hiya

i have a polar f7 (old one i think :-))

i have set my max and resting heart rate but when my heart rate reached above 140 my wrist watch starts beeping for me to reduce it?

im not sure why i have checked the user settings and they are set at 75 resting and 193 max rate but the beeping is driving me insane - does anyone know how to stop this?

thanks

    you can change this on user settings. there should be something that says alerts on or something. just turn it off

    I have the FT4F and also just turned the 'training sounds' under 'training settings' off. Don't know if they are called the same on the FT7 ...

    Yep, had to do the same or someone would beat me with a stick at the gym. :flowerforyou:

    I have that older model, too.

    So push OK > UP > SETTINGS > HR SET > HR ALARM > OFF > (And then BACK 4 times)




    du'oh. I was too slow. Oh, well, maybe someone else can use the info. Have a happy quiet workout.

    You probably have you goal for fat burn, fat burn zone is at lower HR. That being said zones are full of S&%t and the higher you HR within reason the better your results.
