Heart Rate Monitoring
A. Hand Sensor System
During exercises, grasp the stainless steel sensors on the front handrail to check your
heart rate. Two sensors are located on each of the handrails. Contact must be maintained
with all four sensors to obtain a heart rate. The console displays a heart rate within 20 to
30 seconds of contact with the sensors.
Do not attempt to grasp the sensors at speeds above 4.5 MPH, or 7.2 KPH. For these
speeds, the use of a heart rate chest strap is recommended.
B. The Optional Heart Rate Chest Strap
The treadmill is equipped with a heart rate chest strap sensor, a heart rate monitoring
system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the
treadmill console. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the user wears during
the workout. The chest strap is optional, contact with your dealer to purchase
.

Correct Positioning of the Strap and Wearing Method
S
ee the upper drawing for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the
two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the
electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap
as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to
allow for normal breathing. The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the
electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. It functions properly through a thin layer of wet
clothing. If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the
strap, pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and re-moisten them. During the
setup of a heart rate zone training workout, the user will be required to enter a start-up speed. If a
heart rate chest strap is not detected, the maximum allowable speed is 4.5 mph(7.2km). If a heart
rate chest strap is detected, the maximum speed is
15.6mph(25Km)
