Chest Strap Operation (Optional)

Your Endurance
®
T100 Treadmill has the capability to determine Heart Rate with the use
of a Heart Rate Chest Strap. It is available as an optional accessory for use with your unit
depending on the Endurance
®
model purchased. In all Heart Rate Control programs, the
console only accepts the heart rate signal from the chest strap transmitter while the pulse
grip heart rate function is disabled. The requirement to wear the chest strap is due to the
superior accuracy of a chest strap transmitter compared to the pulse grip sensors.
It is suggested for the Chest Strap Transmitter that you position the transmitter as close to
your heart as possible, against the skin, 1-2 inches below the pectoral muscles. For best
results, moisten the back of the transmitter for better contact.

1.
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that all users of this unit have read the Owner’s
Manual and are familiar with warnings and safety precautions.
2.
Do not place chest strap near devices that generate large magnetic fields. TV
sets,
electric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can affect the transmitter’s perfor
-
mance. These items can interfere with the heart rate signal and possibly affect the heart
rate readings on the console.
3.
Handle the Chest Strap with care. Dropping the transmitter might cause damage that
could void the warranty.
4.
Do not use the chest strap if you have a cardiac pacemaker or if your are taking
medi-
cations for a heart condition. Medication or electrical pulses from the pacemaker can
interfere with accurate heart rate readings.
5.
Do not bend the strips inside the chest strap. This can cause the chest strap to loose
conductivity.
6.
The chest strap has batteries that need to be replaced periodically. A faulty battery can
cause inaccurate reading.
