or during the test, the test fails. Check that the transmitter electrodes are wet and that the textile strap is snug enough.

When the test is over, the following information is displayed.
