RECOVER Mode
This mode is used with an active HRM system. It is a fitness yardstick that measures
how quickly your heart rate declines from an elevated rate over a one- or two-minute
countdown period. When the timer ends an alert sounds and your beginning and
ending heart rates are displayed.
Using RECOVER Mode
1. Press MODE until RECOVER appears.
2. Press STOP/RESET/SET to toggle the recover time. You can choose one
or two minutes. (For the Fitness Model, press SET/RESET.)
3. Press START/SPLIT to begin the countdown (For the Fitness Model,
press START/STOP). The watch display will now show two heart rates -
your heart rate at the time you started the recovery timer in the top line
and your current heart rate in the bottom line.
4. When the alert sounds at the end of the recovery time, note the heart
rate in the lower line. Subtract this value from the value in the top line;
the difference is your recovery heart rate.
5. Press MODE to exit RECOVER Mode.
NOTE: The watch must be receiving the heart rate signal for the
RECOVER Mode to work.
