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,
