workout as you rest.
When the computer shows “0.00”, the screen will display
a HEART RATE RECOVERY grade of between F1.0 and F6.9,
providing 69 levels of measurement.
A heart rate recovery score of F1.0 is excellent with F6.9
being poor.
Please note to make an accurate comparison of
subsequent fitness tests, it is recommended that pre-
testing exercise sessions are of the same speed, duration
and load to give the most accurate test result.
HAnD PULSE SEnSOr
To obtain a pulse reading you must have your left and
right hands holding the sensors at the same time.
Grip the hand sensors normally (NOT TOO TIGHT) during
exercise and after a few seconds the computer will display
your pulse reading.
Some people will not be able to obtain an accurate
hand pulse reading e.g. due to hand skin or variations
in circulation. We recommend you use a chest belt
transmitter.
A chest belt transmitter which can monitor the heart
rate to ECG accuracy can be purchased for use with this
computer. The ultra lightweight transmitter is worn on
the chest, and the readout is displayed on the computer
screen.
Contact the YORK help line or your local YORK dealer and
ask for item #81 Transmitter Set.
