Heart Rate Monitoring Devices

Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)

The 700Tm 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:

•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 700Tm is equipped a built-in receiver and a chest strap for your heart rate mon- itoring. 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 or there is other electronics near by, such as TV, Radio...)

The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console unit of the Diamondback 700Tm equipments. While using heart rate control modes, the comput- er 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.

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.)
