Using a chest-belt
The computer is equipped with a built-in receiver for the wireless receipt of the pulse freqeun-
cy with a compatible SKANDIKA chest-belt (frequency: 5.3 kHz, not included in the scope of
delivery). Recommended range: 100 - 150 cm.
If you want to transmit your pulse frequency via chest-belt, follow these instructions:
1. Make sure, the correct battery is inserted into the chest belt (button cell of type CR-2032,
3 volts). Battery replacement: Open the battery case cover on the back side of your trans-
mitter (you may use a coin for easier handling) and replace the old battery by a fitting new
one. The „+" symbol should point upwards. Make sure, the sealing ring ist correctly placed.
Close the case cover properly.
2. The transmitter needs to be attached to the belt with the 2 buttons. Moisten the electrodes
slightly before wearing the belt. This increases the contact sensibility and enables a better
wireless signal transmitting.
3. Put on the chest belt and make sure the electrodes are touching your breast directly. You
may adjust the belt to a comfortable length. However, the electrodes must have contact
with your skin in order to measure your heart rate correctly.
4. The 5.3 kHz-chest-belt communicates with the computer via the built-in receiver. It may last
up to one minute before a correct display can be seen.
Safety hint:
Do not use the chest-belt if you have a pacemaker, unless you double-checked with the produ-
cer of the pacemaker and with your doctor!
Battery-Disposal:
Batteries should not be considered as regular garbage. As consumer you are obliged to return
finished batteries. The finished batteries can be returned to a collection base at your residen-
tial area or at places, where batteries can be bought.
Training instructions / warm-up and cool-down
A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise and a cool-down. Exercise
for at least two or preferably three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After se-
veral months, you may increase the frequency to four or five times per week.
WARM-UP
This stage helps to improve the blood circulation and prepares the muscles for your workout. It
additionally helps to reduce the risk of injury or cramps. It is recommended to do some stretching
exercises as shown here below. Hold each stretching position for approximately 30 seconds. Ne-
ver force or jerk yourself into a stretching position – if you feel pain, STOP immediately. Warm-up
exercises may also include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope exercises or running
in place.
STRETCHING
Muscles can be stretched more easily when these are warm. This reduces the risk of injury. DO
NOT BOUNCE.
