Exercise guidelines (continued)

HEART RATE MONITORING DEVICES

Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)

The 1190Er unit is heart rate controlled and comes standard with stainless steel pulse handgrips. To activate, gently grasp both handgrips 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.)

Pulse Grip 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.

Chest Strap (Standard)

The 1190Er is equipped a built-in receiver and a chest strap for your heart rate monitoring. To get an accurate reading using these devices, you will need to be within three feet of the console, and a minimum of four feet from others using a heart rate monitoring device.

(Note: The transmitter may fluctuate erratically if you are too close to other heart rate monitoring equipment.)

The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console unit of the Diamondback 1190Er equipment. While using heart rate control modes, the com- puter 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 the wattage to maintain heart rate at the preprogrammed level.
