measurement is achieved with a telemetric device, in which the electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the chest transmit the pulses from the heart to the console by means of an electromagnetic field.

NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please consult a physician before using a wireless heart rate monitor.

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. 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. If there are several telemetric heart rate measurement devices 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 electromagnetic field around them, which will cause problems in heart rate measurement.

First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate doesn’t increase with added effort. If you don’t know your maximum heart rate, please use the following formula as a guide:

220 – AGE

These are average values and the maximum varies from person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for you.

We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help you with targeted training.

BEGINNER: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate

Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents

O W N E R ’ S M A N U A L T 6 0

and those who haven’t exercised for a long time. Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves beginners’ respiratory and circulatory performance and you will quickly feel your improvement.

TRAINER: 60-70 % of maximum heart-rate

Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three times a week. To improve your condition still further, increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the same time!

ACTIVE TRAINER: 70-80 % of maximum heart-rate

Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes long-endurance workouts.

CONSOLE

FUNCTION KEYS

START

Starts the selected training and activates the running belt.

SPEED CONTROL KEYS (Rabbit / Turtle)

Rabbit key increases the belt speed in 0,1 km/h / mph increments, the turtle key decreases it in 0,1 km/h / mph increments. Pressing these keys longer makes the speed change faster. Track speed ranges from 0,5-18 km/h / 0,3-11.2 mph.

ELEVATION CONTROL KEYS

Click the elevation up key to increase elevation in 0,5

%increments, and the elevation down key to decrease it in 0,5 % increments. Pressing these keys longer makes the speed change faster. Track elevation ranges from 0 % (horizontal) to 10 %.

ARROW KEYS

In user settings, you can adjust the values with the arrow keys. In HRC mode, you can set and scale the target HR with the arrow keys. In exercise profiles, you can set and scale the effort level with the arrow keys. Pressing the “arrow up” key will increase the effort, and pressing the “arrow down” key will decrease the effort.

STOP / PAUSE / RESET

Press STOP once and the treadmill stops and moves into its waiting state for 5 minutes. You can restart the interrupted exercise by pressing the START key within 5 minutes. Press STOP twice to end your exercise. Keep the STOP key pressed down for 2 seconds to reset the console. The console then switches to its initial state.

SELECT

Before you press the START key, SELECT key selects the training modes. During training, SELECT key selects the profile displays.

ENTER

Confirm your selections (training mode or program, user set-ups)
