Console Instructions
In all Heart Rate Control programs, the console only accepts the heart rate signal from the
chest strap transmitter. Make sure that the Heart Rate Receiver is plugged into the side of the
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 that 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. If the console has experienced an error, it will display one 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.
After BODY FAT testing is completed, press the BODYFAT button to continue workout.
Note: For a more accurate reading, hold the handgrip with both hands. This is
especially important in Heart Rate Mode or when performing Body Fat or Fitness Test.
