PULSE MEASUREMENT
INSTRUCTIONS -
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 nº 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 nº 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
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. 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. 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 «Recovery» 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, F6»;
where «F1» is the best (fitness
«Excellent») and «F6» the worst
(fitness «Very Poor»).
Pressing the RECOVERY 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 does not work unless you
have both hands placed on the
sensors (R) (Hand-grips). In this case
the message «F6» will appear on the
screen at the end of the test.
