NOTE: If the heart rate is not displayed, or appears to be incorrect, adjust the Heart Rate Chest Strap for
improved conductivity, or have the patient reposition both hands on the heart rate handle bar. (You may
want to take the user’s pulse rate manually and compare it against the displayed heart rate to confirm
accuracy. Eldery patients may need to use hand cream or water to improve signal strength.)
The following chart depicts standard Target Heart Rate ranges for optimum cardiovascular
benefit. While this chart may be used as a guide for heart rate-healthy users, clinicians must be
sure to set the Target Heart Rate based on individual patient protocol.
CAUTION: When prescribed for therapeutic purposes, a physician should clearly define the para-
meters of use (i.e., total work, maximum heart rate, etc.) to reduce the risk of patient injury.
ATTENTION: Quand l’appareil est untilisé en thérapue, le médecin responsable do it définir les
paramétres spécifiques en patient pour limiter tout rique et nnotamment le travail total et la
fréquence cardiaque.
