Heart Rate Monitors
Every elliptical comes with AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate Grips that can be used
in place of the wireless chest strap.
ContACt grIPS
(shown on right)
To use the Contact Grips follow these steps:
Grab the contact grips.
After about 5-10 seconds your heart rate will be read, but will not be displayed
automatically.
To view your heart rate, change the display option to PULSE or have the display
scan through each option including PULSE.
Once you release the grips the heart rate reading will disappear until contact is
made with the grips again.
Note: If you are wearing the wireless chest strap, the AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate Grips will override the wireless signal while your
hands are on the grips. Once you release the grips, the elliptical will default back to the wireless signal.
The contact grips are designed to reliably operate up to approximately 70 RPM. Higher speeds can cause the user’s hands to shift and
hinder the heart rate signal acquisition. For the most reliable results, use the wireless chest strap.

To use the Wireless Chest Strap follow these steps:
SECurE thE ChESt StrAP
Center the transmitter on the chest as high under the pectoral muscles (breasts) as possible. Tighten the strap so that the belt is as tight
as possible without being uncomfortable.
APPly CArdIo gEl to thE ElECtrodES
A tube of Landice Cardio Gel was shipped with your elliptical. Pull
the belt away from your chest and apply a small dab to each electrode.
This will ensure a strong electrical contact between the transmitter and
your chest.
The Heart Rate Transmitter works best against bare skin. Since sweat (saltwater) is an electrical conductor, the transmitter will work over a
T-shirt if the shirt is wet with sweat. If you are having trouble getting an accurate pulse reading, try wearing the belt against bare skin.
CArE And MAIntEnAnCE
The transmitter activates when the belt is properly wetted. In order to conserve battery life, wipe the electrodes dry when not in use.
Clean monthly with mild soap and water and wipe dry. Do not use abrasives in cleaning, as they can cause permanent damage to the
electrodes. Do not bend or stretch the electrode strips, especially when storing the belt transmitter.
