current heart rate is lower than preset, it will increase resistance and you may speed
up.

The pulse recovery test is to compare your heart rate before and after exercise. It is
targeted to determine your heart strength via the measuring. Please do the test as
below:
• Both your hands hold the pulse sensor or via wireless transmitter belt to test the

• Press RECOVERY to enter the pulse recovery test and the computer program will
enter the stop status.
• Keep pulse detecting.
• Time will count down from 60 seconds to 0 second.
• When time reaches 0, the test result (F1-F6) appears on the display.
F1= Excellent
F2= Good
F3= Fair
F4= Below average
F5= No Good
F6= Poor
• If the computer does not detect your current heart rate first, pressing RECOVERY
will not enter into pulse recovery test. During the pulse recovery test, press
RECOVERY to exit the test and return to the stop status.
• Pulse Measurement
Please place both your palms on the contact pads and the computer will show your current
heartbeat rate in beats per minute (BPM) on the LCD after 3~4 seconds. During the
measurement, heart icon will flash with simulative ECG showing.
Remark: During the process of pulse measurement, because of the contact jamming, the
measurement value may not be stable when start, then it will return to normal level. The
measurement value cannot be regarded as the basis of medical treatment.
Note:
If the computer is also equipped with wireless heart rate measuring via the
transmitter belt and with hand pulse function, the hand-measurement-signal-
detecting is preferred.
