OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HEART RATE CALCULATION
Before beginning any test, calculate your maximum heart rate. The maximum number of
heartbeats that a person must not exceed is referred to as the maximum heart rate and this value
drops with age. A simple formula to calculate this is to subtract your age, in years, from the number
220. To ensure that you are exercising correctly, try to keep between 65% and 85% of your
maximum heart rate value.
For example, the maximum heart rate that a 30 year old user must not exceed is:
220 – 30 = 190 heart beats per minute (BPM).
190 x 0.65 = 123 heart beats per minute.
190 x 0.85 = 161 heart beats per minute. Do not exceed 85%.
So the heart rate exercise range for a 30 year old is between 123 and 161 BPM.
Stop exercising if your pulse is 85% of your maximum heart rate.
NOTE: Some test will Only record heart rate using a telemetric Chest band such as the POLAR
T41 Transmitter. Some test will record heart rate using the hand grip sensors.
PROGRAM MODE Screen6
The exercise programs on this machine have to be done at a set rate, if you fail
to achieve this rate the monitor will instruct you to increase your exercise rate by
displaying a sign such as the R.P.M.↑(Revolutions Per Minute) in screen 6.
This monitor offers the following programs: “goals”; four preset programs under “profile manager”; one
“fitness test”; one “heart control” program; one “constant watt” program.
This monitor also offers “quickstart”.“Quickstart” is not programmed; the user sets the level of exercise
difficulty.
GOALS PROGRAM
In the GOALS program you can select:
A)- Time setting for the exercise.
B)- Distance to cover during the exercise.
C)- Calories to burn during the exercise.
