You need to wear the heart rate monitor to perform the test; if there is no heart rate signal the test does not start.
To start the test, you must enter your age, weight and gender; then the mode and the workload for each of the two eort stages.
In running mode, the minimum speed that can be set is 7.0 km/h; in walking mode, the maximum speed that can be set is 6.9 km/h.
