Heart Rate Monitoring Devices
Optional Accessory: Chest Strap
The R88 is equipped with a built-in wireless 5k receiver for your heart rate monitoring transmitter.
Please contact your dealer to purchase a compatible 5k chest strap transmitter, if you would like to
use more wireless heart rate features.
To get an accurate reading using these devices, you will need to be within three feet of the console,
and a minimum of four feet from others using a heart rate monitoring device.
The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console unit.
How to Wear Your Sensor/ Transmitter:
(1) Buckle one end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
(2) Adjust the band length so that the fit is snug, but not too tight.
(3) Buckle the other end of the chest strap onto the transmitter
(4) Center the transmitter on your chest below the pectoral muscle (breasts).
(5) Stretch the transmitter away from your chest and moisten the conductive electrode strips located
next to the buckles with water.
Note: The transmitter is on automatically when it is being worn. It is off when it is not connected to
your body; however, as moisture may activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry the transmitter after
every use to prolong battery life.
Chest Strap Troubleshooting: No heart rate reading

If transmitter was just strapped on, wait a few minutes so that the transmitter gets a good connection
with your body. When you start to sweat the connection will improve.

While wearing the transmitter, adjust the strap to get a different position.

Check that the elastic strap is tight enough around your body.
9
Check that the electrodes on the transmitter are moistened properly.
9
Check that the transmitter electrodes are clean.

Check to see if battery is still working. The estimated average battery life of the transmitter is 600
hours of use. If the battery of the transmitter is running low, the transmission range decreases and
may cause errors similar to the ones listed above.
