page 73.)

➤Specify your weight and height. (See “Weight/Height” on page 73.)

➤Specify your age and gender. (See “Birthday/Sex” on page 74.)

➤Enable the Learning function of the BF-1. (See “Learning Function” on

page 74.)

From the Top Menu, select Settings ➞ User Settings.

Heart Rate

These parameters let you check your heart rate (pulse) and register your resting

and maximum heart rates. Make sure the two readings are as accurate as

possible. These maximum and resting heart rates are used in the Fitness and

Training modes to tailor the music and pace to your true physical condition.

■Checking your resting heart rate and registering it

It is important for exercise and training purposes that you accurately

measure your resting heart rate. The best time to measure it is in the

morning, after a good night’s sleep, and before you get out of bed. The

heart beats about 50 to 70 times a minute when we’re at rest and it’s

generally lower in physically ﬁt people. As you exercise and train with the

BF-1, you may want to regularly check your resting heart rate and change

it when necessary.

1From the User Settings menu, select the Heart Rate settings.

2Make sure the pulse sensor is securely attached to your ear lobe

(see page 20).

Also, make sure you are truly resting, relaxed, and not following some strenuous

activity.
