The F 400 has a built in pulse receiver which is compatible with a POLAR telemetric pulse transmitter, sold as an optional extra. If you want to measure your pulse 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 pedalling, but not so tight that normal breathing is prevented. The heart symbol beside the pulse value flashes in time with the user’s heartbeat.
N.B. IF YOU HAVE A HEART PACEMAKER, YOU MAY USE THE PULSE MEASUREMENT TRANSMITTER ONLY ON A PHYSICIAN'S APPROVAL!
If you wear the transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the shirt.
REMARKS ON
TELEMETRIC PULSE MEASUREMENT
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.
To prevent any extra pulses coming from the ear sensor, unplug the ear sensor when you use the telemetric pulse meter.
MAINTENANCE
The F 400 requires very little maintenance. Check, however, from time to time that all fastening screws and nuts are tight. Clean the cycle with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents.
If the cycle is transported long distances without packing it, the position of the brake caliper may change, for example, due to vibration. To check the position of the brake caliper in relation to the flywheel, proceed as follows:
Lean the cycle on its side so that it rests against e.g. a chair and you can see under the cycle easily. Adjust the resistance to maximum by turning the resistance adjustment knob to its extreme clockwise position. Check that the limiter screw (hex screw) of the brake caliper lever has not moved. If the brake caliper lever does not touch the limiter screw with the resistance at maximum, turn the adjustment nuts of the resistance adjustment wire until the lever touches the limiter screw. Lift the cycle back to the upright position.
If the resistance still seems too small, proceed as follows: Loosen the fastening screw of the grey top cover and the seven screws of the white side covers and remove the side covers. Adjust the resistance to maximum by turning the resistance adjustment knob to its extreme clockwise position.
Lean the cycle on its side so that it rests against e.g a chair and you can easily reach the control mechanism of the resistance adjustment wire under the frame.
N.B. Take your watch off before the following step, as it may be damaged by the magnetic field of the brake mechanism.
Push the approximately 1 mm thick plastic calibration strip between the magnetic caliper and the flywheel. If the brake caliper magnets are clearly further than 1 mm away from the flywheel rim, first open the locking nuts of the limiter screw and move the limiter screw slightly by turning the screw while holding the nuts at the same time (Fig. 6). Retighten the locking nuts of the limiter screw. Turn the adjustment nuts of the resistance adjustment wire, so that the magnet caliper is just in contact with the plastic strip with the resistance at maximum.
N.B. Make sure you do not make the adjustment nuts too tight.
Remove the calibration strip, lift the cycle into the upright position and replace the side and top covers.
CHANGING BATTERIES
If the meter display fades considerably or completely, change the batteries. Pull the meter out and remove the old batteries from the holder at the back of the meter. Push the new batteries into the holder (2 x 1.5 V AA) and push the meter back into its place at the top of the handlebar support tube.
If you notice a malfunction during use, contact the dealer. Always give the serial number of your device!
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.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Move the cycle according to the following instruction: stand behind the cycle, grip the seat with one hand and the
To prevent malfunctioning of the cycle, store in a dry place with as little temperature variation as possible, protected against dust.
