Lock a Zone
When training without preset target zones, you can lock your heart rate to the current sport zone. This
way, if you haven’t had time to define preset target zones prior to exercise, you can set a target zone
on the go during a session.
To lock/unlock the zone, press and hold OK.
During programmed exercises: Press and hold OK and select Lock zone/Unlock zone from the Lap menu.
If, for example, you are running with a heart rate of 130 bpm which is 75% of your maximum heart
rate, and matches sport zone 3, you can press and hold OK to lock your heart rate into this zone. Sport
zone3 Locked 70%-79% is displayed. An alarm sounds if you are below or above the sport zone (if the
target zone alarm function is on). Unlock the sport zone by pressing and holding OK again: Sport zone3
Unlocked is displayed.
Using the software, you can also base ZoneLock on your speed/pace*. For further information, see
software help.
Zoom the Display
Press and hold UP to zoom into the upper row, and DOWN to zoom into the middle row. Return to the
normal display by pressing and holding the buttons again.
