workout, simply stop the program before it ends.)
The second heart rate program is divided into 30
one-minute segments. One target heart rate setting
is programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
two or more consecutive segments.
If the second heart rate
program is selected, the
target heart rate setting
for the first segment will
be shown in the flashing
current segment column
of the matrix. The target
heart rate settings for the
next several segments will be shown in the
columns to the right. When only three seconds re-
main in the first segment of the program, both the
current segment column and the column to the
right will flash and a series of tones will sound.
