step 2 Beginning of the recording:

 

Start the recording

4sec.

Switch on/switch off the acoustic pulse signal

step 3 End/interruption of the recording: AUTOMATIC after the countdown time elapses

Manual interruption = stop recording

step 4 Display of the values (even during recording)

Display data via the LIMIT LO HI pulse menu (Display automatically shows the times for the three ranges in %)

-Time above the high limit

-Time between the limit values

-Time under the low limit

step 5 Deleting recorded data 4sec. ∫

TIP: At the end of the training unit measure the recovery time or the recovery pulse to determine your training status, see chapter 7.4. Recovery time and recovery pulse.

Note: All bicycle altitude and pulse function can also be called up during timer operation via the ç √ ¥ ≈ buttons.

TIP: At the end of your countdown timer measure the recovery time or the recovery pulse to determine your training status. See 7.4. Recovery time and recovery pulse.

14.4. TRAINING WITH THE LAP TIMER

The lap timer of your VDO computer is designed for lap training. You can record up to 50 laps manually. In this case your computer saves the following values for each lap:

-Lap time

-Average pulse during the lap

-Average speed during the lap (IMPORTANT: no display in walk mode) With these values you have an outstanding method of analyzing the development of your performance if you always do the same laps. This could be certain mountain values or flat stretches on your training lap. The lap timer function can be set in bicycle mode and in walk mode.

Important:

1.The values saved for the individual laps can only be shown in the display in recall mode after concluding the measurement.

2.If the lap timer is running the residence period of the pulse frequency in the selected training ranges is recorded (compare 13.1)

step 1 Preparing the recording:

-Set the training ranges automatically chapter 7.1, or manually chapter 7.2

-Select training program limit 1, limit 2, limit 3, chapter 7.3

-In the TIMER SETTINGS setting menu select the lap timer chapter 13.1.
