HEART RATE
MONITOR
STEP 1
To fit the Heart Rate Monitor, proceed as
follows:
Attach one end of the elasticated Strap to one
end of the Sensor Strip as shown. Turn the
end of the elasticated strap 90° and insert lug
through the rear of the hole in the end of the
monitor strip.
STEP 2
Then turn back through 90° and press on the
circular lug so that it is flush with the front of
the Sensor Strip.
STEP 3
Attach the other end of the elasticated strap
to the Sensor Strip. If necessary, the length of
the elasticated strap can be adjusted using the
adjustment buckle.
FITTING A HEART RATE MONITOR
If the Monitor fails to detect a heartbeat, moisten the electrodes on the back of the `strip (two ridged rectangular blocks) with a wet
finger and try again.
NOTE: The sensor strips must be placed against your skin (Manufacturer’s insignia facing outwards), otherwise it may not detect a
heartbeat. The Chest Strap must not be rotated ( i.e. The writing should appear the right way up), except in certain individuals who
have a ‘reversed’ EGG (this condition is extremely rare).

NOTE: When the chest strap monitor is used it automatically overrides any signal from the hand pulse monitors. If the battery fails (it
has an estimated life in excess of three years) then the plastic strip must be replaced. If you wish to monitor your heart rate, you
should always fit the heart rate monitor before you select one of the exercise programs.
