4. Determine your target heart rate zone and alert. In Configure
Mode, select HRM SETTINGS and then TZ ALERT. Use the target
zone alert to keep your heart rate within a defined range to maximize
your performance and prevent either over exertion or under
utilization of your heart during exercise.For more information refer
to “TZ zone and alert” on page 57.
5. Choose the unit display for your Watch. In Configure Mode set
length, speed, pace and altitude units to your liking. Refer to “Unit
settings” on page 62 for further information.
6. Set the ascent rate update. This setting in the ALTITUDE
SETTINGS group calculates how quickly you change altitude during
you workout (also known as vertical speed). Set this feature shorter
for faster vertical activities such as skiing or longer for slower vertical
activities such as climbing. Refer to “Update ascent rate” on page 60
for detailed information.
Though not necessary to adjust before your first workout, you may
want to review and configure the speed or pace target zones 
(page 59), distance alert (page 59) or additional handsfree features
(page 60).

T i m e   o f   D a y   M o d e
Your Watch can act as an ordinary watch to display the time, 
date, and day for two different time zones, using a 12 or 
24hour format. 
T i m e   o f   D a y   M o d e   t e r m i n o l o g y
UTC:When you use the Watch in conjunction with the GPS 3D
Sensor, it will align with UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated
formerly known as GMT). This describes the local time zone in
relationship to the Greenwich Meridian. For example, New York
City is in the 5 UTC zone, since New York is five hours earlier than
Greenwich Meridian; Moscow is \b3 UTC, since it is three hours
later than Greenwich Meridian.

When you first activate the GPS 3D Sensor with your Watch, you
can expect one of the following scenarios:
If you activate the GPS 3D Sensor before setting time of day, the
Watch will synchronize both T1 and T2 with UTC. You will need
to adjust the hour for both time zones to your local time.
If you activate the GPS 3D Sensor after setting the time of day,
the Watch maintains the hour and date settings and
synchronizes minutes and seconds to UTC for each time zone.
Note that you cannot adjust the seconds when you enable the
GPS features; they will always remain synchronized to UTC
time.

If the Watch does not detect either of the Fitness Sensors, the day
of the week will appear on the bottom line of the display.
You can only reset the seconds value to zero if you use the Watchin conjunction with the HR Sensor.
You may adjust the minutes value ahead or behind the correcttime and the watch will remember your setting. This feature
helps people who like to set their watches a little ahead to keep
them on time.

Assume that you live in San Francisco and work with a client in
Singapore. Like all busy people, it is imperative you keep track of
time, so you set T1 to your local time. But it is also important to
have a quick reminder of your client’s time, so you set T2 to
Singapore time. With both time zones available, you can quickly
check your client’s time or even switch your monitor to display T2
when you travel to Singapore.

Recently you heard that a training method for long distance
runners called the run\fwalk method can help increase your
overall endurance and burn more calories. This method calls for
running for a period of time followed by a short period of walking.
You decide to use Chronograph Mode to help you try this method.
You press  START\bSPLIT when you begin running and then after
10 minutes of running you press  START\bSPLITagain and walk
for 2 minutes. You continue using these two sequences until you
have completed a 60 minute run\fwalk.

You are training for a 100 KM bicycle race. Last year you rode in
the same race and finished in 4 hours, 15 minutes. This year your
goal is to finish in less than 4 hours. You read in a training
magazine that, when training for a race, you should devote one
day a week to riding at a distance equal to your event, working
toward your goal time. To help keep you on pace, you set Finish
Mode to 100 KM for a distance and 4 hours for a time. You set the
Watch to alert you audibly when you go slower than your required
pace to help keep you on track as you ride.

36 Interval:
Intervals relate your exercise to specific periods of time.
For instance, you can run for ten minutes, walk for two, run for
twenty minutes, and then walk for five – this would represent four
training intervals.
Reps: The number of times you choose to perform an interval
group. In the example above, if you choose to run the interval group
three times, you will go through your series of ten, two, twenty, and
five minute timings three times in sequence. This would represent 3
reps.
Warmup: The period at the beginning of your workout that helps
prepare your body for a more intensive training session. 
Cool Down: The period at the end of your work out that helps
your body to recover to a state of normal functioning.
S e l e c t i n g   a n   i n t e r v a l   w o r k o u t
You can use the Watch to set and store up to five workouts labeled
WKOUT 1 though WKOUT 5.
1. Press  MODEuntil Interval Mode appears.
2. Press 
(STOP\bRESET) to choose the workout you want to set
(WKOUT 1 through WKOUT 5).
Since you must reset the interval timer to select a new workout,
you may need to press the  STOP\bRESETbutton more than once
before you can view a new workout.
I n t e r v a l   T i m e r   M o d e
Interval Timer Mode offers a flexible sixinterval countdown timer,
and can retain settings for up to five different training sessions. It
includes warm up and cool down intervals and four training
intervals for each training session. You can set the group of four
training intervals to repeat up to 99 times. You can set the warm
up interval to run one time at the beginning of your training
session and the cool down interval to run one time at the end of
your training session.
