Heart Rate Monitoring
The 700 Series units offer a number of options for monitoring your
heart rate while you exercise. In addition to hand pulse grips, the
700 Series units also have a built in receiver that can read the signal
from Polar compatible heart rate monitors. To make this function
even easier for you to utilize, a chest strap that will monitor your
heart rate and transmit it to the console is included with each unit.
Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)
Each 700 Series unit comes standard with stainless steel pulse hand
grips. To activate, gently grasp both hand grips to obtain a heart
rate reading. For best results when using the hand grips we recom-
mend the following suggestions:
•
Make sure that the palms of the hands are touching the contact
area of each hand pulse grip.
• Maintain an even pressure on the grips.
• Do not hold the hand pulse grips too tightly.
(Note: If you choose to wear a chest strap for monitoring purposes,
please note the console will take the measurement of the chest strap,
as it is more accurate.)
Chest Strap (Standard)
The 700 Series console includes a built-in receiver which will work
with most manufacturers’ chest straps. To get an accurate reading
using these devices, you will need to be within three feet of the
console, and a minimum of four feet from others using a heart rate
monitoring device.
(Note: The transmitter may fluctuate erratically if you are too close
to other heart rate monitoring equipment.)

There are three parts to the Heart Rate System on the Diamondback
700 Series equipment:
1. Sensor / Transmitter
2. Chest Band / Strap
3. The Receiver
The sensor component needs to be in contact with a smooth, steady
section of the user’s skin. The chest band or strap is necessary to
keep the sensor contact in place during exercise. The receiver of
the wireless ECG system is built into the console unit of the Dia-
mondback 700 Series equipment. Scroll through to the PULSE dis-
play option to have your heart rate shown in the display window.
How to Wear Your Sensor/ Transmitter
1. Buckle one end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
2. Adjust the band length so that the fit is snug, but not too tight.
3. Buckle the other end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
4. Center the transmitter on your chest below the pectoral muscle
(breasts).
5. Pull unit away from chest by stretching the belt and moisten the
conductive electrode strips located next to the buckles. If you
wish to wear the band over a shirt, moisten the shirt under the
area of the electrode strip.
Note: The transmitter is on automatically when being worn. It is off
when it is not connected to your body. However, as moisture may
activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry the transmitter to prolong
battery life.

within 5:00 minutes, the unit will power off and all program infor-
mation will be lost.
