FUNCTIONS
Using a 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. However, plain water can also be used to
pre-wet the electrodes (2 black square areas on the reverse side of the belt and either side of 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 elliptical 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, T.V.’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 Spirit logo is right side up.
(6) If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
Heart Rate Control Program 1 & 2 (HR 1, HR 2) operation
Both programs operate the same, the only difference is that HRC 1 is set to 60% and HRC 2 is set to 80% of maximum heart
rate. They both are programmed the same way.
To start the
HRC 1 or HRC 2 programs follow the instructions below or just press the HRC 1 or HRC 2 button then the
Enter button and follow the directions in the message window.
1. Press the HRC 1 or HRC 2 key then press the Enter key.
2. The message window will ask you to enter your Age . You may enter your Age, using the Up and Down keys, then
press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.
3. You are now asked to enter your Weight . You may adjust the Weight number using the Up and Down keys or the
numeric key pad, then press enter to continue.
4. Next is Time . You may adjust the Time and press enter to continue.
5. Now you are asked to adjust the Heart rate Level. This is the heart rate level you will experience during the program.
Adjust the level and then press enter.
6. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start key. You can also go back
and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key.
NOTE: At any time during the editing of data you can press the Stop key to go back one level, or screen.
7. If you want to increase or decrease the work load at any time during the program press the Up or Down key. This will
allow you to change your target heart rate at any time during the program.
8. During the HRC 1 or HRC 2 programs you will be able to scroll through the data in the message window by pressing
the
Enter key.
9. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again or Stop to exit the program or you can save
the program you just completed as a custom user program by pressing a User key and following the instructions in the
message window.
Maintenance:
1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.
2. If a squeak, or rough feeling, develops the cause is most likely dirt build-up on the rear rails and poly-urethane wheels.
Clean the rails and wheels with a lint free cloth and rubbing alcohol. Then apply a small amount of lubricant on the rails
with your fingers or a lint free cloth.
3. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled. There are 4 leveling pads on the bottom of the
rear rails, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust the levelers.
