Vous pouvez mesurer votre fréquence cardiaque en
utilisant le détecteur de pouls présent sur la poignée
ou le détecteur de pouls pectoral disponible en option.
Remarque : n’utilisez pas le détecteur de pouls
présent sur la poignée en même temps que le
détecteur de pouls pectoral car la console ne pourrait
pas afficher correctement votre fréquence cardiaque.
Si les contacts métalliques du détecteur de pouls
situé sur les poignées sont recouverts d’une feuille
de plastique transparent, retirez-la. Vous devez avoir
toujours les mains
propres lorsque vous
utilisez l’appareil. Pour
mesurer votre pouls,
saisissez le capteur
de pouls situé sur les
poignées en ayant soin
de placer vos paumes
contre les contacts
métalliques. Évitez de
déplacer vos mains
et ne serrez pas les
contacts trop fortement.
HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
The heart rate monitor has two components: a chest
strap and a sensor unit (see the drawing below).
Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into one
end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset drawing.
Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on
the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the front
of the sensor unit.
Next, wrap the heart rate monitor around your chest
and attach the other end of the chest strap to the
sensor unit. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if
necessary. The heart rate monitor should be under
your clothes, tight against your skin, and as
high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is
comfortable. Make sure that the logo on the sensor
unit is facing forward and is rightside-up.
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few
inches and locate the two electrode areas on the
inner side (the electrode areas are covered by
shallow ridges). Using saline solution such as saliva
or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas.
Return the sensor unit to a position against your
chest.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Dry the heart rate monitor after each use. The heart
rate monitor is activated when you wet the electrode
areas and put on the heart rate monitor; the heart
rate monitor shuts off when it is removed and the
electrode areas are dried. If the heart rate monitor is
not dried after each use, the battery may be drained
prematurely.
• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time or to
temperatures above 122° F (50° C) or below 14° F
(-10° C).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the heart rate monitor.
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. Hand wash
and air dry the heart rate monitor.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the heart rate monitor does not function properly,
try the suggestions below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate
monitor as described at the left. Note: If the heart rate
monitor does not function when positioned as
described, move it slightly lower or higher on your
chest.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor
unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until you
begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
• Position yourself near the console. For the console
to display heart rate readings.
• The heart rate monitor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical
conditions such as premature ventricular contractions
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
• The operation of the heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that this
is a problem, try relocating the bike.
