While one of the exercise modes is active and the pulse sensor is properly
attached (page 20), this flashes in time with your heart rate. If your heart rate is
fast (or the exercise intensity is too strenuous—i.e., the %HRR is more than
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.

Walking/Jogging at Your Own Pace—Free Workout
Mode
In the Free Workout mode, the BF-11 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:

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.
n
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.
n
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.

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-11 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-11 plays slower tempo music. Likewise, if
your exercise is too easy and relaxed to provide adequate exercise benefits,
the BF-11 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.
n
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.
n
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).
n
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.
h
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.

down segment begins automatically. After about three minutes passes and the
cooling down segment reaches its end, music playback stops and the log
display appears.
n
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.

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-11 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.
n
The BF-11 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-11 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-11 comes with specially programmed preset Training programs built into
the unit. These are designed for a variety of specific exercise situations or goals.
h
The BF-11 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-11.
h
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.
n
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.
h
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.
n
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

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-11 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.
n
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”

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

Managing the Exercise Logs
Each time you exercise with the BF-11, 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.

temperature conditions of between 0° to 35°C (32° to 95°F). Recharging the battery in high
temperatures may result in fire or an explosion.
CAUTION
Do not connect the BF-11 to the computer when the computer is in the power-saving mode
(such as suspended, sleep, standby) and do not turn the computer to the power-saving mode
when the BF-11 is connected. Doing so risks freezing the BF-11 and losing data, or depleting
the power of the BF-11.
Always use the included USB cable. Using an improper cable may cause damage to the USB
terminal.

Loading Music Data to the BF-11
By loading your favorite songs to the BF-11, 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-11
Connect the BF-11 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.
n
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.
n
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.

About the BODiBEAT songs
The BF-11 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

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.

User Settings
The User Settings contain a variety of settings for use with the Training, Fitness
and Free Workout features of the BF-11. These allow you to:
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-11. (See “Learning Function” on
page 74.)
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-11, 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-11 in Fitness modes or
Training mode, the BF-11 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).

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.
n
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.

Birthday/Sex
This setting lets you enter your age and sex. Your gender has no bearing on the
functions of the BF-11, 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.

Learning Function
The BF-11 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-11 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-11 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 register the new value to the BF-11.
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.
n
The playback priority is memorized for each exercise segment: warm up, during exercise, and cool
down.

Initialize
This operation restores the factory default settings of the BF-11. 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-11—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-11 (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-11 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-11 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-
11. 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-11 and the
information on the BF-11 will be replaced when you connect the BF-11 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-11 may go wrong or stop if you don’t use the BF-11 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-11 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-11. Then, load only the ones you need from the computer to the
device just before exercising.

Troubleshooting Menu Tree Index BF-11 Owner’s Manual 29 Fitness Modes—Walk Fitness and Jog Fitness 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-11 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-11 plays slower tempo music. Likewise, if your exercise is too easy and relaxed to provide adequate exercise benefits, the BF-11 plays faster music. This ensures that you get the best possible exercise—not too little, and not too much. Starting Up Exercising Computer Music Player Settings 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. Troubleshooting Menu Tree Index BF-11 Owner’s Manual 30 Fitness Modes—Walk Fitness and Jog Fitness 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). Starting Up Exercising Computer Operation 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). Music Player Settings 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. n 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. n 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). n 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. h Troubleshooting 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.

Troubleshooting Menu Tree Index BF-11 Owner’s Manual 32 Fitness Modes—Walk Fitness and Jog Fitness Starting Up FY I 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. Exercising Computer 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. Music Player Settings 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-11 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. n The BF-11 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. Continue to next page Troubleshooting Menu Tree Index BF-11 Owner’s Manual 33 Fitness Modes—Walk Fitness and Jog Fitness %HRR Starting Up When your heart rate exceeds the optimal level, slower songs are played 75% Exercising 55% Heart rate Computer When your heart rate dips below the optimal level, faster songs are played Exercise length Warming up Cooling down Music Player 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. Settings 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-11 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.

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. Starting Up Exercising Computer Music Player Settings 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.

The formula is: Exercising HRR = HRmax – HRrest Computer The BF-11 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: Music Player Settings HR = HRR x %HRR + HRrest For example, if your HRmax is 180 bpm, HRrest 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. Interval Target n 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.

Settings ■ Stopping the exercise Operation 1 Press the [MENU/BACK] 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. h You can also stop the exercise session by holding both ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons together. n In the Fitness modes, the “cooling down” segment starts about three minutes before the session is stopped (page 32). ■ Changing music playback volume Operation Use the ▲/▼ (Up/Down) buttons to call up the Volume display and change the volume while the music is playing. Troubleshooting 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/BACK] button. BF-11 Owner’s Manual Menu Tree Index 42 Operation During Exercise ■ 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. Operation Starting Up Exercising 1 Press the [MENU/BACK] button once to call up the Select Song display. Computer Music Player 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. Settings 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: Song 1 140 bpm Song 2 120 bpm Song 3 142 bpm Song 4 138 bpm Song 5 150 bpm 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/BACK] 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.) n When the Learning Function (page 74) is on, the skip/top count is memorized. When you skip a song, the BF-11 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. Troubleshooting Menu Tree Index BF-11 Owner’s Manual 43 Operation During Exercise ■ Locking the pace This function lets you maintain the current tempo indefinitely.

These allow you to: Exercising ➤ 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-11. (See “Learning Function” on page 74.) Computer Music Player Settings 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-11, you may want to regularly check your resting heart rate and change it when necessary. Operation 1 From the User Settings menu, select the Heart Rate settings. 2 Make sure the pulse sensor is securely attached to your ear lobe Troubleshooting (see page 20). Also, make sure you are truly resting, relaxed, and not following some strenuous activity. Continue to next page BF-11 Owner’s Manual Menu Tree Index 71 User Settings 3 Select “Check Heart Rate” in the Heart Rate settings menu. Starting Up Once your heart rate is measured, it is shown in the display. Exercising 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 Computer Music Player Settings “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. FYI About Maximum Heart Rate The Maximum Heart Rate is calculated from your age (220 – age) by default. However, as you exercise with the BF-11 in Fitness modes or Training mode, the BF-11 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). Troubleshooting Continue to next page Menu Tree Index BF-11 Owner’s Manual 72 User Settings Operation 1 From the User Settings menu, select the Heart Rate settings. 2 Select “Change Heart Rate” in the Heart Rate settings menu. 3 Enter the desired values for Resting Heart Rate and Maximum Heart Rate. n Starting Up Exercising Computer 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. Music Player 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.

Music Player n The date format used for the Birthday setting depends on the setting made in the Date/Time settings (page 70). Settings Learning Function The BF-11 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-11 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-11 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 register the new value to the BF-11. 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. n The playback priority is memorized for each exercise segment: warm up, during exercise, and cool down.
