begin the countdown, when it reaches zero it
will beep for 10 seconds, advising you that
the selected calorie value has been reached,
the calorie value will then start counting
upward.
E.PULSE FUNCTION
The pulse function shows you heart beats per
minute (BPM). To use this function place your
hands on the handlebar sensors (R), Fig. 4, and
your heart rate will be displayed after a few
seconds. This is not a medical appliance and
therefore these values are for guideline
purposes only.
To select the THR (Target Heart Rate) carry out
the following steps:
1. Press any key to switch the monitor on.
2. Press the ENTER/RESET key until the small
pulse window starts flashing and THR will
appear.
3. Press the UP or DOWN keys to set the
maximum pulse rate value that you wish to
use during the exercise, between 60 and 220
(BPM), the monitor’s default value is 0 BPM.
4. Begin exercising and your heart rate will be
displayed in the PULSE window, when you
reach the selected value the monitor will
flash to advise you that you have reached
the set pulse rate.
NOTE:
If, after 15 seconds, the sensor does not detect
a signal then the letter “P” will appear on the
screen, make sure that both your hands are
placed on the handlebar sensors (R), Figure 6.
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 Figure 4.
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 (38) and (26) are connected at the
back of the electronic unit.
F.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
press the “Test” button, put your hands on the
pulse sensors (R) and a one minute countdown
will start. Only the Time and Pulse rate functions
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.
When the minute is up, the electronic device will
work out the difference and your fitness rating
will be displayed up on the screen: “F1.0,
F2.0,..., F5.0, F6.0; where F1.0 is the best
(fitness “Excellent”) and F6.0 the worst (fitness
“Very Poor”).
Pressing the TEST button again will take you
back to the main screen.
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 the sensor is not
positioned correctly or if the error code “E1”
appears on the screen.
The TEST will not work if you do not have both
hands placed on the hand-grip sensors (R) 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).
