CONSOLE OPERATION
Your BFCT1 comes equipped with Heart Rate Contacts. The Heart Rate Contacts send
your heart rate information to the console for processing. To measure Heart Rate, your
hands need to fi rmly grasp the entire area of the Heart Rate Contact Sensors on both
sides of the handlebar. There is no need to hold onto the contacts very tightly although
holding onto the contacts loosely may produce a false readout.
Before measuring your pulse rate, make sure the PULSE window shows ‘P’ instead of ‘0’.
The readout may show ‘0’ after a brief period of pulse reading inactivity. Press any but-
ton to change ‘0’ into “P” to activate the pulse readout. Place both of your palms on the
Heart Rate Contact Pads and the monitor will show your current heart rate in beats per
minute (BPM) after a 3~4 second calculation time.
During the Heart Rate reading, because of the contact jamming phenomenon, the mea-
sured Heart Rate value may be higher than your actual pulse rate during the fi rst 2~3
seconds, then will stabilize to a normal level.

PULSE RECOVERY
PULSE RECOVERY is an excellent guide for many types of training regimes that
use recovery heart rate as a progress guide and to spot problems such as over-
heating or dehydration.
First, test your pulse as mentioned in the PULSE RATE sec-
tion. Then, while not exercising (SPEED is 0 mph), press
to enter the PULSE RECOVERY function.
The display will show a 1 minute count-down as well as your current
pulse rate. Hold on to the Heart Rate Contacts until the display counts
down to zero. The console will now display your pulse recovery level
from F1 to F6. Press again to exit the
PULSE RECOVERY function.
The Pulse Recovery is at the F2 level.
