Switch background lighting on/off
You can light up the display on your fitness watch. For
this press ESC for approx. 2 seconds. The light
switches itself off automatically after a few seconds.

or for a particular day of the week.
Monitoring training
You can monitor training using the preset (FITNESS,
FAT BURN or HEALTH. HLT) or individually set (USER)
training range.
Measuring the heart beat
It is possible to measure the heart beat in each
function except during entry (display flashes). The
heart beat is measured from 40 to 200 bpm.

If the heart beat measured exceeds 200 the screen
no longer shows the heart beat.
You can select an alarm tone that will sound when you
exceed the upper or lower limit.
During the measuring process the heart symbol on
the screen flashes. Once the heart beat has been
successfully measured a tone is emitted and the value
is shown on the screen. The current heart beat is
displayed on the screen for a further 5 seconds when
you release the K2 button. If no signal is received for
more than 5 seconds the screen displays the mode
that is currently set.
Stopwatch and countdown
You can use your fitness watch to set a stopwatch and
lap time measurement or to countdown during
training.
Pacemaker
To monitor your training you can set a pacemaker that
sounds at a pre-set interval.

Calorie counter
The calories burned are counted in the training menu
during training. In addition, the watch calculates and
displays the calories burned from fat using the heart
beat.
You can also state a target calorie number and the un-
used calories can be called up after each training ses-
sion. For this the heart beat must be measured
regularly.
