HAND-GRIP (PULSE)
INSTRUCTIONS/USE
On this model the pulse rate is
measured by placing both hands on
the sensors (R), located on the
handlebar, as shown in Fig 3.
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 then the pulse
function will not work.
If a “P” appears on the screen or the
heart symbol does not flash then
make sure that both hands are placed
on the sensors and that the
connectors are connected at the back
of the electronic unit.
TELEMETRIC PULSE RATE
The monitor is equipped to receive
signals from a telemetric pulse
measurement system.
The system comprises of a receiver
and a transmitter (chest band T) Fig 4.
(Optional).
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. After finishing
the exercise leave your hands on the
pulse sensors (R) and press the
“Fitness Test” button and 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 “Test” 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, F16; where F1 is the best (fitness
“Excellent”) and F6 the worst (fitness
“Very Poor”). Pressing the TEST
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 will not work if you do not
have both hands placed on the hand-
grip sensors (R) Fig3 after you have
stopped doing the exercise.
If the error code “E1” is shown on the
screen then this means that you do
not have your hands positioned
correctly on the hand-grip sensors (R).
If the error code “E2” appears on the
screen, this means that you have not
stopped exercising.
