HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your workout is too challenging or not challenging enough.
Monitoring heart rate is easy with the STAR TRAC S SERIES Crosstrainer. You may use a heart rate strap (not
provided with the crosstrainer), or you can simply grasp the silver contact heart rate grips.
NOTE:
The Heart Rate monitor is not a medical test, nor is it designed as a medical test. It is simply a guide to
target heart rate training. Please consult with your physician prior to engaging in any strenuous physical activity.
IMPORTANT:
The manufacturer does not warrant the heart rate system performance on this product, as the
heart rate system performance varies, based on a user’s physiology, fitness level, age, method of use and other
factors. Furthermore, the heart rate system is not for medical use.
CONTACT HEART RATE MONITORING
You may use the heart rate contact grips to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps.
1.
Grasp the stainless steel heart rate contact grips; you do not have to squeeze tightly.
2.
It may take from 30 to 60 seconds for the heart rate system to acquire and display your heart rate.
While your heart rate is acquired, a pulsing heart displays in the Profile Window.
3.
Once your heart rate has been acquired, the Profile Window returns to its normal display mode, and
your current heart rate in beats-per-minute (BPM) displays in the HEART RATE Window.
4.
Release the Heart Rate grips if you wish to remove your heart rate reading from the display.
CHEST STRAP HEART RATE MONITORING
You may use the heart rate strap to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps:
1.
Before beginning your workout, or during a pause, moisten the back of the transmitter on the heart rate
strap (not included). Place the strap snugly around your chest with the transmitter resting directly over
your sternum.
2.
When your heart rate has been acquired, your heart rate in beats-per-minute (BPM) displays in the
HEART RATE Window.
3.
Remove the heart rate strap, if you wish to remove your heart rate reading from the display.
NOTE:
The performance of the transmitter may be affected by body types, body oils, metal in clothing, and
outside electrical interference. Always be sure that the transmitter and skin are in good contact. Avoid operating
other electrical equipment near your crosstrainer when you use the heart rate strap.
