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 exercising, but not so tight that normal breathing is prevented. Attach the transmitter and adjust the flexible belt to an appropriate tightness below chest level so that the electrodes are in contact with the skin during exercise. 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 console up to a distance of about 1 m.
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 warm up properly to ensure accurate heart rate measurement. 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 electromagnetic field around them, which will cause problems in heart rate measurement.
ROWING MOTION
O W N E R ' S M A N U A L • R 3 0 G B
Tighten the footstraps. Take a grip on the bar and start the rowing stroke by leaning slightly forward, with the knees bent and the arms straight. Push yourself backwards straightening your back and your legs simultaneously. Continue the movement until you lean slightly backwards and flex your armsat the same time. Return to the starting position, lean forward and straighten your arms.
BICEPS (ELBOW FLEXORS)
You can develop the biceps while rowing by taking an undergrasp of the bar or in the following way: grasp the bar from underneath, keep your knees straight and your feet under the footstraps. Begin the movement with your arms straight. Bend your arms. You can also develop your biceps by standing in front of the device, grasping either over or under the bar and bending your arms .
