Suunto t1 manual Target, Heart rate zone settings

Upper limit	Target
Lower limit	heart rate

When the Limit alarm is on, Suunto t1 gives you an alarm when your heart rate rises above the upper limit or drops below the lower limit. The alarm continues until you return to your target heart rate range.

By checking your average heart rate you can adjust your training intensity to make sure the session is as effective as possible.

2.2.2. Heart rate zone settings

In the Heart Rate Zone menu, you can define the 3 heart rate zones and set the tones on or off. The 3 heart rate zones are useful in training as they record how much of your training is spent within specific heart rate zones, or if you want to give yourself a long enough warm-up, or keep your heart rate at an optimum level for fat burning.

After training, you can see how much of the session was spent in each zone. Each zone is a range of heart rates expressed as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (which is calculated based on the age you enter in the Personal settings menu). Accept the settings with a short press of the ENTER button, which also moves you on to the next menu item.

The default heart rates for zones 1-3 are 60-70%, 70-80%, and 80-90% of your maximum heart rate, but if you are following a specially designed training program, enter the zone values that have been tailored towards your individual goals. The benefits of training in each default zone are shown in the table below.
