Rest is as important as exercise in a fitness program. If you for instance exercise conscientiously for three weeks, it’s good to make the following week a little lighter.
PULSE MEASUREMENT WITH
HAND GRIP PULSE
NOTE! The hand grip pulse measurement functions with the transmitter box switch in ON position. If you wish to use the Polar belt for heart rate measurement, switch the hand grip pulse
to OFF position. Pulse is measured by the hand grip sensors in the handlebars. Pulse is measured when the user of E6R is touching both sensors simultaneously. Pulse measurement requires that the skin is constantly touching the sensors and that the skin is slightly moist. NOTE! If you use a heart rate controlled exercise or if the accuracy of heart rate information is important to you, we recommend heart rate measurement with the Polar belt; unlike with the heart rate belt, the accuracy of pulse measurement may vary considerably from person to person.
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT
This equipment has a built in pulse receiver, which is compatible with a Polar telemetric pulse transmitter. 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 equipments 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

KEYS AND DISPLAYS
1. MANUAL
Allows you to set your effort level with the arrow keys during the workout.
2. WATT CONTROL
This program allows you to preset your effort level (in watts), i.e. pedaling effort is independent of pedaling speed and remains exactly at the preset level. As the pedaling speed increases the resistance is reduced and vice versa. The set value can be changed also during the workout. The display shows the effort level and the changes in effort. You can choose the effort level to your liking with arrow keys.
