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.

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.

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 displays will appear in succession. Follow the instructions in

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

information.

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

■ 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.

Exercising with the BF-1

The BF-1 is a unique music player designed speciﬁcally for

listening while exercising. It features a variety of sophisticated

functions that tailor the music to your exercising. The BF-1

monitors your heart beat and walking/jogging steps, and

automatically selects music of exactly the right tempo for your

exercise. It also gives you comprehensive, detailed training

programs that use the music and tempo to fully guide you

through an exercise session—like an expert coach or trainer.

The BF-1 has three basic Exercise modes: Free Workout, Walk/

Jog Fitness, and Training.

Walking/Jogging at Your Own Pace—Free Workout

Mode

In the Free Workout mode, the BF-1 automatically matches the music to your

exercise pace, selecting songs that have almost the same tempo as your

jogging or walking speed. When you change pace, the music changes with

you. This lets you jog freely and set your own pace—and enjoy music that

perfectly ﬁts your pace.

If you want to constrain the length of your exercise session, you can use the

Goal Setting parameters to automatically stop music playback once you’ve

reached the desired target. You can set the target to be a speciﬁc time, a

speciﬁc distance, or the amount of calories you wish to burn off. (Only one of

the targets can be set and be in effect for a session.)

To call up the Free Workout mode:

Select “Free Workout” from the Top Menu.

Exercising with Free Workout

The Free Workout mode is an easy, convenient way to exercise using the

versatile tempo changing features of the BF-1, since it automatically matches

the music to your exercise pace.

Keep in mind that it takes a few seconds to detect your pace and call up a song that matches your

pace.

If you ﬁnd that songs change frequently or few songs matching your pace are called up, adjust the

sensitivity of the step sensor and/or the pace censor (page 67).

1 From the Free Workout menu, select “Start,” then start jogging or

walking.

You can set the goal setting (targets for your exercise) and/or select a speciﬁc

music playlist for the session. If you want to do so, select “Setting” here and

go to page 27 (Goal Setting and Music Selection).

Once you set the goal setting, it will be shown in the “Start” menu the next time

you use the device, enabling you to continue with the same exercise settings

as before.

If the pulse sensor is not attached properly or if your heart rate cannot be detected

(that is, when the LED is off), heart rate is not memorized in the exercise log

(page 29). Reattach the pulse sensor properly and make sure that your pulse is being

measured.

For playback of certain songs (and depending, of course, on the characteristics of those

songs), you may ﬁnd that the song tempo does not match your pace. If this is the case, you can

manually correct the tempo information with the BODiBEAT Station software. For details, refer to

the BODiBEAT Station Owner’s Manual.

2 While you’re jogging or walking, you can change the volume of the

music, select different songs, or lock the pace.

See “Operation During Exercise” on page 42.

3 Press the ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons simultaneously after pressing

the [MENU] button once.

A log showing detailed information on your session automatically appears.

(For more about the session log, see “After a Free Workout session” on

page 29.)

You can also stop the session by holding both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons

together.

If a goal is set in advance, once the set target has been reached, music

playback stops automatically and the log display appears.

When the Learning Function (page 74) is set to on, a conﬁrmation message will appear before

the log display appears and prompts you to update the maximum heart rate and tempo.

automatically sorts the songs you’ve loaded according to tempo and assigns them to the

appropriate Playlist.

Even if you’ve selected a speciﬁc Playlist or “All Songs” in step 2 here, playback may be a mix of

pre-loaded BODiBEAT songs and audio songs, or even only BODiBEAT songs. This would occur

when:

• No songs of the appropriate tempo exist in the speciﬁed Playlist or among all songs on the

device.

• The Music Priority parameter (page 61) has been set to “Mix,” which means that audio songs

and BODiBEAT songs are mixed in a 50/50 ratio. (The default setting of Music Priority is “User

Fitness Modes—Walk Fitness and Jog Fitness

The Fitness modes provide the most appropriate music playback for optimal

aerobic exercise. In that sense, they are similar to the Free Workout mode.

However, they go much further, monitoring your heart rate and providing

sophisticated ways of changing the music to give you a perfectly programmed,

optimal aerobic workout—that matches your physical condition and the

intensity of your exercise.

