N
Holding handrails may affect the exercise results (e.g. heart rate, ECG, oxygen uptake, etc.).
N
Do not deposit any clothes, towels, jewellery, etc. on the running machine. Objects on the belt
may be tripped over or caught in the gap during rotation of the belt.
Healthy subjects should hold the handrails only in case of emergency or for weight relief. The patient is not allowed to
jump or turn around on the rotating belt. Furthermore, he/she should be informed about emergency procedures.
Depending on the prescribed or intended test or training, further devices may be
necessary (e.g. heart rate transmitter, ECG or ergospirometry device). The doctor
and/or the medical staff are to supervise the patient during the complete test or
training. If the heart rate transmitter is used, adjust the belt length so that the belt
fits tightly but is not confining. The belt should not loosen while exercising. Close
the belt with the transmitter placed outwards (POLAR logo in right position). In
order to allow optimal skin contact, the skin should be damp. Contact gel, as used for ECG, is an excellent moisturizer.
Moisten the two electrodes and the skin with water or ECG contact gel. Place the transmitter so that it is directly below
the pectoral muscle (chest), as shown in the illustration. For approximately 95 - 98 % of the subjects the "normal"
placement of the transmitter belt is recommended.
For further information, see chapter 5.9.4 entitled "Cardio mode
The user selects one of the operation modes (manual, profile, cardio or test mode) of the remote control firmware and
selects the prescribed test/training. The software asks the user to confirm or to change default settings. Current values
(e.g. exercise time, distance and index) are displayed. A break can be selected with the “-“ key. “PAUS” is then
displayed in the speed display. All current values are sustained and will be continued after restart. The test can be
cancelled with the “STOP” key. At the end of the treadmill training data can be stored and/or printed, depending on
selected mode, connected devices and the software version.
