When using heart rate sensors, make certain to grasp the sensors firmly and keep hands steady. If your heart rate seems
substantially higher or lower than expected, remove your hands from the sensors the until heart rate disappears from
the heart rate display. Dry your hands, and grasp the sensors again until your heart rate seems accurate. If this does not
work, you may need to slow the machine to get an accurate reading. On treadmills, Life Fitness recommends -for safety
and accurate heart rate readings- that you stand on the siderails when attempting to monitor your heart rate with the
sensors.
Optional Polar

Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap
The console is equipped with a wireless heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin,
transfer heart rate signals from the user to the console. The electrodes are inside the chest strap (A) that the user wears
during the workout. 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. The electrodes are two grooved surfaces
on the underside of the strap, and must remain wet to accurately transmit the electrical impulses of the heart back to the
receiver.
To use, first 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. Electrodes must be wet to work properly. If it becomes
necessary to re-moisten, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from your chest to expose the electrodes, and moisten.
See diagram below for correct positioning of the strap.
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
telemetry heart rate chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to expose the two
electrodes, and re-moisten them.
Note: Using the wireless heart rate telemetry chest strap will provide more accurate heart rate readings than the
hand pulse sensors.
