Timex W-188 Heart Rate Monitor User Manual


 
GPS-3D SENSOR SETTINGS
Smoothing: Smoothing is useful if you feel that the displayed
speed or pace values appear to be too erratic. Smoothing applies
an averaging filter and may cause the displayed speed or pace
values to respond more slowly to changes.
Configure the following speed and distance settings:
Zone Type: Set the Watch to track your speed or your pace and to
alert you if you move too slowly or too quickly (alert types include
an audible alert that beeps or a silent alert that flashes).
NOTE: You can set speed and pace limits independently. For
instance, set pace limits to control pace for your run and
set speed limits to values useful for cycling. Then simply
switch between the settings for each activity.
Distance Alert: Set the Watch to alert you for distance
intervals. For example, you can set the Watch to alert you for
every mile you travel. The distance alert will only function
when the chronograph is running.

Configure the following heart rate settings:
TZ1 and TZ2: For each of the two target zones, you may select
from one of five preset heart rate zones based on a percentage
of your maximum heart rate. You may also customize each limit
to your own selected upper and lower limits. Since both TZI
and TZ2 operate at the same time, you will track more useful
data if you do not set the zone limits to overlap with each other.
For information on the importance of tracking heart rate
information, refer to Heart Zones Tools for Success.
Audible Alert: You can set the alert to warn you with a beep
when you go above, below, or either above or below your heart
rate zone, or not to alert you at all.
Recovery: You can set the recovery time to one minute, two
minutes, or off. This helps you determine how quickly your
heart rate returns to a lower heart rate value at the end of your
activity. The quicker you return, the better your fitness level.
Max Heart Rate: Enter your Maximum Heart Rate. This
value is used to calculate five preset heart rate zones and serve
as a reference for your heart rate expressed as a percentage of
maximum.
NOTE: Prior to configuring your heart rate settings, refer to
Heart Zones Tools for Success for information on
how to determine your maximum heart rate.