The built-in pulse sensor detects your heart rate as you exercise. Continuously

and in real time, the BF-1 calculates the optimal exercise pace for you, given

your physical condition—and then automatically changes the music to match

your pace and heart rate. If your exercise is too strenuous and your heart rate is

too high (higher than optimal), the BF-1 plays slower tempo music. Likewise, if

your exercise is too easy and relaxed to provide adequate exercise beneﬁts,

the BF-1 plays faster music. This ensures that you get the best possible

exercise—not too little, and not too much.

Each Fitness mode also features automatically programmed ‘warming up’ and

‘cooling down’ segments that effectively structure your exercise sessions and

help you avoid unnatural stress and fatigue.

Since the Fitness modes monitor your heart rate, you will need to properly

attach the pulse sensor. (For instructions, see page 20.) You will also need to

make sure other settings have been made, such as your actual age and resting

heart rate (page 71).

There are two Fitness modes: Walk Fitness and Jog Fitness. Essentially, they

function and operate exactly the same, except that Walk Fitness is speciﬁcally

programmed for walking, while Jog Fitness is designed for the more strenuous

and intense exercise you get while jogging. (However, slow tempo songs

matched for walking may sometimes be played if your heart rate goes higher

than optimal condition.)

To call up the Walk Fitness or Jog Fitness mode:

Select “Walk Fitness” or “Jog Fitness” from the Top Menu.

Exercising with the Fitness modes

The Fitness modes monitor your heart rate and take into account your maximum

heart rate and resting heart rate to automatically program an optimal workout for

you, changing the music to ﬁt your condition and the intensity of the exercise.

Before exercising, make sure that you’ve properly entered your birthday and

resting heart rate (page 71).

1 From the Top Menu, select the mode depending on the type of

exercise you’ll be doing: Walk Fitness (walking) or Jog Fitness

(jogging).

2 Make sure the pulse sensor is properly attached (page 20).

When it is properly attached, the LED will start ﬂashing in time with your heart

rate.

3 From the Walk Fitness or Jog Fitness menu, select “Start,” then

start your exercise with the tempo of the song that plays.

You can set the goal setting (targets for your exercise) and/or select a speciﬁc

music playlist for the session. If you want to do so, select “Setting” here and

go to page 27 (Goal Setting and Music Selection).

Once you set the goal setting, it will be shown in the “Start” menu the next time

you use the device, enabling you to continue with the same exercise settings

as before.

WARNING

In the Fitness modes, the device monitors your heart rate and provides a song at the

optimum tempo. However, if you ﬁnd it too strenuous to match your pace to the song,

do not force yourself to keep pace. Lower the pace accordingly (page 44) or stop the

exercise.

If the pulse sensor is not attached properly or accidentally slips off, a “Measurement Error!”

message appears. Reattach the pulse sensor properly and continue your exercise session.

When starting the exercise, a Warming Up segment of two minutes (for Walk Fitness) or three

minutes (Jog Fitness) is inserted. You can change the pace during Warming Up manually if it

seems too slow or too fast (page 44).

For audio song playback, the song tempo which is analyzed by the BODiBEAT Station software

may differ from the actual tempo depending on the song characteristics. In this case, you can

manually correct the tempo information with the BODiBEAT Station. For details, refer to the

BODiBEAT Station Owner’s Manual.

When the Tempo Guide function (page 62) is set to on, the guide sounds if your walking/jogging

pace deviates from the tempo of a song.

What is ‘Effective’ Aerobic Exercise?

Aerobic exercise, such as walking and jogging, builds up your

cardiopulmonary functions and increases your stamina. Since

stamina is a good measure of physical age, regular and continuous

aerobic exercise can make your body more youthful.

Aerobic exercise is also very effective for losing weight. Oxygen brought into

body breaks down and burns off fat. Moreover, as your exercising builds muscle

mass and increases basal metabolism, your whole body and constitution loses

more and more fat.

To achieve the maximum beneﬁts of aerobic exercise, you should avoid merely

jogging in any haphazard fashion, but be careful to set appropriate exercise

intensity levels (i.e., the pace for walking/jogging) and exercise lengths.

Exercise intensity and heart rate

As you exercise, your heart rate rises. Since intense exercise increases your

heart rate more signiﬁcantly than light exercise, heart rate is a reliable indicator

for exercise intensity. To achieve the desired effect of your exercise, it is

important that you determine the target heart rate in advance and try to bring

your heart rate up to this target during exercise.

