RECOVERY
Recovery pulse phase
The RECOVERY function can be selected after any training
program.
With the RECOVERY key, you reach a recovery pulse measu-
rement at the end of the exercise session. From the beginning
and ending pulse of one minute, the deviation and the fitness
grade is determined. With the same exercise session, the impro-
vement of this grade is a measurement of the increased fitness.
If you have reached the target value, end the exercise session,
press the RECOVERY KEY and then lay your hands on the hand
pulse sensors. With a previous pulse measurement in the display
00:60 appears for the time and in the PULSE display the current
pulse value blinks. The time begins to count from 00:60 back-
wards. Keep your hands on the hand pulse sensors until >0< is
reached. Right in the display a value between F1 and F6 is shown.
F1 is the best and F6 the worse status. By pressing RECOVERY
again, the function is ended.
6. Possibilities for Pulse Measurement
The pulse measurement starts as soon as the heart in the display
blinks in time with your pulse beat.
With ear clip
The pulse sensor works with infrared light and measures the varia-
tions in translucence in your skin, which are produced by your
pulse beat. Rub your ear ten times strongly to activate the blood
circulation before attaching the pulse sensor to your earlobe.
Avoid disturbing pulses.
• Attach the ear clip properly to your earlobe and look for the
best point for the measurement (heart symbol blinks without
interruption).
• Do not train directly under strong incidence of light, e.g. neon
light, halogen light, spotlight, sun light.
• Completely eliminate any shocks or bounces of the ear sensor
and the cable. Always attach the cable with a clip at your clo-
thing or, even better, at your headband.
With breast clip
The internal pulse receiver is compatible to un-coded POLAR chest
strap transmitters. For coded systems, wrong pulse values may
be displayed. We recommend T34 by POLAR
Please observe the corresponding instructions.
With hand pulse
An extra-low voltage caused by the contractions of your heart is
registered by the hand sensors and evaluated by the electronics
assembly of the device.
• Always grab the contact faces with both hands.
• Avoid jerky grasping.
• Hold your hands calmly and avoid contractions and rubbing
on the contact faces.
Comment:
Only one way of pulse measurement is possible:
either
with ear
clip
or
with hand pulse
or
with breast belt. If no ear clip or plug
recipient is located in the pulse plug, hand pulse measurement is
activated. If you insert an ear clip or a plug recipient in the pulse
plug, hand pulse measurement is automatically deactivated. It is
not
necessary to disconnect the plug of the hand pulse measu-
rement.
7. Notes
– If no signal is transmitted to the computer for 4 minutes, the
LCD will shut off automatically and all existing training data
will be stored. You can then press any button to reactivate
the computer.
– If the computer is not displaying correctly, disconnect and
then reconnect the power supply.
