Observe the following points to determine your opti-
mal target heart rate:
› If necessary, you should undergo a sports-medi-
cal exercise test on a bicycle ergometer in order
to determine your performance level and physi-
cal condition (ask your health insurance provider
whether they will bear the cost of such a test).
› If no data from sports-medical tests is available,
then you should use the following table as a
guide:

Heart rates differ from person to person. Varia-
tions occur as a result of illness (such as func-
tional disorders of the thyroid gland), for exam-
ple, or the intake of bradycardia- or tachycardia-
inducing medication (such as digitalis, calcium
antagonists or beta blockers).
b. Setting the warning heart rate:
1. Select your optimal warning heart rate using
the arrow buttons.
2. Press the Set button.
With a target heart rate in the range of the basic
endurance, a warning heart rate of 10 beats (target
heart rate + 10) is recommended. This means: If the
target heart rate is exceeded by 10 beats, an acoustic
warning signal sounds immediately, which repeats
every six seconds. If the target heart rate is exceeded
by 15 beats, two acoustic warning signals sound,
which repeat every five seconds. If the target heart
rate is exceeded by a minimum of 20 beats, three
acoustic warning signals sound, which repeat every
four seconds.
6. Once you have set the target and warning heart rates,
you can navigate to the item "Back" using the arrow
buttons.
