How to use Sports mode
Before beginning a regular exercise program, consult your physician or doctor.
For the built-in pedometer to work accurately, you have to strap the phone onto your waist with the carrying holder. The pedometer only works accurately when walking or running. It is possible to use an optional Bluetooth GPS enhancement for tracking distances and speed.
To activate the sports mode, press the instant swap key until the Sports view is displayed. When the scroll key light turns red, sports mode is active. On the first time you activate the sports mode, you are asked to enter a password, confirm the password and then enter your Personal data settings. The Personal data settings are necessary for the pedometer and exercise planning to function accurately. In sports mode you can monitor and record your exercise, make an exercise plan, review your progress, and perform tests.
The following is displayed in the Sports view:
- Icons for accessing Quickstart, Diary, and Tests.
- Current exercise targets and your progress.
If you set several targets, scroll down to the targets, and scroll left or right to view the other targets. To view details about your progress with the set target, press the scroll key. - Next planned exercise. If there are several targets and no upcoming planned exercises, a target is displayed instead of the planned exercise.
To start monitoring the next planned exercise, scroll down to the next planned exercise, and press the scroll key.
Warning: Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been sedentary. Before beginning a regular exercise program, consult your physician or doctor.
There are numerous factors to consider when determining pace limits and exercise intensity levels. Some of these factors include age, exercise frequency, and overall physical fitness.
In addition to exercise intensity, there are many factors that can increase the risks involved in exercising, especially if you have high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, or any signs or symptoms of any disease; if you are recovering from a serious illness or a medical treatment e.g. surgery; or heart, circulation; or if you use a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device.
