TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT

The most reliable way of measuring the heart rate is telemetric measurement using a transmitter belt.

If you want to measure your heart rate this way during your workout, moisten the grooved electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the electrodes remain in contact with the skin while pedaling, but not so tight that normal breathing is prevented. 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 transmitter automatically transmits the heart rate reading to the meter up to a distance of about 1 meter. The heart rate value is displayed in the meter. Follow your heart rate during the training.

REMARKS ON TELEMETRIC MEASUREMENT

If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart rate 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 heart rate measurement.

If there are several telemetric heart rate measurement equipment next to each other, the distance between them should be at least 1.5 m. Similarly, 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.

When selecting training attire, please note that some fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate measurement.

Please note that a mobile phone, television and other electrical appliances form an electro- magnetic field around them, which will cause problems in heart rate measurement.

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

Please follow these instructions when carrying and moving the cycle about, because lifting it incorrectly may strain your back or risk other accidents:

NOTE! Always switch the power off and unplug the power cord before you start moving the equipment around! Transport the equipment with extreme caution over uneven surfaces, for example over a step. The equipment must never be transported upstairs using the wheels over the steps, instead it must be carried. Place the equipment on a firm, level surface, and on a protective base to avoid any damages to the floor beneath the equipment. Notice that certain floor materials may require protection when transporting the equipment.

Move the recumbent cycle according to the following instruction: stand behind the cycle and take it by the seat frame with one hand and by the handlebar with the other hand. Lift the E4R so that it rests on the transport wheels and move it by wheeling. Lower the cycle on the floor while holding on to it and remaining all the time behind the equipment.

To prevent the equipment malfunctioning, store in a dry place with as little temperature variation as possible and protected from dust.

MAINTENANCE

The equipment requires very little maintenance. Check, however, from time-to-time that all screws and nuts are tight.

After exercising, clean the equipment with a soft, absorbent cloth. Do not use solvents. Sweat may cause corrosion: we recommend therefore that you protect all metal surfaces outside the plastic covers with teflon or car wax.

Never remove the equipment’s protective casing.

The magnetic brake forms a magnetic field that may damage the mechanism of a watch, or the magnetic identification strip on a credit or cash card, should they come into immediate contact with the magnets. Never attempt to detach or remove the magnetic brake!

The magnetic brake is based on magnetic resistance; resistance level is electronically measured and shown as watt reading on the display. Due to the measurement system, your Tunturi ergometer need not be re-calibrated when assembled, serviced and used according to this Owner’s Manual.

If the equipment is not used for a period

of time, the transmission belt may become temporarily distorted. This can lead to a sensation of slightly uneven pedaling. However,
