Pulse measurement is based on the monitoring of 
peripheral circulation. The handgrip sensors in the 
handlebars take a pulse measurement when the 
user is touching both sensors simultaneously. Pulse 
measurement requires that the skin is constantly 
touching the sensors and that the skin is slightly moist.

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. 

 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. 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. If there are several telemetric 
heart rate measurement devices next to each other, 
the distance between them should be at least 1.5 m. 
Similarly, if there is only one receiver and several 
transmitters in use, only one person with a transmitter 
should be within transmission range. 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.

First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate 
doesn’t increase with added effort. If you don’t know 
your maximum heart rate, please use the following 
formula as a guide:

These are average values and the maximum varies from 
person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes 
on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk 
group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart 
rate for you. 

We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help 
you with targeted training.

 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate

Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents 
and those who haven’t exercised for a long time. 
Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is 
recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves 
beginners’ respiratory and circulatory performance and 
you will quickly feel your improvement.

60-70 % of maximum heart-rate

Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even 
reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively, 
training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three 
times a week. To improve your condition still further, 
increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the 
same time!

70-80 % of maximum heart-rate

Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and 
presupposes long-endurance workouts.

Allows you to set your effort level with the arrow keys 
during the workout. 

Saves and recalls manual programs.

This program contains ready-made training profiles. 
The program changes automatically the intensity level 
during your workout. The display shows the profile and 
the changes, and the intensity can be manually adjusted.

This program allows you to preset your effort level (in 
watts), i.e. pedaling effort is independent of pedaling 
speed and remains exactly at the preset level. As the 
pedaling speed increases the resistance is reduced and 
vice versa. The set value can be changed also during 
the workout. The display shows the effort level and the 
changes in effort. You can choose the effort level to your 
liking with arrow keys.

This program allows you to test your condition safely 
and reliably.

This program allows you to preset your pulse level, i.e. 
the resistance is regulated so that your pulse remains at 
the requested level. If the pulse tends to rise, resistance is 
reduced automatically and vice versa. The set value can
