You will be asked to place your palm on the hand pulse sensor . TOUCH HANDPULSE SENSOR appears in the
status line .
• Place your hands on the hand pulse sensors . A few seconds later START
MEASUREMENT WITH MODE will appear in the orientation line .
• Press the selection button, then immediately return your hand to the sensor – the calculation is in progress .
Leave your hands on the hand pulse sensors until the calculated values (BMI, BMR an FAT %) appear on the
display . This may take several seconds .
!
To calculate these values the program requires that your hands be placed on the hand pulse
sensors. This is essential, even if wearing a chest strap (optional).
If the hand pulse sensor have difficulty detecting your pulse, the error message ("ERR")
might appear. Moisten your palms and repeat the procedure.
BMI
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a result of Weight (kg) / Height (m)
This value indicates if a person is normal-, over- or under weight . Your BMI can be calculated based on the values
in the charts below .
Normal BMI-values for age groups
Age group Normal BMI
19 – 24 years 19 – 24
25 – 34 years 20 – 25
35 – 44 years 21 – 26

BMI-categories which differ from normal values
(based on the age group 19 – 24)
Category BMI
severely underweight < 15
underweight < 17,5

BMR
The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the amount of energy a body requires daily to sustain it's basic function, as
measured while at complete rest for example while sleeping at a room temperature of 28° C .
Your actual energy consumption (performance volume) is found by multiplying the, calculated BMR-value with
the activity factor (see chart next page) .
Degree of activity
low activity
sedentary job, little to no exercise
normal activity
average job activity 1 – 2 hrs exercise weekly
moderate activity
average job activity, 3 – 4 hrs exercise weekly
active
strenuous job, 4 – 5 hrs exercise weekly
very active
strenuous job, > 5 hrs exercise weekly
!
You can also use this value to check your nutrition and possibly adjust it.
Body fat in %
The body fat in % (FAT %) is a value that determines the proportion of fat in relation to muscle .
Reference values for a good to average body fat proportion in reference to the age and gender can be found in the
chart below .
