Heart Rate Transmitter Strap & Contact Grips - SCIFIT ISO1000 Owner's Operation Manual

HEART RATE TRANSMITTER STRAP & CONTACT GRIPS
Uses of the Heart Rate Transmitter Strap
The optional wireless heart rate transmitter accessory
is a useful device if you desire continuous feedback on
your current heart rate during a workout. In addition,
the ISO1000 & ISO7000 include a heart rate control
program which requires use of the strap.
The heart rate control program enables the user to
setup a target heart rate. Through real-time monitoring
of the user's heart rate, the console maintains the
user's heart rate at or below this established target
rate by decreasing the workload if the user's heart
rate exceeds the target.
Activating & Deactivating Transmitter
Heart rate transmitter straps come in a variety of styles
and manufacturers. To properly activate, secure strap
to the chest, and to deactivate follow the instructions
that come with the transmitter strap.
CAUTION
Always follow manufacturers instructions for proper
care and use. Failure to follow manufacturers
instructions may result in injury to yourself.
WARNING
Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate.
If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately. Over
exercising may result in serious injury or death.

Use of the Heart Rate Contact Grips
Simply grip the contact pads lightly. After a short
delay the pulse reading will appear on the screen. If
a heart rate transmitter strap is worn, it will override
the contact pickup.
The contact grips are not designed for use with
SCIFIT's heart rate control program. This program
requires a steady, continuous telemetry signal which
can not be provided using contract heart rate grips.
While the contact grips provide a good barometer
for monitoring the users heart rate, they are not
recommended for
monitoring is vital.

Calculating Target Heart Rate Zone
Your approximate Maximum Heart Rate (MHR)
is equal to 220 minus your age. The upper limit of
your target zone is equal to 0.85 times your MHR. The
lower limit of your target zone is equal to 0.60 times
your MHR.
For Example:
Your age is 40:
220 - 40 = 180
180 x .85 = 153 (max MHR)
180 x .60 = 108 (min MHR)
These values are based upon averages, always consult
your physician to establish the proper Heart Rate Zone
for your individual health condition.
