75%), the LED ﬂashes in red. When your exercise pace is optimal (%HRR is

between 55% and 75%), the LED ﬂashes in green. If your heart rate is slow (the

exercise intensity is low—i.e., the %HRR is lower than 55%, or you are not

exercising), the LED ﬂashes in blue. In all other situations, the LED is off.

Tu r ning the Power On / Making Initial Settings

The ﬁrst time you turn on the power of your new BF-1, the device conveniently

and automatically guides you through several important settings. These include

the display language, correct time and date, as well as personal information

such as your birthday, weight, height and resting heart rate. You’ll need to make

these settings before you can effectively use the BF-1. Once you’ve entered this

data, the BF-1 becomes your own personal exercise device, customized with

your unique settings.

n

If the display turns off at any time while you’re making the initial settings, simply press any key to

turn it on again.

1 Press the [ ] (Standby/On) button to turn on the power.

If you are turning on the power for the ﬁrst time (or you have reset the device;

see page 76), the Language display will appear. This determines the

language for all messages and indications on the BF-1. Five languages are

available: English, Japanese, German, Spanish and French.

n

When you are turning on the power for the second time or after, the Top display (page 14) will

appear.

2 Use the ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to select the desired language.

3 Simultaneously press both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to enter the

selection.

The following display appears.

n

Throughout the rest of this manual, all operations and example displays are given in English.

4 Select “Set Up” then press both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons

simultaneously to start making the initial settings.

The following displays will appear in succession. Follow the instructions in

each of the displays, making the necessary settings and entering the relevant

information.

n

If you want to use the device immediately without making any initial settings, select “Try” here.

This calls up the Guest mode. Refer to the Guest mode instructions (page 47).

n

The set Time is entered at the moment you press both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons when the cursor

is located at the AM/PM position.

■ Birthday/Sex

This lets you enter your birthday and gender. Your birthday in particular is

important, since it determines the physical age the BF-1 uses in its

calculations.

Use the ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to change the setting then simultaneously

press both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to enter the change.

The cursor automatically moves to the next parameter. After you ﬁnish all the

settings, go on to the next display.

■ Weight/Height

This setting lets you enter your personal weight and height. Measure the

two as accurately as possible, since these are used by the BF-1 in its

calculations.

n

■ Heart Rate

This lets you register your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate. The

resting heart rate can be simply measured by placing your ﬁngers on your

wrist and counting the pulse during one minute, or by counting the pulse

over 15 seconds and multiplying by four. (Make sure you’re relaxed and

have not been exercising before taking your pulse.) After taking your

pulse, enter the resting heart rate value in this display. This setting can be

changed afterward if necessary by measuring pulse with the included

pulse sensor (page 71).

If you don’t know your maximum heart rate, it is unnecessary to enter it

here; it is automatically calculated from your age by default.

Use the ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to change the setting then simultaneously

press both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to enter the change.

The cursor automatically moves to the next parameter. After you ﬁnish setting

both parameters, go on to the next display.

n

For details about resting heart rate and maximum heart rate, refer to pages 71 and 72.

Congratulations!

You’ve now made all necessary initial settings, and can now go on to using

your new BF-1.

The Top Menu of the BF-1 is automatically called up. Select one of the

modes from the Top Menu (referring to the appropriate section of this

manual), and start exercising!

Attaching the armband

■ Attaching the BF-1 to the armband

1 Connect the earphone cable to the BF-1.

Be sure to push the earphone connector all the way in until the silicon packing

ﬁts to the surface.

CAUTION

• Do not unplug the earphone cable from the BF-1 while using it. If rain, sweat

or any other liquid gets inside the BF-1 through the earphone terminal, the

device could be damaged.

• When disconnecting the earphone cable, hold the connector directly and pull

it. Do not pull on the cable.

n

If the silicone packing comes off, be sure to install it again so that the protruding part on the

silicone packing ﬁts in the corresponding hole on the plug.

2 Attach the device to the armband.

IMPORTANT

• Make sure that the YAMAHA logo can be seen at the top of the arm band. This is the

proper orientation for ﬁtting to the armband.

• Insert the BF-1 fully until a click sound is heard.

■ Attaching the armband to your arm

IMPORTANT

Make sure to wear the arm band only when the BF-1 is also inside. The band cannot

be adjusted if the armband is empty.

1 Loosen the armband and put your left arm into the armband.

2 Fasten the armband to your upper arm, just above your elbow.

IMPORTANT

• Adjust the armband into position so that you can easily

see the display.

• Do not wear the armband anywhere on your body other

than your upper arm (for example, your neck, wrist,

ankle, etc.). Doing so may cause the motion sensor to

not function properly.

• Make sure to wear the BF-1 above your elbow. The

sensor in the unit that measures vibration during your

exercise will not function properly if the device is worn

below the elbow.

• Do not fasten the armband too tight or too loose. If it’s too tight, it may cause

discomfort and even harm you; too loose, and the motion sensor may not function

properly, or the device may fall off your arm.

■ Removing the BF-1 from the armband

Push the tab down and pull the device up and out.

■ Proper care of the armband

The armband requires little care, but if it gets dirty, wash it gently by hand

with water. Make sure to dry it completely before using again.

Putting on the earphones and pulse sensor

IMPORTANT

Make sure not to confuse the right (R) and left (L) earphones. The set cannot be worn

properly in reverse.

1 Hook the earphone cable over the top of your ear.

2 Insert the earphone into your ear.

n

For comfort and better ﬁt, you may want to apply the earphone pads to the earphones before

wearing them.

3 Adjust the earphone angle as desired.

Do the same for both earphones and both ears.

IMPORTANT

The proper position is with the earphone tilted slightly against the ear. However, each

individual’s ears may differ somewhat, so you should adjust this for maximum comfort

and optimum listening.

4 Clip the pulse sensor onto your left ear lobe.

While one of the exercise modes is active, the lamp on the device will ﬂash in

time with your heart rate (page 10).

h

If your heart rate cannot be detected, try:

• Gently rubbing or massaging your ear to stimulate blood circulation.

• Changing the pulse sensor location.

• Adjusting the sensitivity of the pulse sensor (page 66).

5 Slide the cable tightener toward your head.

Doing this helps ﬁt the earphone set more snugly to your neck and head.

Adjust the tightener to the most comfortable position.
