Training and Operating Instructions

General information

System signals
Activation of the device
If you activate the device, a signal is emitted during the segment test.
Presetting
A short signal is emitted, if you reach a presetting like time, distance and
KJoule/kcal.
Exceeding of maximum pulse
If the set maximum pulse is exceeded by one pulse beat, two short signals
are emitted for the time of exceedance.
Calculation of fitness score
The computer calculates and assess the difference between the trai-
ning and recovery heart rate and the resulting "fitness score" accor-
ding to the following formula:
Note (F) = 6.0 –
P1 = Training pulse
Score 1 = very good
A comparison of the training and recovery heart rate is a quick and
easy way in which to determine physical fitness. The fitness score is
an orientation value to asses your recovering ability after physical
exercise. Before pressing the recovery heart rate button and deter-
mining your fitness score, you should train at your own level of inten-
sity for a significant period of time e.g. 10 minutes. For regular car-
diovascular training you will discover that your "fitness score" impro-
ves.
Possibilities for Pulse Measurement
The pulse measurement starts as soon as the heart in the display
blinks in time with your pulse beat.

With hand pulse

An extra-low voltage caused by the contractions of your heart is regi-
stered by the hand sensors and evaluated by the electronics assem-
bly of the device.
• Always grab the contact faces with both hands.
• Avoid jerky grasping.
• Hold your hands calmly and avoid contractions and rubbing on
the contact faces.

With ear clip

The pulse sensor works with infrared light and measures the variati-
ons in translucence in your skin, which are produced by your pulse
beat. Rub your ear ten times strongly to activate the blood circulation
before attaching the pulse sensor to your earlobe.
Avoid disturbing pulses.
• Attach the ear clip properly to your earlobe and look for the best
point for the measurement (heart symbol blinks without interrupti-
on).
• Do not train directly under strong incidence of light, e.g. neon
light, halogen light, spotlight, sun light.
• Completely eliminate any shocks or bounces of the ear sensor

and the cable. Always attach the cable with a clip at your clothing
or, even better, at your headband.
With breast clip
The internal pulse receiver is compatible to un-coded POLAR chest
strap transmitters. For coded systems, wrong pulse values may be
displayed. We recommend T34 by POLAR. Please observe the cor-
responding instructions.
A plug-in receiver is not necessary and should not be used for technical
reasons.
Comment:
Only one way of pulse measurement is possible: either with ear clip
or with hand pulse or with breast belt. If no ear clip is located in the
pulse plug, hand pulse measurement is activated. If you insert an ear
clip in the pulse plug, hand pulse measurement is automatically
deactivated. It is not necessary to disconnect the plug of the hand
pulse measurement.
Faults in the Training Computer
If the computer display is not functioning correctly, please remove the
power supply and switch off the machine.
