TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT
The most reliable way of measuring the
heart rate is telemetric measurement using a
transmitter belt.
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, firmly 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 equipment 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 fibers 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 field around them, which will cause
problems in heart rate measurement.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Please follow these instructions when carrying
and moving the cycle about, because lifting it
incorrectly may strain your back or risk other
accidents:
NOTE!
Always switch the power off and unplug
the power cord before you start moving the
equipment around! Transport the equipment
with extreme caution over uneven surfaces,
for example over a step. The equipment must
never be transported upstairs using the wheels
over the steps, instead it must be carried. Place
the equipment on a firm, level surface, and on
a protective base to avoid any damages to the
floor beneath the equipment. Notice that certain
floor materials may require protection when
transporting the equipment.
Move the recumbent cycle according to the
following instruction: stand behind the cycle and
take it by the seat frame with one hand and by
the handlebar with the other hand. Lift the E4R
so that it rests on the transport wheels and move
it by wheeling. Lower the cycle on the floor
while holding on to it and remaining all the time
behind the equipment.
To prevent the equipment malfunctioning, store
in a dry place with as little temperature variation
as possible and protected from dust.
MAINTENANCE
The equipment requires very little maintenance.
Check, however, from time-to-time that all
screws and nuts are tight.
•
After exercising, clean the equipment with a
soft, absorbent cloth. Do not use solvents. Sweat
may cause corrosion: we recommend therefore
that you protect all metal surfaces outside the
plastic covers with teflon or car wax.
•
Never remove the equipment’s protective
casing.
•
The magnetic brake forms a magnetic field that
may damage the mechanism of a watch, or the
magnetic identification strip on a credit or cash
card, should they come into immediate contact
with the magnets. Never attempt to detach or
remove the magnetic brake!
•
The magnetic brake is based on magnetic
resistance; resistance level is electronically
measured and shown as watt reading on the
display. Due to the measurement system, your
Tunturi ergometer need not be re-calibrated when
assembled, serviced and used according to this
Owner’s Manual.
•
If the equipment is not used for a period
of time, the transmission belt may become
temporarily distorted. This can lead to a
sensation of slightly uneven pedaling. However,
