limits in use i.e. you have not modified the heart rate limits manually. If you want to modify the Sport Zone heart rate limits manually, set the ZoneOptimizer function off.

To set the ZoneOptimizer function on, select MENU > Settings > Heart rate settings > ZoneOptimizer > On.

The ZoneOptimizer determination will start in the background already when you are in pre-training mode. When you see the ECG-curve on the top right hand corner on the display, you will know that the heart rate measurement and ZoneOptimizer are on.

1.To start the training session with ZoneOptimizer press OK.

The display will show the sport used in the previous training session and the count down timer will start running in the background as soon as the heart rate has reached 70 beats per minute. An ECG-curve will appear in the top right had corner of the display.

Select the sport profile you want to use for your training session with UP/DOWN and press OK to start training.

2.Keep your heart rate between 70 and 100 beats per minute for two minutes.

This can be achieved by standing or with very light training intensity, for example, walking slowly.

The alarm will sound, when the first part of the determination is finished.

3.The second part of the determination will start when your heart rate has risen above 100 beats per minute.

Continue training at light intensity. Increase heart rate gradually, and keep it between 100 – 130 bpm for two minutes.

This can be achieved, for example, by walking briskly, or by cycling/jogging at low intensity during warm up.

If you have a very low HRmax, the training computer will give you special limits. The alarm will sound when the second part of the ZoneOptimizer determination is finished.

The ZoneOptimizer determination may already finish here, if the heart rate variation limit is reached .

4.The third part of the determination will start when your heart rate has risen above 130 beats per minute.

Gradually increase your heart rate above 130 bpm and keep it there.

The ZoneOptimizer determination will be finalized when the heart rate has been above 130 beats per minute for more than half a minute.

The alarm will sound, when the third and final part of the determination is finished.
