The Lifepulse
™
System
The patented Lifepulse system sensors (B) are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on this product. For the most
accurate reading possible, during a workout:
• Grasp the sensors firmly.
• Hold each sensors at the midpoint.
• Keep hands steady and in place.
Treadmill
The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors. The following factors
may affect a Lifepulse reading:
• incorrect hand placement on the sensors
• upper body activity, lotion or dirt on hands
• excessive or insufficient pressure when gripping the sensors
NOTE: Do not attempt to grasp the sensors on a treadmill at speeds above 4.5 MPH or 7.2 KPH. For these speeds, the
use of a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is recommended.
Optional Polar

Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap
The Polar telemetry heart rate monitoring system transfers heart rate signals to the console when electrodes are
pressed against the skin. These electrodes are attached to a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap that the user wears
during the workout. The Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is optional. Contact
to order.
See diagram for correct positioning of the Polar telemetry heart rate chest 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 Polar telemetry heart rate chest 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.
However, it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing. If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the Polar
