Sport helps keep the human body young and fit. Whoever
carries out regular sports activities will feel the benefits
first hand - feeling healthier, fitter and able to work hard.
CP 16is
is the ideal device for measuring heart rate, and
guiding and monitoring a training routine by setting upper
and lower heart rate values. If the upper or lower heart
rates are exceeded,
CP 16is
emits an optical and acoustic
warning signal.
The
CP 16is
heart rate monitor is also able to calculate the
calorie consumption and graphically display the level of
fatigue, within the set heart rate zone.
Warning: whoever carries out fitness training should have a
general medical check up on his/her general state of
health – especially beginners, persons older than 35 years
of age and anyone who has suffered from illnesses or
injuries in the past. It is recommended that a doctor be
consulted in any case in the presence of risk factors, such
as smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol values,
diabetes, lack of exercise and excess weight.
Pacemaker wearers should consult their doctor
before using any heart rate measurement device!

the following general rules apply:
- Measurement of the heart rate is only possible if the
transmitter belt is fitted correctly and the
CP 16is
lies
within the transmitter’s reception range (approx. 70 cm).
- Press the Mode button to start the receiver fitted in the
CP 16is
. If the
CP 16is
does not receive any heart rate
signal for more than 5 minutes it automatically switches
off, and remains in standby mode. If the Mode button is
pressed, the
CP 16is
returns to the normal operation
mode (the heart rate receiver will also start at the same
time).
- A heart-shaped symbol will flash on the display when the
CP 16is
receives the heart rate signals from the
transmission belt.
2.1 Putting on the heart rate transmission belt
The transmitter belt is hung in the elastic chest belt and
fastened around the upper body. The transmitter (the plastic
part with the company logo) should lie over the middle of
the upper stomach, immediately below the breastbone, so
that the logo on the transmitter is legible (viewed from the
front) (see illustration). The electrodes in the belt, to the right
and left of the transmitter, must be in contact with the skin.
