OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

HEART RATE TRANSMITTER

The AVARI® Programmable Magnetic Rower can measure how hard you are exercising by monitoring your heart rate with the HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(81). Your heart rate reading gives you a snapshot of how hard your heart is working at that point in your workout by measuring the number of heart beats per minute.

The HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(81) worn around your chest sends your heart rate information to a receiver inside the COMPUTER(15) so your heart rate is tracked while you exercise. This is the most reliable way to measure your heart rate to make sure you are exercising within your target heart rate zone so you get the most out of your workout time.

Using the Heart Rate Transmitter Chest Strap

The HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(81) worn around the chest is powered by a BUTTON BATTERY (CR2032) (85) located in the center of the strap. Two electrodes on either side of the battery monitor your heartbeat, and an adjustable ELASTIC STRAP(82) holds the transmitter in place. The receiver built into the AVARI® Programmable Magnetic Rower picks up your heart rate from the HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(81) and displays it on the monitor during your workout.

To assemble the HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(81), insert the BUTTON BATTERY(CR2032)(85) as shown in the illustration. Place the BATTERY RUBBER RING(83) on the edge of the opening and place the BATTERY COVER(84) over the BUTTON BATTERY(CR2032)(85). Using a coin or similar object, press down on the BATTERY COVER(84) and turn to securely close the cover.

NOTE:

1. Make sure to close the BATTERY COVER(84)very tightly as illustrated to prevent sweat and moisture from damaging the battery.
2. The HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(81) is latex free and its material is appropriate for human contact.

Attach the ELASTIC STRAP(82) by inserting the oval-shaped tabs through the openings in the transmitter and twisting. Adjust the ELASTIC STRAP(82) to fit your chest snugly as shown in the illustration below.

To ensure a secure connection above, be sure that the front edge of the oval- shaped tab is completely inside of the oval-shaped opening on the HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(81).

NOTE: Apply water or conductive gel to moisten the rubber area where with hexagons covering the electrodes. This rubber area must be wet and in contact with your chest skin to properly detect your heart rate.

Transmission LED Indicator
For checking operation of transmitter, the red LED indicator will flash indicating the transmitter is in operation. Adjust the transmitter position to keep the LED indicator flashing consistently for accurate readings. (See illustration below.)

NOTE: If your heart rate is inconsistent or not tracking on your workout console, do the following:

• Moisten the hexagonal rubber areas covering the electrodes on the back of the chest strap and make sure they are in contact with the skin. Your skin may be dry when you begin your workout and the moisture is necessary to ensure contact. As you sweat, contact will improve.
• Tighten the elastic strap so it remains in place as you exercise. Movement of the electrodes will result in inaccurate or erratic signal and readings.
• Clean the electrodes as dirt can interfere with transmission. Use a mild soap and water and dry with a soft towel.

Transmitter Care and Maintenance

• Wash regularly with mild soap and water solution and dry with a soft towel being careful not to abrade the electrodes.
• Store in a cool, dry place. Make sure the electrodes aren’t stored with any wet material and never store a wet transmitter in non-breathable material like a plastic bag or sports bag.
• Do not bend or stretch the transmitter.

NOTE: The frequency of the receiver built into the AVARI® Programmable Magnetic Rower is 5 kHz. All compatible heart rate transmitters from other companies are allowed for use with the AVARI® Programmable Magnetic Rower.

COMPUTER INSTRUCTIONS

Your AVARI® Programmable Magnetic Rower utilizes a magnetic braking system to create resistance for your workout. You control the amount and pattern of this resistance by means of the advanced computer console built into the AVARI® Programmable Magnetic Rower. We recommend that you use this computer console to vary your workout from session to session and note your progress toward your fitness goals. When used regularly in this way, the computer console can become an important source of motivation and interest which will help keep you on track.

TARGET HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM: To use this program, you must wear the HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(81) around your chest so the receiver which is built into the rower registers your heart rate from the HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(81) for working with this program.

