FS10.5 Pro344.5 Heart rate measuringPulse measuring through hand sensorsThe hand sensors integrated in the handles allow you to determine your heart rate. You can measureyour heart rate by lightly grasping the sensors with both hands at the same time. Blood pressurechanges occur due to the heartbeat. The sensors measure the changes to the electric skin resistancecaused by it. These values are then used to create an average and are displayed on the screen of theconsole as a heart rate.Note:For some people, the skin resistance change caused by the heart rate is so minimal that themeasurements do not allow for usable values. Strong callus or sweat on the hands may also impair acorrect measurement. In such cases, the heart rate will not be shown at all or only incorrectly.If the measurement is incorrect or not taken at all, please check if it happens to only one person or toseveral people. If the pulse display only does not work in a single case, the equipment is not defective.In this case, we recommend using a chest strap to achieve a permanently correct heart rate display.CAUTION: Your training equipment is not a medical device. Different factors may influence theaccuracy of the heart rate display. The heart rate display only serves as a training aid.Telemetric heart rate measuringThis elliptical cross trainer is already equipped with a heart rate receiver as standard. Using a cheststrap makes it possible for you to have a wireless heart rate measuring. This optimal and ECG-precisetype of measuring reads the heart rate directly from the skin through a transmitting chest strap. Thechest strap then sends the impulse to the receiver integrated in the console.Positioning the chest strap and moistening the electrodes:Place the belt directly below the chest, while the transmitter should be placed on the middle of thechest. The chest strap should sit comfortably, but not too loose. If the belt is too loose, the contactto the electrodes may be disrupted or the belt may slip while exercising. The transmitter turns onautomatically once it is put on. In order to allow for a precise measuring, you should moisten therubber electrodes. This is best done with a special chest strap contact gel, which is also used forultrasound scans.Note:If you have not been active in doing sports for a longer period of time, you should first go to yourphysician in order to discuss your training with them. You should also contact your physician inadvance in the event of heart problems, high/low blood pressure and obesity.Training with heart rate orientationHeart rate orientation guarantees an extremely effective and healthy training. Through your ageand the following table, you can quickly and easily read and determine the optimal pulse for yourtraining. An alarm will sound if your heart rate exceeds the set target heart rate. Which target heartrate is important for which training goal can be found out in the following.
