HEART RATE MONITORING DEVICES
Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)
The 1260Ef 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.)
Operating Tips:
If you are not getting a consistent reading while using the hand pulse option, we rec- ommend the following suggestions:

The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console unit of the Diamondback 1260Ef 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 the wattage to maintain heart rate at the prepro- grammed 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.Stretch the transmitter away from your chest and moisten the conductive electrode strips located next to the buckles with water.
(Note: The transmitter is on automatically when being worn. It is off when it is not con- nected to your body. However, as moisture may activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry the transmitter to prolong battery life.)
