Heart Rate Monitoring
Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)
The 1150 Series units are heart rate controlled and come stan- dard with stainless steel pulse hand grips. To activate, gently grasp both hand grips to obtain a heart rate reading.
Note: It is recommended to wear a chest strap for Heart Rate control program as it is more accurate. If you wear a chest strap and use hand grips at the same time for heart rate monitoring purpose, please note the console will take the measurement of the chest strap.
Operating Tips:
If you are not getting a consistent reading while using the hand pulse option, we recommend the following suggestions:
•Make sure that the palms of the hands are touching the contact area of each hand pulse grip.
•Maintain an even pressure on the grips.
•Do not hold the hand pulse grips too tightly.

The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console unit of the Diamondback 1150 Series equipment. While using heart rate control modes, the computer monitors the exact measurement of and control over the activity if the heart. Heart rate frequency is displayed while the computer continually compares heart rate to the preprogrammed personal data. The computer adjusts wattage (load) to maintain heart rate at the preprogrammed level.
How to Wear Your Sensor/ Transmitter
1.Buckle one end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
2.Adjust the band length so that the fit is snug, but not too tight.
3.Buckle the other end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
4.Center the transmitter on your chest below the pectoral muscle (breasts).
5.Pull unit away from chest by stretching the belt and moistening the conductive electrode strips located next to the buckles.
Note: The transmitter is on automatically when being worn. It is off when it is not connected to your body. However, as moisture may activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry the transmitter to prolong battery life.
Important: It is not safe to exceed 95% of your maximum heart rate while exercising. Due to this safety reason the console will shut down and reset if the heart rate exceeds 95% of your maximum heart rate.
