CONSOLE OPERATION

Your BFUB1 comes equipped with Heart Rate Contacts. The Heart Rate Contacts send your heart rate information to the console for processing. To measure Heart Rate, your hands need to "rmly grasp the entire area of the Heart Rate Contact Sensors on both sides of the handlebar. There is no need to hold onto the contacts very tightly although holding onto the contacts loosely may produce a false readout.

Before measuring your pulse rate, make sure the PULSE window shows‘P’instead of‘0’. The readout may show ‘0’ after a brief period of pulse reading inactivity. Press any but- ton to change ‘0’ into “P” to activate the pulse readout. Place both of your palms on the Heart Rate Contact Pads and the monitor will show your current heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) after a 3~4 second calculation time.

During the Heart Rate reading, because of the contact jamming phenomenon, the mea- sured Heart Rate value may be higher than your actual pulse rate during the "rst 2~3 seconds, then will stabilize to a normal level.

PULSE RECOVERY

PULSE RECOVERY is an excellent guide for many types of training regimes that use recovery heart rate as a progress guide and to spot problems such as over- heating or dehydration.

First, test your pulse as mentioned in the PULSE RATE sec- tion. Then, while not exercising (SPEED is 0 mph), press to enter the PULSE RECOVERY function. The display will show a 1 minute count-down as well as your current pulse rate. Hold on to the Heart Rate Contacts until the display counts down to zero. The console will now display your pulse recovery level

from F1 to F6. Press again to exit the PULSE RECOVERY function.

The Pulse Recovery is at the F2 level. ￿
