Remote Heart Module (TC5000 Only)
The Remote Heart Module and Heart Rate Transmitter are features on the TC5000 only.
You may use the TC5000 Heart Rate Transmitter or any other Heart Rate Transmitter that is
compatible with the TreadClimber
®
TC5000 to help keep yourself within your target fat-burning
heart rate zone during your workout.
Note:
A Heart Rate Strap with a non-replaceable battery is included. It will work with
Polar
®
watches. To promote contact it should be wet with perspiration, gel or
saliva. To promote maximum life, it must be rinsed with clean water and dried
after each use. A one year life is expected, replacement part T41 is available
from Polar
®
or Nautilus, Inc.
How to Use Your Chest Strap
:
Using the Bowflex
®
TreadClimber
®
heart rate transmitter chest strap, you can monitor your
heart rate at any time during your workout
5. The transmitter will send your heart rate to the TreadClimber
®
machine’s receiver and your Beats Per Minute (BPM)
will be displayed in the HEART RATE display within a matter of several seconds.
6. Always remove the transmitter before cleaning the chest strap. Clean the chest strap regularly with mild soap and
water and thoroughly dry it. Residual sweat and moisture keep the transmitter active and drain the battery in the
transmitter.
Note:
Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol for cleaning, as they can damage the
electrodes permanently.
Replacement chest straps are available by calling your TreadClimber
®
Representative at 1-800-NAUTILUS (1-800-628-8458).
NOTICE: Never immerse the heart Rate Transmitter in water—doing so could permanently damage the
monitor and cause it to malfunction.
If the Heart Rate Transmitter is not sending a signal to your console, check to make certain that the metal electrodes on
the chest strap are connecting with your skin. You may need to lightly wet the circles so
they adhere.
If no signal appears or you need further information, please call a TreadClimber
®
Representative
at 1-800-NAUTILUS (1-800-628-8458).
