Cardio mode
Description
Cardio mode means heart rate controlled work load („pulse control“ cardio-training). The cardio mode controls the speed
and/or elevation of the running machine, so that the heart rate of the subject stays within a predefined zone. Therefore,
the subject has to wear a corresponding chest belt with heart rate transmitter.
For information and correct chest belt placement see also chapter 5 “Operation”.
Note for patients with pacemaker
The expert report from the “Herzschrittmacher-Institute in Kochel”, Germany states that a negative influence or danger
for patients with implanted pacemakers is impossible. Nevertheless, we recommend all patients with pacemakers
consult their doctor before using the POLAR heart rate measurement system.

N
Read all safety instructions and warnings in the instruction manual of this machine and of all
accessories and options involved.
N
“WARNING! Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate.
N
Over exercising, incorrect or forbidden use may result in serious injury or death.
N
If the user feels faint, sick, dizzy or pain or in case of any other health problems stop
exercising immediately and see a doctor.
N
In case of detected or suspected interference of the wireless heart rate transmission do not
use the cardio mode.
N
The operation of the cardio mode is prohibited if the health and the condition of the subject /
patient do not permit and a doctor has not authorized these loads. Disregard may cause
injuries and serious health problems.
N
In automatic mode the subject/patient and supervisory staff have to impropriate exact
knowledge of the expected loads before starting and anticipate an automatic load change
(speed, acceleration, deceleration, elevation and STOP) at any time. Higher precautions may be
necessary.
The following parameters can be programmed:
N
The desired maximum heart rate (pulse) during the training
N
The desired minimal heart rate (pulse) during the training
N
The maximum allowed speed for the cardio mode. Elevation can be set manually during the exercise.
The running machine starts with the starting speed. In order to keep the heart rate within the pre-selected heart
rate zone, the machine increases or decreases the speed automatically if necessary. The speed will not exceed
the max. defined speed. If the max. speed has been reached and the heart rate of the subject is still below the
target zone, the elevation will be increased to achieve the target hart rate. On the other hand, if the max. heart rate
has been reached, the elevation and then the speed will be reduced in order to relieve the subject.
