Heart Rate Monitoring
Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)
The 460 Model units have heart rate feedback and come standard with stainless
steel pulse hand grips. To activate, gently grasp both hand grips to obtain a
heart rate reading.
(Note: It is recommended to wear a chest strap for Heart Rate control program
as it is more accurate. If you wear a chest strap and use hand grips at the same
time for heart rate monitoring, the console will take the measurement of the chest
strap.)
Pulse Grip Operating T
ips:
If you are not getting a consistent reading while using the hand pulse option, we
recommend the following suggestions:
• Make sure that the palms of the hands are touching the contact area of each
hand pulse grip.
• Maintain an even pressure on the grips.
• Do not hold the hand pulse grips too tightly.
Chest Strap (Optional)
The 460 Model units are also equipped with a built-in receiver for your heart rate
monitoring. To utilize this receiver you will need to wear a heart rate monitoring
chest strap which is Polar® compatible. To get an accurate reading using these
devices, you will need to be within three feet of the console, and a minimum of
four feet from others who are using a heart rate monitoring device.
(Note: The transmitter may fluctuate erratically if you are too close to other heart
rate monitoring equipment.)
The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console of the
Diamondback 460 equipment. When using any heart rate control program, the
computer monitors and attempts to control your heart rate to the desired level.
Heart rate frequency is displayed while the computer continually compares heart
rate to the pr
epr
ogrammed personal data. The computer adjusts wattage (load)
to maintain heart rate at the preprogrammed level.
