display. Select your age using the ▲/▼ keys
and press ENTER. After entering your age you
should select the target heart rate for your
exercise. Use the ▲/▼ keys to select the
desired option (55%, 75% 90% or THR) and
press the ENTER key. The first three represent
the percentage with respect to maximum heart
rate (220-age) and the fourth is used to specify
the target heart rate manually. In the first three
cases, the lower window on the display
(TARGET H.R) will show you the calculated
value for your maximum heart rate level. If you
choose THR then you should use the ▲/▼ keys
to select the desired heart rate and then press
ENTER. Press START / STOP to start the
exercise. The exertion level will adjust
automatically in accordance with the selected
hart rate value. If the pulse rate is below the
target value then the exertion setting will
increase by one level every 30 seconds until it
reaches the maximum 16. If the pulse rate is
above the target value the monitor will give out
warning beeps and reduce the exertion settings
by one level every 15 seconds until it reaches
the minimum 1. If the pulse rate still stays above
the target value for more than 30 seconds the
monitor will beep and stop in order to protect the
user.
To program time, distance, calories and/or pulse
rate, go through the following procedure: Once
the heart rate program has been selected and
before pressing the START / STOP key, press
the ENTER key to program the time limit using
the ▲/▼ keys. Press ENTER again to program
the distance. Press the ENTER key one last
time to program the calories. Press START /
STOP to start the exercise.
Your hands must be placed on the pulse
sensors (R) when using these programs.
HAND-GRIP PULSE MEASU-
REMENT INSTRUCTIONS - USE
PULSE Hand-grip
On this model the pulse rate is measured by
placing both hands on the sensors (R), located
on the handlebar, as shown in Figure nº 2.
When both hands are placed on the sensors the
heart symbol on the right-hand side of the
screen, marked PULSE, will begin to flash and
after a few seconds a heart rate reading will be
displayed.
If both hands are not placed correctly as shown
in figure nº 3 then the pulse function will not
work.
If a «P» appears on the screen or the heart
symbol does not flash, make sure that both
hands are placed correctly on the sensors.
TELEMETRIC PULSE RATE
The monitor is equipped to receive signals from
a telemetric pulse measurement system.
The system comprises of a receiver (D) and a
transmitter (chest band) Fig 4.
This telemetric pulse rate system takes
precedence over the Hand-grip pulse rate
system when both are used together.
See telemetric pulse rate instruction book).
TEST MEASUREMENTS:
FITNESS
This electronic device is equipped with a
recovery test function. This offers you the
advantage of being able to measure how long it
takes your heart rate to recover after having
finished the exercise. Upon finishing the
exercise leave your hands on the pulse sensors
(R) and press the «Recovery» button, this will
start a one minute countdown. Only the Time
and Pulse rate function read-outs will remain
displayed. The electronic device will measure
your pulse rate during this minute. The heart
rate recovery time will be displayed on the Heart
rate line.
If, at any time during this minute, you decide to
abandon this test then press the «Recovery»
button and this will take you back to the main
screen.
When the minute is up, the electronic device will
work out the difference and your fitness rating
will be displayed up on the screen: «F1, F2,...,
F5, F6»; where «F1» is the best (fitness
«Excellent») and «F6» the worst (fitness «Very
Poor»).
Pressing the RECOVERY button will take you
back to the main screen, where the functions
will be in the same mode as when the test
began.
The comparison between the worked heart rate
and the recovery heart rate provides a fast,
simple method of gauging how fit you are. Your
fitness rating is a guideline that shows you how
fast your heart recovers after physical exertion.
If you exercise regularly then you will see your
fitness rating improve.
The test does not work unless you have both
hands placed on the sensors (R) (Hand-grips).
In this case the message «F6» will appear on
the screen at the end of the test.
