EKG Hand Pulse Sensor Operation
The PowerBike comes with EKG hand pulse sensors which can be found on the handlebars.
To operate place the palms of your hands over the sensors. It will take a few seconds for
your pulse rate to be displayed on the console. To keep monitoring, keep gripping the
sensors, if the readings are intermittent you may not have full contact with the sensors or not
enough of your palm on the sensor. Remove your hand and place it over the sensor again.
The pulse reading is not an accurate reading but a guide as to what your pulse is, if the
reading is too high it might be that you are exercising too intensively, if this is the case you
may want to either slow your pace or reduce the level of resistance in order to reduce the
pulse rate.
If you require a more accurate method of monitoring, Reebok has a range of Heart Rate
monitors, details of which can be found on our website: www.reebokfitness.co.uk.
