HAND-GRIP PULSE MEASUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS

On this model the pulse rate is measured by placing both hands on the hand grip sensors, 

located on the handlebar. When both hands are placed on the hand grip sensors the heart 

symbol on the right hand side of the screen, marked PULSE, will begin to flash and after 

10-15 seconds a heart rate reading will be displayed. If both hands are not contacting the 

sensors then the pulse function will not work. If a «P» appears on the screen or the heart 

symbol does not flash, make sure that both hands completely touch the metal portions of 

the grips.

TEST MEASUREMENTS:

This monitor is equipped with a recovery test function. This offers you the advantage of 

being able to measure how long it takes your heart rate to recover after having finished the 

exercise. Upon finishing the exercise leave your hands on the pulse sensors and press the 

«Recovery» button, this will start a one minute countdown. Only the Time and Pulse rate 

function read-outs will remain displayed. The electronic device will measure your pulse rate 

during this minute. The heart rate recovery time will be displayed on the heart rate line. If, 

at any time during this minute, you decide to abandon this test then press the «Recovery» 

button and this will take you back to the main screen. When the minute is up, the monitor 

will work out the difference and your fitness rating will be displayed on the screen: «F1, 

F2,..., F5, F6»; where «F1» is the best (fitness «Excellent») and «F6» the worst (fitness «Very 

Poor»). Pressing the RECOVERY button will take you back to the main screen, where the 

functions will be in the same mode as when the test began. The comparison between the 

exercised heart rate and the recovery heart rate provides a fast, simple method of gauging how 

fit you are. Your fitness rating is a guideline that shows you how fast your heart recovers after 

a physical exertion. If you exercise regularly then you will see your fitness rating improve. 

The test does not work unless you continuously hold the grips for 1 minute.
