and other sounds may mask the alarm. When disarmed (OFF), no melody
is generated, though the watch display will still indicate visually that you
are above or below your selected zone.

B. Alarm will sound for 20 seconds, but can be silenced sooner by pressing
any button.
How to Set Your Target Heart Rate Fitness Zone
You can use the Fitness System to display your heart rate without setting
your Target Heart Rate Fitness Zone, but you should set the heart range
first, so that the display arrows and, if desired, audible alarm can help you
stay within your target heart rate zone. (See any fitness guide for target
heart rate zones).
A. Set your target heart rate by pressing MODE until HRM SETUP shows
briefly in Upper Display. The Upper Display will then show the current
high rate setting, Lower Display will show the low.
To Determine Your Target Heart Rate Fitness Zone, consult any
fitness guide.
Consult your physician before beginning an exercise program or
when modifying your fitness program.
