TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT
The console has a heart rate receiver, so
you can also use uncoded heart rate belts
for heart rate measurement. The most
reliable heart rate measurement is achieved
with a telemetric device, in which the
electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the
chest transmit the pulses from the heart to
the console by means of an electromagnetic
field.
NOTE!
If you are fitted with a pacemaker,
please consult a physician before using a
wireless heart rate monitor.
If you want to measure your heart rate
this way during your workout, moisten the
grooved electrodes on the transmitter belt
with saliva or water. Fasten the transmitter
just below the chest with the elastic belt,
firmly enough so that the electrodes remain
in contact with the skin while exercising,
but not so tight that normal breathing is
prevented. Attach the transmitter and adjust
the flexible belt to an appropriate tightness
below chest level so that the electrodes are
in contact with the skin during exercise. If
you wear the transmitter and belt over a light
shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the points
where the electrodes touch the shirt. The
transmitter automatically transmits the heart
rate reading to the console up to a distance
of about 1 m.
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the
heart-rate reading will not appear on the
display. If the electrodes are dry, they must
be moistened again. Allow the electrodes
warm up properly to ensure accurate
heart rate measurement. The transmitter
is switched to an active state only when
it is being used for measurement. Sweat
and other moisture can, however, keep the
transmitter in an active state and waste
battery energy. Therefore it is important to
dry the electrodes carefully after use.
When selecting training attire, please
note that some fibers used in clothes
(e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static
electricity, which may prevent reliable heart
rate measurement. Please note that a
mobile phone, television and other electrical
appliances form an electromagnetic field
around them, which will cause problems in
heart rate measurement.
ROWING MOTION
Tighten the footstraps. Take a grip on the
bar and start the rowing stroke by leaning
slightly forward, with the knees bent and
the arms straight. Push yourself backwards
straightening your back and your legs
simultaneously. Continue the movement until
you lean slightly backwards and flex your
armsat the same time. Return to the starting
position, lean forward and straighten your
arms.
