User Settings

The User Settings contain a variety of settings for use with the Training, Fitness 
and Free Workout features of the BF-1. These allow you to:

➤ Check your heart rate (pulse) and register your resting and maximum heart 

rates. (See “Heart Rate” below.)

➤ Specify the length of your walking and jogging stride. (See “Stride” on 

➤ Specify your weight and height. (See “Weight/Height” on 

.)

➤ Specify your age and gender. (See “Birthday/Sex” on 

➤ Enable the Learning function of the BF-1. (See “Learning Function” on 

➞ User Settings.

These parameters let you check your heart rate (pulse) and register your resting 
and maximum heart rates. Make sure the two readings are as accurate as 
possible. These maximum and resting heart rates are used in the Fitness and 
Training modes to tailor the music and pace to your true physical condition.

■

It is important for exercise and training purposes that you accurately 
measure your resting heart rate. The best time to measure it is in the 
morning, after a good night’s sleep, and before you get out of bed. The 
heart beats about 50 to 70 times a minute when we’re at rest and it’s 
generally lower in physically fit people. As you exercise and train with the 
BF-1, you may want to regularly check your resting heart rate and change 
it when necessary.

Also, make sure you are truly resting, relaxed, and not following some strenuous 
activity.
