Sport Profile Settings

Adjust the settings for the sport profiles to suit your training needs in MENU > Settings > Sport Profiles. You can, for example, activate the sensors you want to use in different sports. When you start a training session using the sport profile, the training computer detects the needed sensors automatically.

There are four sport profiles shown in the pre-training mode by default: Running, Cycling (Bike 1), Other sport 1 and Other sport 2. The fifth sport profile, Cycling (Bike 2), is not show in the pre-training mode by default. You can set Cycling (Bike 2) to be shown in the pre-training mode in Cycling Settings.

The heart rate sensor is on by default in every sport, and the training computer automatically starts searching for the heart rate sensor signal once you press START in time mode. If you bought a set which does not include a heart rate sensor, turn it off in MENU > Settings > Sport Profiles > Sport > Heart rate sensor > Off.
