Exercise at this level suits only the fi ttest and
presupposes long-endurance workouts.
Rest is as important as exercise in a fi tness program.
If you for instance exercise conscientiously for
three weeks, it's good to make the following week a
little lighter.

Pulse is measured by sensors in the handlebars.
Pulse is measured when the user of E4 is touching
both sensors simultaneously. Reliable pulse
measurement requires that the skin is constantly
touching the sensors and that the skin is slightly
moist. Too dry or too moist skin weakens the
reliability of hand pulse measurement.
The E4 meter has a heart rate receiver compatible
with Polar equipment, so you can also use Polar
uncoded heart rate transmitter belts for heart
rate measurement. The transmitter belt may be
purchased as an accessory.

If you want to measure your heart rate this way
during your workout, moisten the grooved
electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or
water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest
with the elastic belt, fi rmly enough so that the
electrodes remain in contact with the skin while
pedaling, 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.

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
6
70-80 % of maximum heart
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 fi bers 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
fi eld around them, which will cause problems in
heart rate measurement.

Allows you to set your effort level with the arrow
keys during the workout.
2 . WAT T C O N T RO L
This program allows you to preset your effort level
(in watts), i.e. pedaling effort is independent of
pedaling speed and remains exactly at the preset
level. As the pedaling speed increases the resistance
is reduced and vice versa. The set value can be
changed also during the workout. The display
shows the effort level and the changes in effort.
You can choose the effort level to your liking with
arrow keys.
3 . P RO G R A M S
This program contains ready-made training
profi les. The program changes the effort / heart
rate level during your workout. The display shows
the profi le and the changes.