How can you determine the proper target heart rate? There are various methods

for calculating heart rate, but the BF-1 adopts a method using %HRR

(percentage of heart rate reserve). The %HRR ﬁgure assumes your resting heart

rate as 0% and your maximum heart rate (heart rate during your most intense

exercise) as 100%. For walking, a %HRR ﬁgure of 55 – 75% is optimal for aerobic

exercise. For jogging, 65 – 75% is optimal. For the speciﬁc formula used to

calculate your optimum target heart rate, see page 38.

The BF-1 calculates your heart rate according to the blood ﬂow at your ear lobe detected by the

included pulse sensor.

Using the Fitness modes, you can maintain the optimal heart rate during exercise

without the need to be continually conscious of your heart rate, simply by

entering your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate ﬁgures in advance.

When your heart rate dips below the optimal level, faster songs are played to

naturally prompt you to increase your pace; likewise, when your heart rate

exceeds the optimal level, slower songs are played to prompt you to decrease

your pace. Thanks to this feature, you simply match your walking/jogging pace to

the tempo of the music, and your optimal heart rate is maintained (refer to the

graph below). You can also easily check whether your heart rate is optimal or not

from the LED. When it is optimal (%HRR is 55 – 75%), it ﬂashes in green. When

lower than optimal, it ﬂashes in blue. When higher than optimal, it ﬂashes in red.

Exercise length

For best results, one exercise session should be at least ﬁfteen minutes. Twenty

minutes or more is recommended, because as long as you exercise, the

proportion of fat-burning increases and remains high. When you are walking,

more time is required for this than when jogging—roughly 30 – 40 minutes—

because your heart rate increases more slowly than when jogging.

Warming up and cooling down

Warming up and cooling down is necessary not only for effective exercise but

also for protection from injury and proper recovery from fatigue. Generally,

bending and stretching, as well as minimum-stress exercises are good for

warming up and cooling down. The Fitness modes of the BF-1 actually include

warming up and cooling down segments to guide you naturally into lighter

exercising. At the beginning of the exercise and at the end of the exercise, slower

songs are automatically played back. Simply match your pace to the music

playing, and you can warm up and cool down appropriately.

For safe exercise

Pay careful attention to the environment around you to avoid accidents.

• Exercise in locations of light or minimal trafﬁc, such as a park or a jogging path.

• Exercise in broad daylight if possible. Exercising at dusk or after the sun goes

down—or worse yet, at night—you may not be able to properly see dangerous

obstacles, and other people or drivers may not be able to see you.

• When jogging, pay more attention to your environment than when walking. The

faster you are moving, the greater the danger.

Exercising According to a Training Program—Training

Mode

In the Training mode, you can create more detailed structured exercise

sessions and make custom programs to ﬁt your individual exercise needs.

Preset Training programs are also available for certain exercise situations or

goals. You can use these as a starting point. (You may want to inspect these

programs within the included software, to more easily view the contents and the

targets over the programmed exercise).

Each program in the Training mode contains several segments, each lasting for

a speciﬁc amount of time or for a speciﬁc distance. Each segment also has a

different target. This can be a certain intensity of exercise (as measured by

heart rate reserve), a speciﬁc music tempo, a speciﬁc heart rate, or a speciﬁc

pace (as measured by minutes: seconds per mile). Simply put, a Training

program divides an exercise session into multiple parts, each programmed

exactly to suit your exercise needs or ﬁt a speciﬁc athletic training application.

You can create your own Training programs, and the included software gives

you the tools to most easily and intuitively do this. Creating your own custom

Training programs gives you enormous ﬂexibility and control over your exercise

sessions. When used correctly, it’s almost like having a professional athletic

coach by your side, telling you not only when to speed up and when to slow

down, but exactly how much you should speed up or slow down—all the while

playing your favorite music to keep you on program.

To call up the Training mode:

Select “Training” from the Top Menu.

Exercising with preset programs

The BF-1 comes with specially programmed preset Training programs built into

the unit. These are designed for a variety of speciﬁc exercise situations or goals.

The BF-1 also lets you create your own Training programs (see page 37), and you can use the

preset programs here as starting points or templates in making your own (see page 39).

1 Select the desired program from the Training menu.

A list of programs is provided on page 81. You can also view the programmed

content of the presets within the included software, making it easier to see and

understand the segments and the intervals/targets for the exercise.

2 Make sure the pulse sensor is properly attached (page 20).

When it is properly attached, the LED will start ﬂashing in time with your heart

rate.

3 From the menu, select “Start,” then start running or walking with

the tempo of the song that plays.

