RECOVERY CHECK
BACKLIGHT
This function lets you gauge your conditioning level. In general, the faster your heart rate returns to normal after a
workout, the healthier your cardiovascular system is. This function records your pulse rate at 8 points (designated 0-
7), as you start the test and about every half-minute for the first 2 minutes, then each minute up to 5 minutes. [Actual
times: Start, 32 sec, 60 sec (1 min), 92 sec, 120 sec (2 min), 180 sec (3 min), 240 sec (4 min), 300 sec (5 min)] In order
to gain a reasonably accurate understanding of your recovery, we suggest that you perform this test just a few times
each month, take the readings on successive days, or reasonably close to it. Begin measurement immediately when
you complete a workout and try to do it from about the same beginning heart rate and following workouts of roughly
similar length and intensity (your recovery will differ from a very hard workout relative to an easy one, similarly with a
very long one).
To use this function, your heart rate must be being monitored.
Then, from Heart Rate Mode,
use the SELECT/LAP button to move to procedure 4.
Press the Start/Stop button to begin.
Recovery check stops after 5 minutes unless stopped before by pressing the START/STOP button.
To retrieve stored recovery rate data, monitoring must
be stopped.
Use the SELECT/LAP button to move to procedure 4,
Then, use the UP/LIGHT button to step through the
stored readings.
Note: The reading number appears at the lower right, the procedure number (4) continues to be displayed at
the lower left.
The memory is automatically cleared when a new set of readings is begun or the battery is removed.
The backlight allows the MF-180 to be used in low-light conditions.
To turn on the back light, press and hold the UP/LIGHT button.
Turning on the backlight when in calorie display in the heart rate mode and the monitor is sensing will clear the
current calories burned count. It may be helpful to use move to stopwatch mode if exercising in a dark
environment.Ó (This is based on the calorie count not resetting when pressed in stopwatch mode.)
