960 Ef Owner’s Manual
Workout guidelines (continued)
1
. Always stretch before your workout to loosen muscles, and afterwards to cool down.
2. The first few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warming up muscles
before a vigorous workout, and building your heart rate slowly.
3. After your aerobic workout of about 24-32 minutes, spend 10 minutes gradually
reducing your heart rate with a lower resistance level.
Remember, to start slow, with intensity low, until you build endurance and strength.
And always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program.
HEART RATE MONITORING DEVICES
Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)
The 960Ef unit is heart rate controlled and comes standard with stainless steel pulse
handgrips. To activate, gently grasp both handgrips 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 purpose, please note the console will take the measurement of
the chest strap.)
Operating Tips:
If you are not getting a consistent reading while using the hand pulse option, we rec-
ommend 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 (Standard)
The 960Ef is equipped with a built-in receiver and a chest strap for your heart rate mon-
itoring. 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 using a heart rate monitor-
ing device.
(Note: The transmitter may fluctuate erratically if you are too close to other heart rate
monitoring equipment or if there are other electronics near by, such as
TV, Radio...)
The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console unit of the Diamondback
960Ef equipment. While using heart rate control modes, the computer monitors the
exact measurement of and control over the activity of the heart. Heart rate frequency is
displayed while the computer continually compares heart rate to the preprogrammed
personal data. The computer adjusts the wattage to maintain heart rate at the prepro-
grammed level.
How to Wear Your Sensor/ Transmitter
1. Buckle one end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
2. Adjust the band length so that the fit is snug, but not too tight.
3. Buckle the other end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
4. Center the transmitter on your chest below the pectoral muscle (breasts).
5. Stretch the transmitter away from your chest and moisten the conductive electrode
strips located next to the buckles with water.
(Note: The transmitter is on automatically when being worn. It is off when it is not con-
nected to your body. However, as moisture may activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry
the transmitter to prolong battery life.)