As you exercise, the program number and the segment number is shown at

the top of the display. A song of the appropriate tempo is automatically

selected from all songs currently on the BF-1.

If you want to specify a certain Playlist for song selection, select “View/Edit” here, and then

select “OK” at the bottom. The Select Music display appears.

WARNING

In the Training mode, the device plays back songs that follow the pace of the program,

and naturally you should try to match this pace. However, if you ﬁnd the pace too

strenuous, do not force yourself to keep pace. Lower the pace accordingly (page 44) or

stop the exercise.

If the pulse sensor is not attached properly or if your heart rate cannot be detected (that is,

when the LED is off), heart rate is not memorized in the exercise log (page 29). Also, a

“Measurement Error!” message appears in the training program with the target of “HR” or

“%HRR” (page 37). Reattach the pulse sensor properly and make sure your pulse is being

measured.

When the Tempo Guide function (page 62) is set to on, the guide sounds if your walking/jogging

pace deviates from the tempo of a song.

For audio song playback, the song tempo which is analyzed by the BODiBEAT Station software

may differ from the actual tempo depending on the song characteristics. In this case, you can

manually correct the tempo information with the BODiBEAT Station. For details, refer to the

BODiBEAT Station Owner’s Manual.

4 While you’re running or walking, you can change the volume of the

music and select different songs.

You can also lock the pace or change it to a different tempo. (See “Operation

During Exercise” on page 42.)

mode are the same as in the Free Workout mode. (See page 29.)

Creating a new program

You can create your own Training program from scratch, entering the desired

Interval and Target for each segment in your custom exercise program.

Up to 99 programs can be saved in the BF-1. One program can contain up to 99 intervals.

1 Select “New” from the Training menu.

2 Set the units you want to use for Interval and Target in the segment.

For example, if you want to jog for 3 minutes in a segment and you want to jog

at a pace of one mile every 5-1/2 minutes, select “Time” in the Interval

parameter and “Pace” in the Target parameter.

Interval

Available settings:

Time, Distance

Target

Available settings:

Pace (minutes: seconds per mile), Tempo (bpm), HR (Heart Rate; bpm), %HRR

About heart rate reserve

Heart rate reserve (HRR) is a term used to describe the difference

between a person’s resting heart rate (HR

rest

) and maximum heart rate

(HR

max

). The formula is:

HRR = HR

max

– HR

rest

The BF-1 actually measures and calculates the percentage of heart rate

reserve (%HRR) and uses this as a measurement of exercise intensity.

By using %HRR as the exercise intensity, the optimal heart rate (HR) in

exercising is calculated. The formula is:

HR = HRR x %HRR + HR

rest

For example, if your HR

max

is 180 bpm, HR

rest

is 60 bpm and target

%HRR is 70%, the HR is calculated as:

HR = (180 – 60) x 0.7 + 60 = 144

After the Interval and Target setting is ﬁnished, the following display appears.

When you select “Tempo” for the Target, “T” is appended to the value. When you select “HR” for

the Target, “H” is appended to the value. (For example, “01.0mi-T170bpm” stands for “one mile

at a tempo of 170 bpm.”)

3 Set the desired values for Interval and Target, and then

simultaneously press the ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to actually enter

them for the segment.

The segment is entered and operation returns to the previous display.

4 Select “Add Segment” to enter the next segment.

5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 above as needed to create all the desired

segments for your program.

6 After you’ve created all the segments for the program, select “OK”

in the display.

The Select Music display appears.

When there are no Playlists or the Music Priority parameter (page 61) is set to “BODiBEAT

Operation During Exercise

At any time during your exercise session (in Free Workout, Walk Fitness, Jog

Fitness or Training modes), you can change various settings.

■ Pausing the exercise

This function lets you temporarily pause the operation of the BF-1 (for

example, if you need to brieﬂy stop your exercise session). Music

playback is stopped and your heart rate and pace are not monitored while

pause is active.

Press (but do not hold) the ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons simultaneously. This

pauses the music and exercise session. Press them again to restart the

music and exercise.

■ Stopping the exercise

1 Press the [MENU] button once to call up the Select Song display.

2 Simultaneously press both the ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to stop the

exercise and call up the log display.

You can also stop the exercise session by holding both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons together.

In the Fitness modes, the “cooling down” segment starts about three minutes before the session

is stopped (page 32).

■ Changing music playback volume

Use the ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to call up the Volume display and change

the volume while the music is playing.

