OWNER’S MANUAL
•
T80 T85
•
If you encounter any operational faults during
exercise, grip the handlebar for support and stand on
the landing rails to the left and right of the running
belt. Turn the power switch off and see the instructions
under Malfunctions.
•
If you experience nausea, dizziness or other abnormal
symptoms while exercising, stop your workout at once
and consult a physician.
FINISHING AN EXERCISE SESSION
•
Finish each workout by gradually reducing the speed.
Don’t forget to stretch at the end of the workout.
•
Never leave the safety key in the treadmill.
•
Use the main power switch to turn the unit off.
•
Unplug the electrical cord from the wall outlet and
from the treadmill.
•
If necessary clean the treadmill from sweat with a
damp cloth. Do not use solvents.
•
Store the electrical cord where it is clear from all
pathways and out of childrens’ reach.
HEART RATE
No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results by
training at the right level of effort, and the best measure
is your own heart rate. The most reliable heart rate
measurement is achieved with a telemetric device, in
which the electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the
chest transmit the pulses from the heart to the console
by means of an electromagnetic field.
NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please consult
a physician before using a wireless heart rate monitor.
If you want to measure your heart rate 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 exercising, but not so tight
that normal breathing is prevented. If you wear the
transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt
slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the
shirt. The transmitter automatically transmits the heart
rate reading to the console up to a distance of about 1
m.
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart-rate
reading will not appear on the display. If the electrodes
are dry, they must be moistened again. Allow the
electrodes warm up properly to ensure accurate heart
rate measurement. If there are several telemetric
heart rate measurement devices next to each other,
the distance between them should be at least 1.5 m.
Similarly, 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.
When selecting training attire, please note that some
fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create
static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate
measurement.
Please note that a mobile phone, television and other
electrical appliances form an electromagnetic field
around them, which will cause problems in heart rate
measurement.
First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate
doesn’t increase with added effort. If you don’t know
your maximum heart rate, please use the following
formula as a guide:
220 –AGE
These are average values and the maximum varies from
person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes
on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk
group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart
rate for you.
We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help
you with targeted training.
BEGINNER: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate
Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents
and those who haven’t exercised for a long time.
Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is
recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves
beginners’ respiratory and circulatory performance and
you will quickly feel your improvement.
TRAINER: 60-70 % of maximum heart-rate
Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even
reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively,
training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three
times a week. To improve your condition still further,
increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the
same time!
ACTIVE TRAINER: 70-80 % of maximum heart-rate
Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and
presupposes long-endurance workouts.
