Birthday/Sex

This setting lets you enter your age and sex. Your gender has no bearing on the

functions of the BF-1, but your age is used for calculating the default maximum

heart rate (according to the formula 220 – your age) which is automatically

displayed in the Heart Rate setting menu.

1From the User Settings menu, select the Birthday/Sex settings.

2Enter the appropriate information for each.

n

The date format used for the Birthday setting depends on the setting made in the Date/Time

settings (page 70).

Learning Function

The BF-1 memorizes the skip/top count and analyzes the playback priority for

each song. It also memorizes your manual pace change and calculates your

optimal pace and maximum heart rate in the Fitness modes and Training mode.

These features are together called the Learning function.

When you change songs while exercising, the BF-1 memorizes the skip/top

count—in other words, the number of times you skip over certain songs or go

back to the top of certain songs—and determines the playback priority of the

song. If a song has a high skip count (meaning you often skip it and go on to

another song), it is given a lower playback priority. If a song has a high top

count (meaning you often rewind back to the top of the song), it is given a

higher playback priority.

When you change the pace manually while exercising, the BF-1 memorizes the

pace changes and your heart rate and calculates your optimal starting pace,

fastest pace and maximum heart rate. If the calculated maximum heart rate

differs from the maximum heart rate setting you set before, you can manually

register the new value to the BF-1.

If you change your pace manually or change songs while exercising, a

conﬁrmation message will appear when the workout reaches its end to prompt

you to memorize the changed information. Select “Yes” to memorize.

n

The playback priority is memorized for each exercise segment: warm up, during exercise, and cool

down.
