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.

Heart rate is measured from the hands using the sensors 

located on the handlebars. The sensors measure electric 

impulses, which are formed when a person’s heart beats. 

Measurement is started by touching both handlebar 

sensors simultaneously. To ensure reliable heart rate 

measurement, skin must be slightly moist and skin 

contact with sensors must be continuous. If skin is too 

dry or too wet, the heart rate measurement operation 

from the hands is less reliable. Try to keep your upper 

body and palms relaxed and still.

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.
