beats per minute (220 – 30 = 190). If you are 30 years old, a target heart rate setting of 50 is equal to 95 beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).
If desired, you can change the target heart rate setting by pressing the + and – buttons above the ENTER AGE/WT button. The buttons can be held down to change the target heart rate setting quickly. The target heart rate setting can be from 50% to 85% of your estimated maximum heart rate.