After two seconds, the Volume display automatically closes and returns to

the previous display. You can also close the Volume display manually

(before the two seconds are up) by pressing the [MENU] button.

■ Changing songs

This lets you select other songs having roughly the same tempo as the

song currently playing or jump back to the beginning of the current song.

1 Press the [MENU] button once to call up the Select Song display.

2 Press the ▼ (Down) button to select the next song as desired.

Pressing the ▲ (Up) button returns to the top (beginning) of the

current song.

Pressing the ▼ (Down) button skips to the next or previous song (in the current

Playlist or among all songs) that has roughly the same tempo as the currently

active exercise tempo. Songs that do not match the current tempo will be

skipped over.

To better understand this, consider the example song Playlist below:

If your exercise pace is about 140 bpm in this situation, a song having a

tempo of about 140 bpm will be played back. When Song 1 is played back, for

example, you can skip to Song 3 or Song 4 by using the ▼ (Down) button.

Songs 2 and 5 cannot be selected in this way, since they differ too greatly from

the current tempo.

After ten seconds, the Select Song display automatically closes and returns to

the previous display. You can also close the Select Song display manually

(before the ten seconds are up) by pressing the [MENU] button three times.

(Pressing it once calls up the Pace display. Pressing it twice calls up the

Change Disp. display. Pressing it again calls up the normal display.)

When the Learning Function (page 74) is on, the skip/top count is memorized. When you skip a

song, the BF-1 memorizes this action, assuming that the song is one that you don’t like, and

accordingly lowers the playback priority of the song. If you rewind (go back to the top of) the

song, the song is memorized as a favorite and according raises the playback priority.

Managing the Exercise Logs

Each time you exercise with the BF-1, a new exercise log is automatically

generated, creating a record of important information about your exercise

session and your physical conditions. This information includes the date and

time of your session, the distance covered, the average pace of your walking/

jogging, the amount of calories you expended, and your maximum heart rate

(the highest recorded pulse during the session). The logs also provide two

different graphs: one showing the changes in your pace during the session, the

other showing changes in your heart rate during the same time.

Since your exercise logs are automatically stored to internal memory (up to 99

sessions), you can call up these logs and check your past exercise sessions.

This feature also lets you view cumulative data—for example, how much total

distance you walked or ran in a speciﬁc week, or how many calories you

expended during a speciﬁc month.

The BF-1 has memory space for up to 99 exercise session logs. When you exceed this number, the

earliest ones will automatically be deleted to make room for the new logs. By using the included

software to transfer your data to computer, you can store all your exercise logs and not need to

worry about the 99-log limit.

From the Top Menu, select “Data.”

Checking the Exercise Logs

1 From the Data menu, select the desired category: Workouts, Days,

Weeks or Months.

When selecting Workouts, you can view individual exercise session logs.

When selecting Days, you can view the cumulative data for a day. When

selecting Weeks or Months, you can view the cumulative data for a week or

month, respectively.

Loading Music Data to the BF-1

By loading your favorite songs to the BF-1, you can listen to them when you

exercise or play them back in the Music Playback mode.

First, to load songs, you will need to use the included BODiBEAT Station

software. Second, import the desired songs to the software from the computer’s

hard disk, then create playlists on the software if necessary. Finally, transfer the

songs/playlists from the computer to the device.

1 Activate the BODiBEAT Station

2 Import the songs to the BODiBEAT Station

Drag the ﬁle(s) or folder(s) into the BODiBEAT Station window.

3 Transfer the songs to the BF-1

Connect the BF-1 to the computer. This synchronizes the device and the

computer, and transfers the song data on the computer to the device.

For details about the procedure, refer to the owner’s manual of the software.

The BODiBEAT Station cannot directly import the song data from a music CD. You will need to

import songs from the CD to your computer in advance, using a CD ripping software, such as

Windows Media Player.

The data transfer will take a long time (up to one-quarter of the song length) since the song’s tempo

characteristics are thoroughly checked and analyzed automatically in real time. The transfer time

may differ depending on your particular computer.

Mix

Audio songs and BODiBEAT songs are mixed in a 50/50 ratio.

BODiBEAT Songs

Only the pre-loaded BODiBEAT songs are played. (Audio songs are not selected.)

About the BODiBEAT songs

The BF-1 contains many short phrases of speciﬁc song parts—for

example, rhythm parts, melody parts, bass parts, and so on. The built-

in BODiBEAT Mixer chooses some of these randomly and mixes them,

giving you literally hundreds of thousands of songs suitable for your

exercise sessions.

