2.0 Pulse-rate
This training computer records the pulse rate via the Cardio Puls Set. The
receiver is located on the main board of the display electronics.
Using the Cardio Puls Set
Strap on the chest belt. Follow the instructions for use.

You have set the start display (fig. 4).
The heart symbol (h) flashes in time with your pulse
After a few seconds, the pulse rate is shown as a figure (5).

You have set the start display (fig. 4). Press the
Set
button. You are now in
the Set mode and you can set the desired target figures using the
+
or
- buttons.
When you press the
plus or minus
button and
hold it down
, the set figures
scroll upwards and downwards more quickly.
When you press the
plus and minus
buttons
together
, the
display returns to
"OFF".
To see the
next set figures
, press the
Set
button.
After setting the target pulse rate, press the
Set
button to quit the setting mode.
Any settings you have made are then shown in the display (figs. 17/18).
When you press the Set button and hold it down, the
full display
is shown

Note
If you do not enter any settings for 4 minutes, the display returns to room
temperature (fig. 1).

The
correct exercising pulse rate
The pulse rate during training depends on age and training objective. For
every age and objective there is a "correct" so-called aerobic training area
which is marked by an upper and a lower pulse-rate limit (+/- 10 strokes).
The pulse rate should always be within this aerobic zone. The maximum pulse
frequency (220 minus age in years) must not be exceeded. Healthy persons
should use the following diagrams (see 4.2 also).
Possible pulse settings
The diagram shows the sequence for setting the target pulse rate

4.1 Age input
The age input is for calculating your maximum pulse rate.
When you enter your age, the age-related maximum pulse rate
(formula:
220 - age)
appears in the PULSE display (5).
For entries up to 21 years, only 199 can be shown as maximum pulse rate.
It is calculated with the correct value.
