During the first minute, measurements are taken every second, then for the next 4 minutes every 5 seconds. If
no heart rate signal has been received during the first five minutes, the search for a heart rate signal will end.
After this process, the user can manually activate the heart rate measurement by pressing the [+] button in the
HRM main mode.
NOTE: Pressing the [+] button during the first 5 minutes in the heart rate mode, will stop the search for a heart
rate signal. To reactivate the measurement, press the [+] button again.
