H.R.C. - Heart-rate controlled programs

After you have selected the program you can enter the desired target heart rate. Either choose one of
the three target heart rates (55%, 75% or 90% of your maximum heart rate) or select "TAG" and enter
a target heart rate manually. Your maximum heart rate is determined by the console based on your
age (which you have entered in the user account). Confirm your selection with the ENTER button.
Next, you can enter the workout time using the control wheel, and press the START/STOP button to
start your workout. When your workout starts, the time set will run backwards. An alarm sounds if
you exceed the selected target heart rate. The alarm then sounds continuously until your heart rate
exceeds the set limit again. If your heart rate stays above the set rate for a long time, the program will
stop automatically. As soon as the countdown reaches zero, the screen starts to flash and an alarm
sounds. Press any button to turn off the alarm. The console has an integrated heart-rate receiver.
Heart rate can be measured via the hand pulse sensors; however, a chest strap is recommended for
heart-rate measurement as this measurement technique gives far more accurate values.
Tip:
If no heart-rate signal is received for five seconds, a heart symbol with a question mark is displayed.
This symbol disappears once a heart-rate signal is received again.
