Page 26: Memory
. MEMORY 1– In addition to the total values your ONYX FIT has a very detailed memory for analyzing up to 7 independent training units. There is a difference between overall info and the detailed information on the Warm-up, Workout, Cool-down training sections. Depending on the type of training unit com- pleted, the ONYX FIT memory is structured differently to provide an ideal analysis of your training. Your most recently saved training unit is always stored in memory 1 and once 7 training units are stored the oldest training unit is deleted. ..1 OVERALL INFO No matter what the training type when saving a training program general overall information that relates to the complete training program (Warm-up, Workout, Cool-down) is recorded. The overall information for a training unit shows the user the following values: k Date k Start time k Total time k Average HR k Highest HR k Kcal www.sigmasport.com... -

Page 28: Other Information
. OTHER INFORMATION .1 INFORMATION ON HEART RATE The heart rate (HR) is stated in beats per minute. Maximum heart rate The maximum heart rate (HR max.) is the maximum possible rate at which your heart beats when exploiting your physical performance completely. Your personal HR max. varies with your age, gender, ability to perform, performance related to your type of sport and your physical fitness. We recommend undertaking this test with a doctor and repeating it regularly. The HR max. is approximated automatically in the ONYX FIT using the following mathematical equation: Men: 210 – “half age” – (0.11 x personal weight in kg) + 4 Women: 210 – “half age” – (0.11 x personal weight in kg) The right training pulse The training zone is the range in which the heart rate should move during effective and targeted training. Please always note that general exercise can never address personal issues! Therefore really ideal training can only be designed by a well educated trainer who personally knows the athlete. www.sigmasport.com... -
Page 29: Faq
.1 INFORMATION ON HEART RATE HR zone (health zone) – Health: –0 % of HR max. Designed for: health for people who are new to training (or starting again). This zone is also called the “fat burning zone” and it trains the aerobic metabolism. More fat than carbohydrate is burned or converted to energy over longer times at lower intensity. That is why it is recommended to train at this intensity > 40 min to reduce weight. HR zone (fitness zone) – fitness: 0 –0 % of HR max. Designed for: fitness at advanced level. You already train more intensively in the fitness zone. Training in this zone strengthens basic endurance. HR zone (power zone) – performance: 0 –100 % of HR max. Designed for: training for performance-oriented athletes, partially in anaerobic range. Training in the power zone is very intensive and should only be carried out by well trained athletes. - Page 30 . FAQ Do SIGMA heart rate monitors switch off completely? No – in sleep mode only the time and date are displayed so you can use the heart rate monitor as a normal watch. In this state the ONYX FIT uses only very little power. Why does the display react slowly or is coloured black? The operating temperature may be too high or low. Your heart rate monitor is designed for temperatures between 0 °C and 55 °C (32–140 degrees F). What should I do if the screen display is weak? A weak display may be due to weak batteries. You should change them as quickly as possible – battery type CR 2032 (Item No. 00342) www.sigmasport.com...