■ Tempo Guide

This lets you turn on the sound of the Tempo Guide. (Tempo Guide is a

sound that clicks for each beat, to help you “feel” the tempo of the song.)

When you turn the Tempo Guide function on, the sound will come on only

when your pace deviates from the basic tempo of the song. A sub menu in

this setting lets you select the type of sound used for the Tempo Guide.

Tempo Guide is only available in the Fitness or Training modes.

■ Half Tempo

This allows you to broaden the tempo criteria for songs to include songs

that are at half the current tempo. For example, if the current pace is 160

bpm, you can set Half Tempo to On, and songs at 80 bpm will be included

along with songs at 160 bpm. In other words, songs that are exactly twice

as slow as the current pace will play back. Since the pace is mathemati-

cally half, you can continue jogging/walking at the current pace and still

stay in time with the music. This lets you program relaxing, slow-paced

music for your exercising, and yet maintain a fast-paced exercise.

When Half Tempo is set to Off, only music at the selected tempo will play

back.

Half Tempo is available only for the audio songs and only when using the Free Workout mode.

From the Workout Music menu, select the Half Tempo parameter.

Available settings:

Off, On

■ Song Transition

Song playback on the BF-1 is basically continuous. One song follows

another virtually without pause in order that your exercise continues

undisturbed. The Song Transition function lets you determine how the BF-1

connects consecutive songs with a special connective phrase.

The Song Transition setting is in effect just before the audio song is played. (Before a BODiBEAT

song is played, no connective phrase is added.)

From the Workout Music menu, select the Song Transition

parameter.

Available settings:

Transition 1

A connective phrase is added between successive songs, with the previous song

fading out (only when the previous song is an audio song), followed by the connective

phrase and then playback of the next song.

Transition 2

A connective phrase is added between successive songs, to smoothly sequence

between them.

shorter. In the Free Workout mode, it takes less time to start playback of a

song which matches to your exercise pace. Selecting “Low” makes the

detecting time of the exercise pace longer. It takes more time to start playback

of a song which matches to your exercise pace.

■ Pace Sensor

This allows you to tailor the response of the BF-1 to changes in your

walking/jogging speed. In the Free Workout mode, the BF-1 recognizes

that you intend to change the pace when you speed up or slow down the

pace greater than a certain range.

The setting here only applies to the Free Workout mode.

From the Sensors menu, select the Pace Sensor parameter.

Available settings:

High Sensitivity, Normal Sensitivity, Low Sensitivity

“Normal” is the default setting and should be ﬁne for most people and

➤ Check your heart rate (pulse) and register your resting and maximum heart

rates. (See “Heart Rate” below.)

➤ Specify the length of your walking and jogging stride. (See “Stride” on

page 73.)

➤ Specify your weight and height. (See “Weight/Height” on page 73.)

➤ Specify your age and gender. (See “Birthday/Sex” on page 74.)

➤ Enable the Learning function of the BF-1. (See “Learning Function” on

From the Top Menu, select Settings ➞ User Settings.

Heart Rate

These parameters let you check your heart rate (pulse) and register your resting

and maximum heart rates. Make sure the two readings are as accurate as

possible. These maximum and resting heart rates are used in the Fitness and

Training modes to tailor the music and pace to your true physical condition.

■ Checking your resting heart rate and registering it

It is important for exercise and training purposes that you accurately

measure your resting heart rate. The best time to measure it is in the

morning, after a good night’s sleep, and before you get out of bed. The

heart beats about 50 to 70 times a minute when we’re at rest and it’s

generally lower in physically ﬁt people. As you exercise and train with the

BF-1, you may want to regularly check your resting heart rate and change

it when necessary.

1 From the User Settings menu, select the Heart Rate settings.

2 Make sure the pulse sensor is securely attached to your ear lobe

(see page 20).

Also, make sure you are truly resting, relaxed, and not following some strenuous

activity.

3 Select “Check Heart Rate” in the Heart Rate settings menu.

Once your heart rate is measured, it is shown in the display.

The level indicator is shown at the bottom of the display. This indicates the

detected level of your pulse over a range of 0 – 100. The higher value means

your heart rate is correctly and strongly detected. If it seems that your pulse is

not detected properly, try rubbing your ear robe to stimulate blood circulation

or changing the pulse sensor location.

