3.2.6Problem: Heart rate abnormal (Grip-pulse only)
Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as fluorescent lights,
computers, underground fencing, home security systems or appliances containing large
motors. These items may cause erratic heart rate readouts.
You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:

Griping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while
holding onto the heart rate handlebars.

Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate
handlebars while exercising. If you are receiving erratic heart rate readouts, try to
only hold the grips long enough to monitor your heart rate.
