Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)
The 400 Series products come standard with stainless steel
pulse handgrips. To activate, gently grasp both handgrips to
obtain a heart rate reading.
(Note: (( It is recommended to wear a chest strap for the Heart
Rate control program, as it is more accurate. If you wear a
chest strap and use hand grips at the same time for heart
rate monitoring purpose, please note the console will read
the measurement of the chest strap.)
Operating Tips:
If you are not getting a consistent reading while using the hand
pulse option, we recommend the following suggestions:
• Make sure that the palms of the hands are touching
the contact area of each hand pulse grip.
• Maintain an even pressure on the grips.
• Do not hold the hand pulse grips too tightly.
Chest Strap (Optional)
The 400 Series products are equipped with a built-in receiver
for heart rate monitoring. To utilize this receiver you will need
to wear a heart rate monitoring chest strap which is non-
coded and Polar® compatible. To get an accurate reading
using these devices, you will need to be within three feet of
the console, and a minimum of four feet from others using a
heart rate monitoring device.
(Note: (( The transmitter may fl uctuate erratically if you are too
close to other heart rate monitoring equipment or there is
other electronics near by, such as TV, Radio...)
The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the
console unit of the Diamondback Fitness 400 Series products.
While using heart rate control modes, the computer monitors
the exact measurement of and control over the activity if the
heart. Heart rate frequency is displayed while the computer
continually compares heart rate to the preprogrammed
personal data. The computer adjusts the resistance to
maintain heart rate at the preprogrammed level.
How to Wear Your Sensor/ Transmitter
1. Buckle one end of the chest strap onto the
transmitter.
2. Adjust the band length so that the fi t is snug, but
not too tight.
3. Buckle the other end of the chest strap onto
the transmitter.
4. Center the transmitter on your chest below the
pectoral muscle (breasts).
5. Stretch the transmitter away from your chest and
moisten the conductive electrode strips located
next to the buckles with water.
(Note: (( The transmitter is automatically on when being worn.
It is off when it is not connected to your body. However, as
moisture may activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry the
transmitter to prolong battery life.)
