Recording Rate
Select Settings > Features > Rec.rate > 1 / 5 / 15 / 60 sec
The running computer can store your heart rate, speed/pace,* and altitude in 1, 5, 15 or 60 second
intervals. A longer interval gives you more recording time, while a shorter interval allows you to record
more heart and other data. This enables accurate data analysis using the software.
A shorter recording rate consumes the memory of the running computer more rapidly. The remaining
recording time is displayed on the lower row when setting the rate. Default recording rate is 5 seconds.
When less than 30 minutes of maximum recording time is left, the recording rate changes
automatically to longer recording time (1s > 5s > 15s > 60s). This will maximize the time to record
exercise data. When the session ends, the current recording rate remains as default.
The following table shows the maximum recording times for each recording rate. Note that recording
rate might change when there is less than 30 minutes of recording time left.

** This is a sum of 2 or more exercises; maximum duration of a single exercise is 99 h 59 min 59 s.
The maximum recording time can be shorter, if you record a large number of short exercises.
The durations in the table are estimates. For RR data, maximum recording time depends on heart rate and
variation of heart rate. If you record laps in your exercise, and/or if you have created an exercise that
includes phases with the software, the maximum recording time will decrease.
Recording doesn't automatically stop when the memory becomes full. Therefore, exercise time may be
longer than recording time.
