Users should pass a full medical examination before they begin an exercise program. If you feel any pain or discomfort, stop exercising immediately and consult your doctor. Verify that all of the parts are attached and that the nuts, bolts, pedals and bar are correctly tightened before use. [. . . ] 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. 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 may 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 may 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. Your hands must be placed on the pulse sensors (R) when using these programs. ­ Within the work margin, this indicates that the speed is too high and you should slow down. ­ Within the work margin, this indicates that the speed is too low and you should speed up. ------- This indicates that the watts being produced are outside the work limit (either too high or too low) so you should speed up or slow down accordingly. If the situation continues for more than three minutes, the monitor will give six beeps and then switch itself off, resetting the watt value back to zero. HAND-GRIP PULSE MEASUREMENT 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 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 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 at the end of this manual). 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. [. . . ] If there are other transmissions close to you crosstalk may appear, unless you are using the coded Products Polar products. d) Pacemaker and other implanted devices may change the electrical characteristics and operation of heart so that transmitter detects several beats instead of one beat. e) Some people have a reversed ECG signal compared to normal a ECG signal possibly causing a transmitter to send two pulses for each heart beat. Electrical equipment such as monitors, motors, LED displays, transformers switches, cellular phones and etc. [. . . ]
