This product features the state of the art in heart rate monitoring technology for athletes combined with a full function cycle computer. The SI 90HR is the worlds first successful wireless cycle computer combined with a heart rate monitor. Like all Sports Instruments heart rate monitors the new Sports Instruments SI 90HR utilizes our exclusive IndePad transmitter for the optimal in comfort and performance. Unlike the transmitters in other heart rate monitors, the conductive rubber pads that pick up the heart rate signal from the body, move independently from the main transmitter housing. This design allows the pads to move freely during exercise assuring smooth and continuous contact with the skin—eliminating erratic readings. 2 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS WARNING: The Sports Instruments SI90HR heart rate monitors are training and fitness tools. Before beginning any exercise program, consult your doctor for a complete physical and to discuss your exercise plans. Bicycle riding is an inherently dangerous activity. ALWAYS: Wear a bicycle helmet when riding at any time ALWAYS: Use front and rear lights when riding at night ALWAYS: Watch where you are going and NEVER take your eyes off of the road. NOTICE TO ALL USERS: High tension power lines, home security systems, automobiles, televisions, microwave ovens, exercise equipment and other product cause various types of interference that may temporarily affect the transmission of heart rate information from the chest strap to the watch unit. These interference’s are usually temporary and can generally be eliminated by moving to an area away from the source of the interference. NOTICE TO PEOPLE WEARING PACEMAKERS: While your heart rate monitor should have no direct effect on your pacemaker, we strongly recommend that you consult your physician or cardiologist before using this product or embarking on an exercise program. english 1 5/18/04 SI90HR_eng 4:03 PM Page 3 HRT CARE & MAINTENANCE ALWAYS: Rinse your Sports Instruments heart rate transmitter off in warm water after every use. NEVER: Lay your Sports Instruments heart rate transmitter on metal surfaces as this can shorten the battery life. NEVER: Store your Sports Instruments heart rate transmitter or receiver in a plastic or other non-breathable container. 4 HOW A HEART RATE MONITOR WORKS Your new Sports Instruments Heart Rate Monitor is a sophisticated athletic training tool that is capable of measuring your heart rate with 99% accuracy. Top quality heart rate monitors use a chest strap to pick up the electrical signal caused by the contractions of the heart and transmit the information to the watch. Every time the heart contracts, a short radio signal is sent from the chest transmitter to the watch. The watch measures the time between the incoming signals, filters and averages them and displays a heart rate number on screen. The heart rate display on the screen is updated every few seconds to assure you of an accurate measurement. english 3 5/18/04 SI90HR_eng 4:03 PM Page 5 HOW A HEART RATE MONITOR WORKS To achieve the most accurate heart rate reading possible, it is important to be aware of circumstances that can cause false signals to enter the system and make your heart rate measurement incorrect. 1 2 Your chest strap should be worn as tightly as possible without being uncomfortable. If the chest strap is not tight enough, movement between it and your body can cause false signals to be generated that may be seen as heart beats by the watch. This is especially true during high impact activities such as running. Environmental factors such as high-tension power lines, home security systems and radio towers may interfere with the ability of the watch to receive a signal from the transmitter. A loss of the heart rate signal and the heart rate display showing zero will usually indicate this. This problem is transient in nature and will stop once you have passed out of the area of interference. 6 HOW A HEART RATE MONITOR WORKS 3 Occasionally if you are using your heart rate monitor in close proximity to other heart rate monitors, it is possible for your watch unit to pick up the signal from the other transmitters as well as yours. This is called cross-talk; when you are experiencing cross-talk you will see a very high heart rate or a heart rate of zero if the combination of heart rates is greater than 240 beats per minute. If this happens simply allow a bit more space between you and the other users. 4 Some clothing fabrics, especially in dry climates, are capable of generating a great deal of static electricity. This static electricity is capable of significantly interfering with the signal from the transmitter. This shows up as erratic readings on the display. Over time you should be able to tell what clothing, if any, you own which cause this problem. Sometimes spraying the clothing before you workout, with a commercially available anti-static product will help reduce the problem. Being aware of these circumstances and knowing how to avoid them will significantly increase your enjoyment of your new Sports Instruments Heart Rate Monitor. english 5 5/18/04 SI90HR_eng 4:03 PM Page 7 W E A R I N G T H E S I I N D E P A D™ TRANSMITTER BELT To ensure a proper heart rate display, the chest transmitter must be moistened and properly adjusted. Wet the back of the rubber pads located to the right and left of the main transmitter case with saliva or ECG conductive gel. Do not use water, moisturizing creams or suntan oil as these are insulators and will interfere with the heart rate signal. Snap the plastic tabs at the end of the elastic belt into the holes at the end of the transmitter and adjust the strap so that the transmitter fits tightly below the pectoral muscles as shown in the photograph. NOTE: The position of the chest strap may affect the performance of the transmitter on some individuals. If you feel that your SI 90HR is not performing properly, try moving the position of the strap on your body slightly. Rubber Pads 8 W E A R I N G T H E S I I N D E P A D™ TRANSMITTER BELT NOTE: Users with a lot of chest hair may have a problem getting contact between the transmitter electrodes and their skin, resulting in poor performance. Because of this it may be necessary for these individuals to shave the area of their chest beneath the transmitter. NOTE: In dry and cold climates it may take a few minutes of use for the electrodes to soften and a layer of perspiration to form between the contact and the skin for good performance. Moistening the electrodes with saliva or ECG conductive gel can speed up this process. english 7 5/18/04 SI90HR_eng 4:03 PM Page 9 THE BATTERY IN THE TRANSMITTER BELT 10 THE PARTS OF THE SI 90HR CYCLE COMPUTER BATTERY SIZE CR2032 3-volt Lithium cell A Your Sports Instruments IndePad transmitter has a user replaceable battery.
