SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND TIPS FOR CHEST STRAP
1. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that all users of this unit have read the Owner's
Manual and are familiar with warnings and safety precautions.
2. Do not place chest strap near devices that generate large magnetic fields. TV sets, elec-
tric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can affect the transmitter’s performance.
These items can interfere with the heart rate signal and possibly affect the heart rate read-
ings on the console.
3. Handle the Chest Strap with care. Dropping the transmitter might cause damage that could
void the warranty.
4. Do not use the chest strap if you have a cardiac pacemaker or if your are taking medications
for a heart condition. Medication or electrical pulses from the pacemaker can interfere with
accurate heart rate readings.
5. Do not bend the strips inside the chest strap. This can cause the chest strap to lose
conductivity.
6. The chest strap has batteries that need to be replaced periodically. A faulty battery can
cause an inaccurate reading.

chest strap transmitter. Make sure that the Heart Rate Receiver is plugged into the side of the
Console Instructions

14
Console Instructions
Console. The chest strap will not function if it is not plugged in. Once the Heart Rate Receiver
is plugged in, the pulse grip heart rate function is disabled. The requirement to wear the chest
strap is due to the superior accuracy of a chest strap transmitter compared to the pulse grip
sensors.
Proper Installation of Heart Rate Receiver
It is suggested on the Chest Strap Transmitter positioning that you place the transmitter as
close to your heart as possible, against the skin about 1-2 inches below the pectoral muscles.
For best results, moisten the back of the transmitter for better contact.
There are three Heart Rate Programs. 60% HRC (Heart Rate Control), 75% HRC and 85%
HRC. The Console will adjust the Tension to keep you within your Target Heart Rate ± 5.
Example: The tension will increase if your Heart Rate is below the Target Heart Rate. The
tension will decrease if your Heart Rate is higher than your Target Heart Rate.
Press MODE until Program number shows on display. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to scroll to
this program. Press MODE and set values for TIME, DISTANCE, KCAL, AGE and TARGET HEART
RATE. Use the UP/DOWN keys to adjust the values. Press MODE after correct value shows on
display. Press START/STOP to begin exercising. Grasp Pulse Grips loosely with both hands to
activate PULSE function. You may also choose the TARGET HEART RATE WORKING PROGRAM
under the 3 main HEART RATE PROGRAMS. This allows the user to set a TARGET HEART RATE
to exercise at for a period of TIME or a set DISTANCE.
BODY FAT PROGRAM:
This program is designed to calculate body fat ratio and to design a specific tension profile. In
order to use this program correctly, make sure the personal data has been input and correct.
Press the BODY FAT button, and hold on to the hand grips to start body fat testing. The console
will display "- - - - - - - - " while testing is in progress. After 8 seconds, you will see the BODY
FAT in percentage and BMI. After program is completed, three values will be displayed:
Body Fat: Body Fat is the percentage of a person’s body mass that is not made up of
either; bones, muscles, organs, or water.
BMR: Stands for Basal Metabolic Rate. Basal Metabolic Rate (metabolism) is the rate at
which your body uses energy (calories) at rest, affecting total energy needs.
BMI: Stands for Body Mass Index. BMI is a measure which takes into account a person’s
weight and height to gauge total body fat in adults.
If the console has experienced an error, it will display on of the following error codes:
"E-1" - When the console displays this error, it means you did not put your hands
properly on the sensor. Please try again.
"E-4" - When the console displays this error, it means that the BODY FAT is out of range.

Monitoring Your Heart Rate
Monitoring Your Heart Rate
To obtain the greatest cardiovascular benefits from your exercise workout, it is important to
work within your target heart rate zone. The American Heart Association (AHA) defines this tar-
get as 60%-75% percent of your maximum heart rate.
Your maximum heart rate may be roughly calculated by subtracting your age from 220. Your
maximum heart rate and aerobic capacity naturally decreases as you age. This may vary from
one person to another, but use this number to find your approximate effective target zone. For
example, the maximum heart rate for an average 40 year-old is 180 bpm. The target heart
rate zone is 60%-75% of 180 or 108-135 bpm. See Fitness Safety below.
Before beginning your workout, check your normal resting heart rate. Place your fingers lightly
against your neck, or against your wrist over the main artery. After finding your pulse, count
the number of beats in 10 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by six to determine your
pulse rate per minute. We recommend taking your heart rate at these times; at rest, after
warming up, during your workout and two minutes into your cool down, to accurately track
your progress as it relates to better fitness.
During your first several months of exercising, the AHA recommends aiming for the lower part
of the target heart rate zone-60%, then gradually progressing up to 75%.
According to the AHA, exercising above 75% of your maximum heart rate may be too strenu-
ous unless you are in top physical condition. Exercising below 60% of your maximum will result
in minimal cardiovascular conditioning.
Check your pulse recovery rate – If your pulse is over 100 bpm five minutes after you stop
exercising, or if it’s higher than normal the morning after exercising, your exertion may have
been too strenuous for your current fitness level. Rest and reduce the intensity next time.
Fitness Safety The Heart Rate chart indicates average rate zones for different ages. A variety
of different factors (including medication, emotional state, temperature and other conditions)
can affect the target heart rate zone that is best for you. Your physician or health care profes-
sional can help you determine the exercise intensity that is appropriate for your age and condi-
tion.
(MHR) = Maximum Heart Rate
(THR) = Target Heart Rate
220 - age = maximum heart rate (MHZ)
MHZ x .60 = 60% of your maximum heart rate.
MHZ x .75 = 75% of your maximum heart rate.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your calculations will be as
follows:
220 - 30 = 190
190 x .60 = 114 (low end or 60% of MHZ)
190 x .75 = 142 (high end or 75% of MHZ)
30 year-old (THR) Target Heart Rate would be 114-142
See Heart Rate Table (on next page) for additional calculations.
