Omron HR-500U Instruction Manual page 13

Walking stride and jogging stride
• The values that flash when being set for the first time are
reference values calculated from the height that you set.
You can set the stride based on your own gait and physique to
increase the accuracy of the distance and pace calculations.
• To calculate a more accurate stride figure, measure one stride
(from toe to toe) after walking 10 paces or running.
• To calculate distance, the unit automatically detects whether you are walking
or running and then multiplies the appropriate stride by the number of paces.
8. Set your gender (SEX).
Setting range: F (female) or M (male)
9. Set your age (AGE).
Setting range: 18 to 79 years old
NOTE:
Update your age every birthday.
10. Set the maximum heart rate (HR MAX).
Setting range: 100 to 240 beats/min
The displayed value is calculated from the age you set based on a
standard formula:
Maximum heart rate (HR MAX) = 220 - age
* Maximum heart rate is used to calculate the training zones. The
formula provides an estimate of the heart rate you potentially
could achieve under maximum physical exertion. Attempting to
achieve your actual maximum heart rate should ONLY be done
under the guidance of a trained medical/fitness professional.
(Refer to "HEART RATE ZONES".)
