Heart Rate
This lets you register your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate. The
resting heart rate can be simply measured by placing your fingers on your
wrist and counting the pulse during one minute, or by counting the pulse
over 15 seconds and multiplying by four. (Make sure you’re relaxed and
have not been exercising before taking your pulse.) After taking your
pulse, enter the resting heart rate value in this display. This setting can be
changed afterward if necessary by measuring pulse with the included
pulse sensor (page 71).
If you don’t know your maximum heart rate, it is unnecessary to enter it
here; it is automatically calculated from your age by default.
Use the / (Up/Down) buttons to change the setting then simultaneously
press both / (Up/Down) buttons to enter the change.
The cursor automatically moves to the next parameter. After you finish setting
both parameters, go on to the next display.

For details about resting heart rate and maximum heart rate, refer to pages 71 and 72.
Congratulations!
You’ve now made all necessary initial settings, and can now go on to using
your new BF-1.
The Top Menu of the BF-1 is automatically called up. Select one of the
modes from the Top Menu (referring to the appropriate section of this
manual), and start exercising!
