These are average values and the maximum varies from person to person. The maximum heart rate diminishes on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for you. We have defined three different

Active trainer: 70-80 % of maximum heart rate
Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes a long history of exercising.

TURNING THE METER ON AND OFF
The meter turns itself on when the device is connected to the mains current. When the meter has not been used for five minutes (no heart rate registered, no keys pressed, no pedaling), it automatically switches itself to
Protect the meter from excess sunlight, because that may fade the interface box and surface membrane colors. Please also be careful not to allow the meter to come into contact with water. A sharp blow may damage the meter.
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 handle bars. Pulse is measured when the user of E5R 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.
HEART RATE MEASUREMENT WITH
THE HEART RATE BELT
1.Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap.
2. Adjust the length of the strap to fit snugly and comfortably.
3. Pull the transmitter away from your chest and wet the grooved areas at its back.
4. Check the wet electrodes are uniformly positioned next to your skin and that the Polar logo is central and upright.
The heart rate belt works best when the transmitter is worn against your bare skin. If you prefer to wear it over a shirt, please moisten the shirt well under the electrodes: the contacts must be wet while you exercise.
Take good care of the transmitter after you exercise. This helps to prolong the life of the electrodes and battery.
1.Wash the transmitter carefully with a mild
2. Rinse with clean water.
3. Dry the transmitter carefully.
