USING
HEART RATE TRANSMITTER
(optional)
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. 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.
6. 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 fitness bike for Heart Rate Control 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.
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. Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3’ of your machine’s console.
If you continue to experience problems, contact your dealer.
