HEART RATE MONITORING DEVICES
Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)
The 1190 Model unit is heart rate controlled and comes standard with stainless steel
pulse handgrips. To activate, gently grasp both handgrips to obtain a heart rate read-
ing.
(Note: It is recommended to wear a chest strap for 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 take the measurement of
the chest strap.)
Pulse Grip 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 (Standard)
The 1190 is equipped a built-in receiver and a chest strap for your heart rate mon-
itoring. 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 fluctuate erratically if you are too close to other heart
rate monitoring equipment.)
The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console unit of the
Diamondback 1190 Model unit equipment. 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 wattage
to maintain heart rate at the preprogrammed level.
