Heart rate
Pulse rate measurement
(hand pulse sensors)
The pulse rate is measured by sensors in the handlebars when the user
is touching both sensors at the same time. Accurate pulse measurement
requires that the skin is slightly moist and constantly touching the
hand pulse sensors� If the skin is too dry or too moist, the pulse rate
measurement will become less accurate�
‼ NOTE
• Do not use the hand pulse sensors in combination with a heart
rate chest belt�
• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound
when it is exceeded�
Heart rate measurement
(heart rate chest belt)
‼ NOTE
• A chest strap does not come standard with this trainer. When you
like to use a wireless chest strap you need to purchase this as an
accessory�
The most accurate heart rate measurement is achieved with a heart
rate chest belt� The heart rate is measured by a heart rate receiver
in combination with a heart rate transmitter belt. Accurate heart
measurement requires that the electrodes on the transmitter belt are
slight moist and constantly touching the skin� If the electrodes are too
dry or too moist, the heart rate measurement will become less accurate�
⚠ WARNING
• If you have a pacemaker, consult a physician before using a
heartrate chest belt�
⚠ CAUTION
• If there are several heart rate measurement devices next to each
other, make sure that the distance between them is at least 1�5
metres�
• If there is only one heart rate receiver and several heart rate
transmitters, make sure that only one person with a transmitter is
within transmission range�
‼ NOTE
• Do not use a heart rate chest belt in combination with the
handpulse sensors�
• Always wear the heart rate chest belt under your clothes directly in
contact with your skin� Do not wear the heart rate chest belt above
your clothes� If you wear the heart rate chest belt above your
clothes, there will be no signal�
• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound
when it is exceeded�
• The transmitter transmits the heart rate to the console up to a
distance of 1 metre� If the electrodes are not moist, the heart rate
will not appear on the display�
• Some fibers in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static
electricity which can prevent accurate heart rate measurement�
• Mobile phones, televisions and other electrical appliances create
an electromagnetic field which can prevent accurate heart rate
measurement�
Maximum heart rate
(during training)
The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate a person can safely
achieve through exercise stress� The following formula is used to
calculate the average maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE. The maximum
heart rate varies from person to person�
⚠ WARNING

during your workout� If you belong to a risk group, consult a
