The F 400 has a built in pulse receiver which is compatible
with a POLAR telemetric pulse transmitter, sold as an
optional extra. If you want to measure your pulse 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
pedalling, but not so tight that normal breathing is prevented.
The heart symbol beside the pulse value flashes in time with
the user’s heartbeat.
N.B. IF YOU HAVE A HEART PACEMAKER, YOU MAY
USE THE PULSE MEASUREMENT TRANSMITTER ONLY
ON A PHYSICIAN'S APPROVAL!
If you wear the transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten
the shirt slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the
shirt.
REMARKS ON
TELEMETRIC PULSE MEASUREMENT
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the pulse reading
will not appear on the display. If the electrodes are dry,
they must be moistened again. Allow the electrodes to warm
up properly to ensure accurate pulse measurement.
If there are several telemetric pulse measurement devices
next to each other, the distance between them should be at
least 1.5 m. Similarily, 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.
To prevent any extra pulses coming from the ear sensor,
unplug the ear sensor when you use the telemetric pulse
meter.
MAINTENANCE
The F 400 requires very little maintenance. Check, however,
from time to time that all fastening screws and nuts are tight.
Clean the cycle with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents.
If the cycle is transported long distances without packing it,
the position of the brake caliper may change, for example,
due to vibration. To check the position of the brake caliper
in relation to the flywheel, proceed as follows:
Lean the cycle on its side so that it rests against e.g. a chair
and you can see under the cycle easily. Adjust the resistance
to maximum by turning the resistance adjustment knob to its
extreme clockwise position. Check that the limiter screw
(hex screw) of the brake caliper lever has not moved. If the
brake caliper lever does not touch the limiter screw with the
resistance at maximum, turn the adjustment nuts of the
resistance adjustment wire until the lever touches the limiter
screw. Lift the cycle back to the upright position.
If the resistance still seems too small, proceed as follows:
Loosen the fastening screw of the grey top cover and the
seven screws of the white side covers and remove the side
covers. Adjust the resistance to maximum by turning the
resistance adjustment knob to its extreme clockwise position.
Lean the cycle on its side so that it rests against e.g a chair
and you can easily reach the control mechanism of the
resistance adjustment wire under the frame.
N.B. Take your watch off before the following step, as it
may be damaged by the magnetic field of the brake
mechanism.
Push the approximately 1 mm thick plastic calibration strip
between the magnetic caliper and the flywheel. If the brake
caliper magnets are clearly further than 1 mm away from the
flywheel rim, first open the locking nuts of the limiter screw
and move the limiter screw slightly by turning the screw
while holding the nuts at the same time (Fig. 6). Retighten
the locking nuts of the limiter screw. Turn the adjustment
nuts of the resistance adjustment wire, so that the magnet
caliper is just in contact with the plastic strip with the
resistance at maximum.
N.B. Make sure you do not make the adjustment nuts too
tight.
Remove the calibration strip, lift the cycle into the upright
position and replace the side and top covers.
CHANGING BATTERIES
If the meter display fades considerably or completely,
change the batteries. Pull the meter out and remove the old
batteries from the holder at the back of the meter. Push the
new batteries into the holder (2 x 1.5 V AA) and push the
meter back into its place at the top of the handlebar support
tube.
If you notice a malfunction during use, contact the
dealer. Always give the serial number of your device!
In spite of continuous quality control, individual defects and
malfunctions may occur due to individual components. It is
in most cases unnecessary to take the whole device for
repair, as it is usually sufficient to replace the defective part.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Move the cycle according to the following instruction: stand
behind the cycle, grip the seat with one hand and the
handle-bar with the other. Lift the cycle so that it rests on the
transportation wheels and move it by wheeling. Lower the
cycle onto the floor while holding on to the handlebar and
remaining all the time behind the cycle.
To prevent malfunctioning of the cycle, store in a dry place
with as little temperature variation as possible, protected
against dust.