4 To register the value as your Resting Heart Rate, ﬁrst call up the

“Register as Resting HR” display by simultaneously pressing both

▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons.

5 Select “Yes” to register the new value or “No” to cancel.

■ Changing the Heart Rate values

You can also change the Resting Heart Rate setting, by entering it

manually instead of measuring it. The Maximum Heart Rate setting can be

changed here as well.

About Maximum Heart Rate

The Maximum Heart Rate is calculated from your age (220 – age) by

default. However, as you exercise with the BF-1 in Fitness modes or

Training mode, the BF-1 monitors your pace and heart rate during

exercise and calculates your maximum heart rate. If the value differs

from your Maximum Heart Rate setting, you can update the setting with

the new value. For your information, your physical age based on the

maximum heart rate will be displayed together with the maximum heart

rate. When an exercise session is ﬁnished, a conﬁrmation prompt

appears asking whether you want to update the Maximum Heart Rate

setting or not (only when the Learning Function is on; page 74).

Rate.

If you try to set a Resting Heart Rate value that is higher than the Maximum Heart Rate value,

the two values will automatically be set to the same number.

Stride

This setting lets you enter your personal stride length. Measure your stride as

accurately as you can for both walking and jogging and specify the two values

here. These are used for calculating the distance and pace you walk or jog in a

session (distance = steps x strides, pace = time / distance). When you specify

your height, the stride length is automatically calculated (“height x 0.8” for

jogging, “height x 0.5” for walking), so that you would normally not have to

change this setting.

1 From the User Settings menu, select the Stride settings.

2 After measuring your actual walking and jogging strides, enter the

appropriate value for each activity.

The units of measurement used here depend on the settings made in the Measurement

parameter (page 69).

Weight/Height

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

accurately as possible. The weight setting is used to calculate the number of

calories you expend or burn during your exercise. The expended calorie value

shown when your exercise is ﬁnished is calculated based on the weight input

here. The height setting is used to calculate the distance you walked or jogged.

The distance value shown when your exercise is ﬁnished is calculated based

on the height input here.

1 From the User Settings menu, select the Weight/Height settings.

2 After measuring your actual weight and height, enter the

appropriate value for each.

Birthday/Sex

This setting lets you enter your age and sex. Your gender has no bearing on the

functions of the BF-1, but your age is used for calculating the default maximum

heart rate (according to the formula 220 – your age) which is automatically

displayed in the Heart Rate setting menu.

1 From the User Settings menu, select the Birthday/Sex settings.

2 Enter the appropriate information for each.

The date format used for the Birthday setting depends on the setting made in the Date/Time

settings (page 70).

Learning Function

The BF-1 memorizes the skip/top count and analyzes the playback priority for

each song. It also memorizes your manual pace change and calculates your

optimal pace and maximum heart rate in the Fitness modes and Training mode.

These features are together called the Learning function.

When you change songs while exercising, the BF-1 memorizes the skip/top

count—in other words, the number of times you skip over certain songs or go

back to the top of certain songs—and determines the playback priority of the

song. If a song has a high skip count (meaning you often skip it and go on to

another song), it is given a lower playback priority. If a song has a high top

count (meaning you often rewind back to the top of the song), it is given a

higher playback priority.

When you change the pace manually while exercising, the BF-1 memorizes the

pace changes and your heart rate and calculates your optimal starting pace,

fastest pace and maximum heart rate. If the calculated maximum heart rate

differs from the maximum heart rate setting you set before, you can manually

If you change your pace manually or change songs while exercising, a

conﬁrmation message will appear when the workout reaches its end to prompt

you to memorize the changed information. Select “Yes” to memorize.

The playback priority is memorized for each exercise segment: warm up, during exercise, and cool

down.

Information

You can check the version of your BF-1.

From the Top Menu, select Settings ➞ Information.

The model name and the version information are displayed.

Initialize

This operation restores the factory default settings of the BF-1. Keep in mind

that it automatically replaces any settings you’ve made yourself with the original

settings that were on the device when you purchased it. It clears all data from

the BF-1—including your exercise logs, user songs and any personal

information—and performs a complete factory reset. Be careful not to use this

function unless you are sure you want to erase your custom settings and data.

Do not confuse this operation with pressing the [RESET] switch (page 11).

Pressing the [RESET] switch only recovers the BF-1 (for example, to turn the

device on again if normal operation “freezes”) and leaves your exercise logs,

songs and all other data intact.

