USING THE HEART RATE fUNCTION
Your exercise bike could be equipped with either heart rate pulse grips or a thumb pulse sensor. To find out what your model has,
refer to the beginning of the assemblY section of your owneR’s manual.
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. over exercise
may result in serious injury or death. if you feel faint stop exercise immediately. while heart rate grips or a thumb pulse sensor
can provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary.
some people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like
a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The
heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
pUlSE GRIpS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. it
takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. when gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip
tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout
if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.
do not press excessively hard on the sensor as this may cause damage.
CAUTION
WIRElESS HEART RATE RECEIVER
some exercise bikes also include a built-in wireless heart rate receiver.
when used in conjunction with a
wireless chest transmitter
, your
heart rate can be transmitted wirelessly to the exercise bike and
displayed on the console. Your exercise bike may or may not include a
wireless chest transmitter (see the beginning of the assemblY section
of your owneR’s manual).
Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten
the two rubber electrodes with water. center the chest strap just
below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with
the logo facing out. noTe: The chest strap must be tight and properly
placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. if the chest strap
is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or
inconsistent heart rate readout.
