Press the Navigation button ENTER to open the total values menu or memory 1-7.

In total values you can see the training units you have completed over various periods of time like training diary. In this way you can observe the most important training data over a much longer period than in memory 1-7.

6.1 TOTAL VALUES

In contrast to memory 1-7 this memory is not used to precisely analyze an individual training unit but rather to analyze the "training discipline" over a longer period (How regularly have I trained in a certain week or month?).

Your ONYX FIT saves the most important total values of the training units you have completed over the following periods of time:

Per week [up to 12 weeks]
Per month (up to 12 months)
Since reset

For this the following values are displayed for the desired period of time:

Number of training units
Total training time
Average training time
Kcal

6.2 MEMORY 1-7

In addition to the total values your ONYX FIT has a very detailed memory for analyzing up to 7 independent training units. There is a difference between overall info and the detailed information on the Warm-up, Workout, Cool-down training sections.

Depending on the type of training unit completed, the ONYX FIT memory is structured differently to provide an ideal analysis of your training.

Your most recently saved training unit is always stored in memory 1 and once 7 training units are stored the oldest training unit is deleted.

6.2.1 OVERALL INFO

7. OTHER INFORMATION

7.1 INFORMATION ON HEART RATE

The heart rate (HR) is stated in beats per minute.

Maximum heart rate

The maximum heart rate [HR max.] is the maximum possible rate at which your heart beats when exploiting your physical performance completely. Your personal HR max. varies with your age, gender, ability to perform, performance related to your type of sport and your physical fitness.

We recommend undertaking this test with a doctor and repeating it regularly.

The HR max. is approximated automatically in the ONYX FIT using the following mathematical equation:

Men:

210 - "half age" - (0.11 x personal weight in kg) + 4

Women:

210 - "half age" - (0.11 x personal weight in kg)

The right training pulse

The training zone is the range in which the heart rate should move during effective and targeted training. Please always note that general exercise can never address personal issues! Therefore really ideal training can only be designed by a well educated trainer who personally knows the athlete.

7.1 INFORMATION ON HEART RATE

1 ^st HR zone (health zone) - Health: 55-70% of HR max.

Designed for: health for people who are new to training (or starting again).

This zone is also called the "fat burning zone" and it trains the aerobic metabolism. More fat than carbohydrate is burned or converted to energy over longer times at lower intensity. That is why it is recommended to train at this intensity >40 min to reduce weight.

2^st HR zone (fitness zone) - fitness: 70 - 80% of HR max.

Designed for: fitness at advanced level.

You already train more intensively in the fitness zone. Training in this zone strengthens basic endurance.

3^st HR zone (power zone) - performance: 80-100% of HR max.

Designed for: training for performance-oriented athletes, partially in anaerobic range. Training in the power zone is very intensive and should only be carried out by well trained athletes.

7.2 FAQ

What happens if I remove the chest belt during training?

The watch will no longer display a signal, the screen will indicate "O" - after a short period of time the ONYX FIT goes into sleep mode (stopwatch does not operate).

Do SIGMA heart rate monitors switch off completely?

No - in sleep mode only the time and date are displayed so you can use the heart rate monitor as a normal watch. In this state the ONYX FIT uses only very little power.

Why does the display react slowly or is coloured black?

The operating temperature may be too high or low. Your heart rate monitor is designed for temperatures between 0^ and 55^ (32-140 degrees F).

What should I do if the screen display is weak?

A weak display may be due to weak batteries. You should change them as quickly as possible - battery type CR 2032 (Item No. 00342)

7.3 BEEP SUMMARY

The different volume settings are:

Button tones:

Button tones give the user acoustic feedback each time a button is pressed.
