PROPER USAGE
To determine proper seat position, sit on the seat
and position the ball of your foot on the center of the
pedal. Your knee should bend slightly at the furthest
pedal position. You should be able to pedal without
locking your knees or shifting your weight from side
to side. Adjust pedal straps to deisired tightness.
USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device.
While heart rate grips can provide a relative estimation of
your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when
accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including
those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an
alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist
strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may
affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate
reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining
heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
PULSE GRIPS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars.
Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. It
takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate
to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly.
Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep
a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if
consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean
the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.
WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER
When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate
can be transmitted wirelessly to the unit and displayed on the console.
Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber
electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles,
directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight and
properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose,
or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.
WARNING!
Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercising may result in
serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately.
