Cardio mode – general notes
Heart rate controlled work load („pulse-control“ cardio-training)
N
Pay attention to all safety instructions and warnings in the instruction manual of this
machine and of all accessories and options involved.
N
Heart rate monitoring systems can be inaccurate.
N
Overtraining can lead to serious injury or death.
N
If you feel close to fainting, the training is to be stopped immediately.
N
Stop training immediately if feeling sick or dizzy, pain or in case of any other health
problem and see your doctor.
N
In the 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 forbidden, if the health and the condition of the test
person / patient do not allow it and a doctor has not authorized these loads. Disregard may
cause injuries and dangerous health problems.
N
At automatic and cardio operation the test person / patient and supervisory staff have to
impropriate exact knowledge about the expected loads before starting and anticipate an
automatic load alternation (speed, acceleration, decelaration, elevation and STOP) at any
time. It is necessary to meet the appropriate higher and reasonable safety precautions.

Cardio mode - Field of application / control
The Cardio Mode controls 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.
Adjust the belt length so that the belt fits
tightly but does not confine you. The belt
should not loosen while exercising. Close the
belt with transmitter placed outwards
(POLAR-Logo in right position).
In order to allow an optimal skin contact the
skin should be moist. Contact gel, as used for
ECG, is an excellent solution. Moisten the
two electrodes and the skin with water or
contact gel, which is available at chemistries.
Place the transmitter so that it is right below the pectoral muscle (chest), as is shown in the illustration above. For
ca. 95 ... 98 % of the subjects the "normal" placement of the transmitter belt is recommended.
