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 fl ash 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 fl ash
then make sure that both hands are placed on
the sensors and that the connectors (25) and
(35) are connected at the back of the electronic
unit.
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.
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: “F1.0,
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.
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.
