4.4.4 H.R.C. - Heart-rate controlled programs
After you have selected the program you can enter the desired target heart rate.
Either choose one of the three target heart rates (55%, 75% or 90% of your maximum
heart rate) or select “TAG” and enter a target heart rate manually. Your maximum heart
rate is determined by the console based on your age (which you have entered in the
user account). Confirm your selection with the ENTER button. Next, you can enter the
workout time using the control wheel, and press the START/STOP button to start your
workout. When your workout starts, the time set will run backwards. An alarm sounds
if you exceed the selected target heart rate. The alarm then sounds continuously until
your heart rate exceeds the set limit again. If your heart rate stays above the set rate for
a long time, the program will stop automatically. As soon as the countdown reaches
zero, the screen starts to flash and an alarm sounds. Press any button to turn off the
alarm. The console has an integrated heart-rate receiver. Heart rate can be measured
via the hand pulse sensors; however, a chest strap is recommended for heart-rate
measurement as this measurement technique gives far more accurate values.
Tip:
If no heart-rate signal is received for five seconds, a heart symbol with a question mark
is displayed. This symbol disappears once a heart-rate signal is received again.
