Heart rate measurement
(heart rate chest belt)
NOTE
•
A chest strap does not come standard with
this trainer. When you like to use a wireless
chest strap you need to purchase this as an
accessory.
The most accurate heart rate measurement is
achieved with a heart rate chest belt. The heart
rate is measured by a heart rate receiver in
combination with a heart rate transmitter belt.
Accurate heart measurement requires that the
electrodes on the transmitter belt are slight moist
and constantly touching the skin.
If the electrodes are too dry or too moist,
the heart rate measurement will become less
accurate.
WARNING
•
If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician
before using a heartrate chest belt.
CAUTION
•
If there are several heart rate measurement
devices next to each other, make sure that
the distance between them is at least 1.5
metres.
•
If there is only one heart rate receiver and
several heart rate transmitters, make sure
that only one person with a transmitter is
within transmission range.
NOTE
•
Do not use a heart rate chest belt in
combination with the handpulse sensors.
•
Always wear the heart rate chest belt under
your clothes directly in contact with your
skin. Do not wear the heart rate chest belt
above your clothes. If you wear the heart
rate chest belt above your clothes, there will
be no signal.
•
If you set a heart rate limit for your workout,
an alarm will sound when it is exceeded.
•
The transmitter transmits the heart rate to
the console up to a distance of 1 metre. If
the electrodes are not moist, the heart rate
will not appear on the display.
•
Some fibers in clothes (e.g. polyester, poly-
amide) create static electricity which can
prevent accurate heart rate measurement.
•
Mobile phones, televisions and
other electrical appliances create an
electromagnetic field which can prevent
accurate heart rate measurement.
Maximum heart rate
(during training)
The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate
a person can safely achieve through exercise
stress. The following formula is used to calculate
the average maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE. The
maximum heart rate varies from person to person.
WARNING
•
Make sure that you do not exceed your
maximum heart rate during your workout.
If you belong to a risk group, consult a
physician.
