The transmitter automatically transmits the pulse reading to
the meter up to a distance of about 1 m.
If you wear the transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten
the shirt slightly at the points where the electrodes touch
the shirt.
The pulse value is displayed in the lower right-hand display of
the meter.
Follow your pulse during the training and especially the
heart indicator light next to the PULSE text. The light
should flash in time with your heartbeat. If the indicator begins
to function in a disturbing fashion (e.g. additional beats or
abnormal fluctuations), the pulse measurement is not
functioning properly.

REMARKS ON

TELEMETRIC PULSE MEASUREMENT

N.B. IF YOU HAVE A HEART PACEMAKER, YOU MAY
USE THE PULSE MEASUREMENT TRANSMITTER ONLY
ON A PHYSICIAN'S APPROVAL!
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the pulse reading will
not appear on the display. If the electrodes are dry, they
must be moistened again. Allow the electrodes to warm
up properly to ensure accurate pulse measurement.
If there are several telemetric pulse measurement devices
next to each other, the distance between them should be at
least 1.5 m. Similarily, if there is only one receiver and
several transmitters in use, only one person with a
transmitter should be within transmission range.
The transmitter is switched to an active state only when it is
being used for measurement. Sweat and other moisture can,
however, keep the transmitter in an active state and waste
battery energy. Therefore it is important to dry the electrodes
carefully after use.
4. MAINTENANCE
The TriStepper 900 requires very little maintenance. Check,
however, from time to time the condition of the rubber retraction
bands. Tilt the stepper on its side to inspect the rubber bands
at the bottom of the stepper. If the bands are worn or frayed,
contact your local TUNTURI representative to have the
bands replaced.
To avoid premature wear on the chain mechanism and to
lower the noise level of the stepper, it is recommended to
lubricate the pedal chains with vaseline.
Check from time to time that all fastening screws and nuts are
tight. Clean the stepper with a damp cloth. Do not use
solvents.
Although the device operates with a 12 V protective
voltage we recommend the following adjustment to be
carried out only by a person qualified to service electro-
mechanical appliances according to the legislation of
your country.
In spite of continuous quality control, individual defects and
malfunctions may occur due to individual components. It is in
most cases unnecessary to take the whole device for repair,
as it is usually sufficient to replace the defective part.
If you notice any defects or malfunctions in the device
during use, contact your dealer immediately. Always
give the serial number of your device!
5. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
The stepper is easy to move by pushing along on the built-in
transportation wheels. Unplug the transformer from the power
source and from the connector in the lower left hand corner of
the side of the pulley cover. Take hold of the handlebar from
the back, tilt the stepper forward and push along the floor on
the wheels at the bottom of the main mast.
To prevent malfunctioning of the stepper, store it in a dry place
with as little temperature variation as possible, protected
against dust.