CAUTION

Before initializing, transfer any important data (exercise log and/or training program) to

the BODiBEAT Station software.

1 From the Top Menu, select Settings ➞ Initialize.

A prompt message appears in the display.

2 Select “Yes” to execute the Initialize operation, or select “No” to

cancel.

When the initialization is complete, the BF-1 will be restarted.

■ The sound is not heard from the earphones, or is only heard

from one ear.

• Make sure that the earphone connector is ﬁrmly connected to the device

(page 17).

• Make sure that the volume is not set to minimum (pages 42 and 58).

■ The LED doesn’t ﬂash even if I attach the pulse sensor.

• The LED ﬂashes only during an exercise session in the Free Workout, Walk

Fitness, Jog Fitness or Training modes, or when the Checking HR display is

shown (page 72). In all other situations, the LED is off.

■ My heart rate cannot be detected.

• Make sure to ﬁrmly connect the earphone connector to the device.

• Gently rub or massage your ear to stimulate blood circulation.

•Try changing the pulse sensor location.

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

• Wipe the lens of the pulse sensor with a soft and dry cloth. If dirt, oil or sweat

adheres to the lens of the pulse sensor, your pulse may not be detected

properly.

■ The song doesn’t change even when I speed up or slow down

the pace.

• Adjust the Pace Sensor and/or Step Sensor settings (page 67).

■ The songs change frequently even when I maintain a steady

exercise pace.

• Fasten the armband to your arm more tightly to prevent the motion sensor

from malfunctioning.

• Adjust the Pace Sensor and/or Step Sensor settings (page 67).

■ A click sound continues to sound during exercise

• When the Tempo Guide function (page 62) is set to on, a click guide sounds

at the song tempo if your walking/jogging pace deviates from the tempo. To

stop the click, turn the Tempo Guide function off.

■ The device becomes hot during charging.

• Some heat during charging is normal. However, if the device becomes

extremely hot, some malfunction may have occurred. Have the device

inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

■ Power cannot be turned off while charging the battery with the

USB AC power adaptor.

• This is normal. The BF-1 is always on during battery charging, for power

control purposes, when connected with the optional USB AC power adaptor.

■ It takes a certain amount of time to start up and/or shut down.

• This is normal and indicates that the device is analyzing the music data and/

or exercise log data. (Depending on the data size, this may take a few

minutes.)

■ One song (or a few songs) is repeatedly played while

exercising.

• There are few songs which match in tempo to your exercise pace in the BF-

1. Make sure to load more songs of the appropriate tempo from your

computer or set the Music Priority setting to “Mix” or “BODiBEAT Songs”

(page 61).

■ Only the BODiBEAT songs are played back and songs I've

loaded from my computer are not played back.

• Set the Music Priority setting to “User Songs” or “Mix” (page 61). Even if

you’ve selected “User Songs” or “Mix”, playback may be limited to

BODiBEAT songs when there are no songs which match the tempo of your

exercise pace. Make sure to load songs of the appropriate tempo from your

computer.

■ After connecting with the computer, some information is

changed (Training Programs, User Settings, etc.)

• Depending on the synchronize setting of BODiBEAT Station, the data on the

BODiBEAT Station will automatically transferred to the BF-1 and the

information on the BF-1 will be replaced when you connect the BF-1 to the

computer. For more information, refer to the BODiBEAT Station Owner’s

Manual.

■ In the Training mode, I set the appropriate target as “Pace” but

the played song’s tempo seems to be different from the set

pace.

• The pace is determined based on the jog stride setting. If the stride setting

differs from your actual stride, the tempo of the song playing back while

exercising may be too fast or too slow. Change the stride setting (page 73).

■ The distance of the exercise logs seems to be wrong.

• The distance you walk or jog is calculated based on your stride setting

(page 73). Entering the exact value for your walking/jogging stride may

bring the calculated distance closer to the actual value.

■ The time of the exercise logs seem to be wrong.

• The clock of the BF-1 may go wrong or stop if you don’t use the BF-1 for a

long period or you don’t adjust the time for a long period. To avoid this

situation, check the Date/Time setting frequently (page 70).

■ A “Memory Full” message appears during creating/editing the

training program and a new program/segment cannot be

created.

• The number of programs/segments that can be saved to the BF-1 is limited

(refer to page 37). If a “Memory Full” message appears, save all programs

within the BODiBEAT Station software to your computer and delete them

from the BF-1. Then, load only the ones you need from the computer to the

device just before exercising.
