Batavus X4 Betriebsanleitung Seite 7

The chest strap and receiver/adapter are available as
optional extras.
Do not use more than one measuring system at the
same time.
MEASURING PULSE WITH HAND SENSORS
BATAVUS measures pulse with sensors which are
located in the hand supports and which measure
the pulse each time the user touches both sensors
simultaneously.
For reliable pulse measurement, the skin must be
in continuous contact with the sensors and the
skin in contact with the sensors should be slightly
moist. Too dry or too moist skin will impair hand
pulse measurement. Please note also that active
use of the upper body muscles during exercise may
interfere with hand pulse measurement: active
muscles transmit similar electronic signals as the
heart muscle. Therefore, we recommend that arms
be kept relaxed during pulse measurement.
EAR PULSE MEASUREMENT
Fit the ear sensor wire plug into the connecting
1.
point of the meter.
Attach the ear sensor to the earlobe.
2.
If the sensor does not immediately start measuring
your pulse or if the earlobe is cold, rub the
earlobe with the fingers to speed up circulation.
Physiological differences between different people
may also cause disturbances in pulse measurement.
In these cases, try measuring on the inside
surface of the ear or on the tip of your finger. If
measuring disturbances appear while training,
test the functioning of the sensor while stationary.
Strong, unintentional swaying while training
may also disturb measurement. If pulse values
rise above 150 beats/min., earlobe measurement
may be affected by the speeding up of circulation.
Sometimes a strong light source, e.g. a fluorescent
tube, in the immediate vicinity of the user may
cause disturbances in pulse measurement. In this
case, test the functioning of the sensor by turning
the ear sensor the other way round on the earlobe.
Pulse reading can also be affected, if the battery
power of the meter is too low. Clean the ear sensor
after use with a damp cloth.
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT
This equipment has a built in pulse receiver, which
is compatible with a telemetric Batavus Pro Check
pulse transmitter.
If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please
NOTE!
consult a physician before using a wireless heart
rate monitor.
O W N E R ' S M A N U A L
If you want to measure your heart rate this way
during your workout, moisten the grooved
electrodes on the transmitter belt with 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 training, 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 meter up to a distance of about 1 meter. The
heart-rate value is displayed in the meter. Follow
your heart rate during the training.
REMARKS ON TELEMETRIC MEASUREMENT
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 to warm up properly to
ensure accurate heart-rate measurement. If there
are several telemetric heart rate measurement
equipments 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 electro-magnetic
field around them, which will cause problems in
heart rate measurement.
