•
70-80 % of maximum heart
rate
Exercise at this level suits only the fi ttest and
presupposes long-endurance workouts.
Rest is as important as exercise in a fi tness program.
If you for instance exercise conscientiously for
three weeks, it’s good to make the following week a
little lighter.
PULSE MEASUREMENT WITH
HAND GRIP PULSE
N OTE !
The hand grip pulse measurement
functions with the transmitter box switch in
ON
position. If you wish to use the Polar belt for heart
rate measurement, switch the hand grip pulse
to
OFF
position. Pulse is measured by the hand
grip sensors in the handlebars. Pulse is measured
when the user of E6R is touching both sensors
simultaneously. Pulse measurement requires that
the skin is constantly touching the sensors and
that the skin is slightly moist.
N OTE !
If you use
a heart rate controlled exercise or if the accuracy
of heart rate information is important to you, we
recommend heart rate measurement with the Polar
belt; unlike with the heart rate belt, the accuracy
of pulse measurement may vary considerably from
person to person.
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT
This equipment has a built in pulse receiver,
which is compatible with a Polar telemetric pulse
transmitter. If you want to measure your heart
rate this way during your workout, moisten the
grooved electrodes on the transmitter belt with
saliva or water. Fasten the transmitter just below
the chest with the elastic belt, fi rmly enough so
that the electrodes remain in contact with the
skin while pedaling, but not so tight that normal
breathing is prevented. If you wear the transmitter
and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly
at the points where the electrodes touch the shirt.
The transmitter automatically transmits the heart
rate reading to the meter up to a distance of about
1 meter. The heart rate value is displayed in the
meter. Follow your heart rate during the training.
REMARKS ON TELEMETRIC
MEASUREMENT
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart
rate reading will not appear on the display. If the
electrodes are dry, they must be moistened again.
Allow the electrodes to warm up properly to
ensure accurate heart rate measurement. If there
are several telemetric heart rate measurement
equipments next to each other, the distance
between them should be at least
1.
5 m. Similarly,
if there is only one receiver and several transmitters
in use, only one person with a transmitter should
be within transmission range. The transmitter is
switched to an active state only when it is being
used for measurement. Sweat and other moisture
can, however, keep the transmitter in an active state
and waste battery energy. Therefore it is important
to dry the electrodes carefully after use.
When selecting training attire, please note
that some fi bers used in clothes (e.g. polyester,
polyamide) create static electricity, which may
prevent reliable heart rate measurement.
Please note that a mobile phone, television and
other electrical appliances form an electro-magnetic
fi eld around them, which will cause problems in
heart rate measurement.
M E T E R
KEYS AND DISPLAYS
1. M A N UA L
Allows you to set your effort level with the arrow
keys during the workout.
2 . WAT T CO NTRO L
This program allows you to preset your effort level
(in watts), i.e. pedaling effort is independent of
pedaling speed and remains exactly at the preset
level. As the pedaling speed increases the resistance
is reduced and vice versa. The set value can be
changed also during the workout. The display
shows the effort level and the changes in effort.
You can choose the effort level to your liking with
arrow keys.
