USING
HEART RATE TRANSMITTER
How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.
2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not
too tight to remain comfortable.
3.
Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of
your body facing away from your chest (some people must
position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the final end of
the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking
parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest.
4.
Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.
5.
Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals.
6.
However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on
the reverse side of the belt and both sides of the transmitter). It’s also recommended
that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users,
because of body chemistry, have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady
signal at the beginning. After “warming up”, this problem lessens. As noted, wearing
clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn’t affect performance.
7.
Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a
strong steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close
enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the
transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish,
you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, moisten the areas of the shirt that the
electrodes will rest upon.
Note
: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart.
Additionally, it automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the
transmitter is water resistant, moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should
take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated
transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery is Panasonic CR2032.
ERRATIC
OPERATION
Caution!
Do not use this treadmill for Heart Rate unless a steady, solid Actual Heart Rate
value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem.
Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate:
1.
Microwave ovens, TV’s, small appliances, etc.
2.
Fluorescent lights.
3.
Some household security systems.
4.
Perimeter fence for a pet.
5.
Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have
problems try wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the logo
is right side up.
6.
The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source,
turning the whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.
7.
Loose treadmill console or bolts in the upright tube.
8.
Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3’ of your machine’s console.
If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
WARNING! - DO NOT USE THE HEART RATE PROGRAM IF YOUR HEART RATE IS NOT
REGISTERING PROPERLY ON THE TREADMILL’S DISPLAY!
