USING
HEART RATE TRANSMITTER
How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.
2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to
remain comfortable.
3. Position the transmitter with the logo centred in the middle of your torso facing
away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of
center). Attach the final end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and
using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest.
4. Position the transmitter directly below the pectoral muscles.
5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heartbeat electrical signals.
6. However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval
areas on the reverse side of the belt and both sides of the transmitter). It's also
recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your
workout. Some users, because of body chemistry, have a more difficult time in
achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After "warming up," this problem lessens. As noted,
wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn't affect performance.
7. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong, steady
signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the console to
maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter directly on bare skin assures you of
proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, wet the areas of the
shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.
Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user's heart.
Additionally, it automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the
transmitter is water-resistant, moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should
take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated
transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery is Panasonic CR2032.
ERRATIC
OPERATION
Caution!
Do not use this treadmill for Heart Rate unless a steady, solid Actual Heart Rate value is being
displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem.
Areas to look for interference that may cause erratic heart rate:
1. Microwave ovens, TVs, small appliances, etc.
2. Fluorescent lights.
3. Some household security systems.
4. Perimeter fence for a pet.
5. Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have
problems, try wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented, so the logo
is right-side up.
6. The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source, turning
the whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.
7. Loose treadmill console or bolts in the upright tube.
8. Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3' of your machine's console.
If you continue to experience problems, contact your dealer.
WARNING! - DO NOT USE THE HEART RATE PROGRAM IF YOUR HEART RATE IS NOT
REGISTERING PROPERLY ON THE TREADMILL'S DISPLAY!
