 Heart Rate Armband

Your fitness machine is provided with a Bluetooth

®

 Heart Rate Armband. When the Bluetooth

®

 Heart Rate 

Armband is connected, the Console will display the Bluetooth

®

 Connected icon. 

If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor before 

using a Bluetooth

®

 armband or other Bluetooth

®

 heart rate monitor.

The Heart Rate Armband should be worn on the upper portion of your forearm, with the Heart Rate Sensor 

to the inside of your forearm. It should be snug enough not to move around on your arm, but not so tight that 

it restricts blood circulation.

 

Note: 

 Be sure to remove the protective cover from the Heart Rate Sensor before use.

1.   Put the Bluetooth

®

 Heart Rate Armband onto the upper portion of your forearm.

2.   Push the On/Off LED button on the Heart Rate Armband to activate it. The LED will flash 

blue quickly, indicating that the armband has been activated. 

3.   The LED will flash blue slowly when a heart rate is detected. The Bluetooth

®

 Connected 

icon will activate on the Console when connected. You are ready to workout.

At the end of your workout, push the On/Off LED button to disconnect and deactivate your Heart 

Rate Armband. 

If you press the On/Off LED button and the LED flashes red several times, the 

battery is low and should be charged. To charge the Bluetooth

®

 Heart Rate 

Armband, connect the Charging Cable to the Charging Terminals on the inside 

of the Sensor. Connect the Charging Cable to a powered USB Port. The LED 

will flash red and green while charging. When fully charged, the LED will be 

green continuously. 

Contact Heart Rate Sensors

Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stainless steel parts of the Handlebars. 

To use, put your hands comfortably around the sensors. Be sure that your hands touch both the top and the bottom of the sensors. Hold firm, but 

not too tight or loose. Both hands must make contact with the sensors for the Console to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse 

signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.

Once the Console has your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10 to 15 seconds. The Console will now validate the heart rate. 

Many factors influence the ability of the sensors to detect your heart rate signal:

•  Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with pulse detection. Slight 

hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.

•  Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.
•  Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.
•  The proximity of other electronic machines can generate interference. 

Use the values calculated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only.
