Gobi May 2008 12:06pm, 8 May 2008 18,879 posts	0 Gobi Lums none of the above but I do use a calulator similar to MacMillan

GregP May 2008 12:13pm, 8 May 2008 810 posts	0 GregP Lower alarm set to 161, upper to 181. ~gulp~ If I don't like the pain when its been brought, can I send it back?

GregP May 2008 12:18pm, 8 May 2008 812 posts	0 GregP 181 is my HR max. Be interested to see if I get an 'upper beep'.
