Tunturi E6 Manuel D’Utilisation

a week is better than not at all. The effects of 
exercising will show after just a few weeks. If you’re 
very unfi t, start with a 20 minute workout. Once 
your condition improves, you can train for 30-60 
minutes depending on your goal. 

The best training to improve your general fi tness 
is properly effi cient, not too heavy and not too 
easy. It’s good to sweat while working out, but 
important still to be able to talk comfortably. This 
type of exercise is called aerobic or endurance 
exercise and your body produces the required 
energy by burning body fat with the aid of oxygen. 
This in turn leads to a reduction in fat tissue. No 
matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results 
by training at the right level of effort, and the best 
measure is your own heart rate. First fi nd 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: 

This is an average value and the maximum varies 
from person to person. The maximum heart-rate 
diminishes on average by one point per year. If you 
belong to one of the risk groups mentioned earlier, 
ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate 
for you. We have defi ned three different heart-rate 
zones to help you with targeted training. 

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. 

Perfect for improving and maintaining fi tness. 
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! 

rate 
Exercise at this level suits only the fi ttest and 
presupposes long-endurance workouts. 

Rest is as important as exercise in a fi tness program. 
If you for instance exercise conscientiously for 
three weeks, it’s good to make the following week a 
little lighter. 

This equipment has a built in pulse receiver, 
which is compatible with a Polar telemetric pulse 
transmitter.

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, fi rmly enough so that the 
electrodes remain in contact with the skin while 
pedaling, 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 meter up to a distance of about 
1 meter. The heart-rate value is displayed in the 
meter. Follow your heart rate during the training.

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 to warm up properly to 
ensure accurate heart-rate measurement. If there 
are several telemetric heart rate measurement 
equipments next to each other, the distance 
between them should be at least 

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 fi bers 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 electro-magnetic 
fi eld around them, which will cause problems in 
heart rate measurement.
