5.2.2 MANUAL LIMITS

If you have not entered your date of birth in Basic Settings, the wrist unit will ask for the missing information before accepting the limit settings. The wrist unit displays your previously defined heart rate limits.

Alternatively, if you have not defined the manual limits before, your age-based limits are displayed.

(See steps 1-4 on page 29.)

The display reads:		Press or to set	Press the Red button to accept
5.	OwnZone / Manual / Off LIM	/	Red button
		• select Manual
6.	HR / HR %	/	Red button

•select heart rate format: beats per minute or % of your maximum heart rate

7.	HighLimit	/	Red button
		• adjust the upper limit
8.	LowLimit	/	Red button

•adjust the lower limit

•To return to Time mode, press and hold the Stop button.

Instead of determining your target heart rate zone by using OwnZone, you can define your target heart rate limits by using the age formula.

Your target heart rate zone is a range between lower and upper heart rate limits expressed as percentages of your maximum heart rate (HRmax) or as beats per minute (bpm). HRmax is the highest number of heartbeats per minute during maximum physical exertion. The wrist unit calculates your HRmax, using to your age:

Maximum heart rate = 220-age. For more accurate measurement of your HRmax, visit your doctor or exercise physiologist for an exercise stress test.

How to use the Target Heart Rate Zones

In exercise, different heart rate zones produce different fitness and health benefits. The heart rate zones that suit you depend on your goal and your basic physical condition.
