Users should pass a full medical examination before they begin an exercise program. If you feel any pain or discomfort, stop exercising immediately and consult your doctor. Verify that all of the parts are attached and that the nuts, bolts, pedals and bar are correctly tightened before use. [. . . ] Use the / keys to select the desired option (55%, 75% 90% [DO NOT use 90%, DO NOT exceed 85%] or THR) and press the MODE key. The first three 12 C5 Bike (H870) represent the percentage with respect to maximum heart rate (220-age) and the fourth is used to specify the target heart rate manually. In the first three cases, the lower window on the display (TARGET H. R. ) will show you the calculated value for your maximum heart rate level. If you choose THR then you should use the / keys to select the desired heart rate and then press ENTER. The exertion level will adjust automatically in accordance with the selected hart rate value. If the pulse rate is below the target value then the exertion setting will increase by one level every 30 seconds until it reaches the maximum 16. If the pulse rate is above the target value the monitor will give out warning beeps and reduce the exertion settings by one level every 15 seconds until it reaches the minimum 1. If the pulse rate still stays above the target value for more than 30 seconds the monitor will beep and stop in order to protect the user. To program time, distance, calories and/or pulse rate, go through the following procedure: Once the heart rate program has been selected and before pressing the START / STOP key, press the ENTER key to program the time limit using the / keys. Your hands must be placed on the pulse sensors (R) when using these programs. HAND-GRIP PULSE MEASUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS - USE PULSE Hand-grip On this model the pulse rate is measured by placing both hands on the sensors (R), located on the handlebar, as shown in Figure 2. When both hands are placed on the sensors the heart symbol on the right-hand side of the screen, marked PULSE, will begin to flash and after a few seconds a heart rate reading will be displayed. If both hands are not placed correctly as shown in Figure 3 then the pulse function will not work. If a «P» appears on the screen or the heart symbol does not flash, make sure that both hands are placed correctly on the sensors. TELEMETRIC PULSE RATE The monitor is equipped to receive signals from a telemetric pulse measurement system. The system comprises of a receiver (D) and a transmitter (chest band) Fig 4. This telemetric pulse rate system takes precedence over the Hand-grip pulse rate system when both are used together. See telemetric pulse rate instruction at the end of this manual. STEADY WATT RATE PROGRAM After entering your personal data the LEDs for the various programs will start flashing on the right hand side of the monitor. By pressing the / keys you can program the watts to produce for the exercise (between 10-350 Watt). The exertion level for the exercise is self adjusting based on the speed and number of watts selected. Three symbols will help you with your training sessions: ­ Within the work margin, this indicates that the speed is too high and you should slow down. ­ Within the work margin, this indicates that the speed is too low and you should speed up. ------- This indicates that the watts being produced are outside the work limit (either too high or too low) so you should speed up or slow down accordingly. If the situation continues for more than three minutes, the monitor will give six beeps and then switch itself off, resetting the watt value back to zero. TEST MEASUREMENTS: FITNESS This electronic device is equipped with a recovery test function. [. . . ] If it does not and it works outside or another area of the house, the location is very difficult for wireless heart rate measurement and the equipment should be moved to another location. Question 3: Irregular heart rate reading Answer 3: a) The most common reason for irregular readings especially at the beginning of exercise session is that there is no proper connection between skin and the electrodes of transmitter. To ensure a proper connection, electrodes should be wetted prior to exercising. b) Elastic strap is too loose allowing ransmitter to move during exercise. [. . . ]