Once Program 8 is selected, the PULSE window displays flashing “90” for you to input desired target heart rate, from 90 to 220. The program will monitor your heart rate and adjust the workload automatically during exercise to keep your heart rate within the zone which is plus & minus 5 Heart Beats from the target heart rate you setup.

HEART RATE MONITORING

To get the maximum benefit from your AVARI® Programmable Magnetic Rower workout it is important that you exercise within your target heart rate zone for at least 20 minutes. Research has shown that working out below your target heart rate zone won’t burn fat or improve your cardiovascular fitness, and working above your target heart rate zone is also counter productive.
Everyone has their own target heart rate zone and exercising within that zone should be your goal every time you work out. Finding your personal target heart rate zone is calculated by:

STEP 1: Find your maximum heart rate with this simple formula:

220 – Age = predicted maximum heart rate
Example: A 40-year-old would have a predicted maximum heart rate of 180 beats per minute, 220 – 40 = 180.

STEP 2: Your target heart rate zone is a range that is 55% to 90% of your maximum heart rate.

Predicted Maximum Heart Rate x .55 = lower end of target heart rate zone
Predicted Maximum Heart Rate x .90 = upper end of target heart rate zone
Example: A 40-year-old would have a Target Heart Rate Zone of 99 to 162 beats per minute; 180 x .55 = 99. 180 x .90 = 162.

For more conditioning guidelines to set up the target heart rate for the program, the chart at the right shows the Target Heart Rate Zones estimated by Age.

For cardiorespiratory training benefits, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends working out within a heart rate range of 55% to 90% of maximum heart rate.

USER SETTING PROGRAMS: Program 9 to Program 12 are the automatic programs that allow the user to manually preset each of the 10 intervals. Under STOP mode, use “ / “ and “ENTER” buttons to edit the program profile. The program profile will be stored in the memory after setup. You can modify the profile anytime under the STOP mode. NOTE: The changes can be stored only under STOP mode.
When running a program, you still can use the “ “ button to increase the load level of the program. Use the “ “ button to decrease the load level of the program. These changes will not be stored in memory.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive for several years or are severely overweight, start slowly and increase your workout time gradually. Increase your workout intensity gradually by monitoring your heart rate while you exercise.
Remember to follow these essentials:

• Have your doctor review your training and diet programs.
• Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your physician. Warm up before you exercise and cool down after you work out.
• Take your pulse periodically during your workout and strive to stay within a range of 60% (lower intensity) to 90% (higher intensity) of your maximum heart rate zone. Start at the lower intensity, and build up to higher intensity as you become more aerobically fit.
• If you feel dizzy or lightheaded you should slow down or stop exercising.

Initially you may only be able to exercise within your target zone for a few minutes; however, your aerobic capacity will improve over the next six to eight weeks. It is important to pace yourself while you exercise so you don’t tire too quickly.
To determine if you are working out at the correct intensity, use a heart rate monitor or use the table below. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 60% and 90% of your maximum heart rate. If just starting an exercise program, work out at the low end of your target heart rate zone. As your aerobic capacity improves, gradually increase the intensity of your workout by increasing your heart rate.

Measure your heart rate periodically during your workout by stopping the exercise but continuing to move your legs or walk around. Place two or three fingers on your wrist and take a six second heartbeat count. Multiply the results by ten to find your heart rate. For example, if your six second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute. A six second count is used because your heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising. Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is at the proper level.

Target Heart Rate Zone Estimated by Age

For cardiorespiratory training benefits, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends working out within a heart rate range of 55% to 90% of maximum heart rate. To predict the maximum heart rate, the following formula was used: 220 – Age  predicted maximum heart rate

WARM-UP and COOL-DOWN

Warm-Up The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm up for two to five minutes before strength training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope, and running in place

Stretching:
Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because of their elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds. Do not bounce.

Suggested Stretching Exercises

Remember to always check with your physician before starting any exercise program.

Cool-Down: The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal, or near normal, resting state at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to return to the heart. Your cool-down should include the stretches listed above and should be completed after each strength training session.
