ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the displayed time to the desired value, or key in the

220 minus an individual's age.
*Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum (HRmax). A 40-year-old user's recommended THR for
the CARDIO workout is 144, or 80 percent of the maximum; so the equation would be (220-40)*.80 = 144.
