TELEMETRY HEART RATE
The StairMaster
®
FreeRunner
®
5600 features telemetry (Polar
®
) heart rate
monitoring. The system consists of the receiver, located in the console and a
transmitter belt (purchased separately) worn across your chest. The monitoring
function is activated as soon as you strap on the chest belt and step within range
of the receiver in the machine. Two electrodes on the underside of the chest belt
sense the heart rate signal and send it to the receiver. The heart symbol on the
console pulses to indicate that the console is receiving a valid signal. A micropro-
cessor in the console calculates the heart rate and displays it, in beats per
minute, on the console.
Figure 8: Transmitter Belt
Using the Transmitter Belt
Before you put the transmitter belt on, wet the two electrode patches
(the grooved rectangles on the reverse side of the belt). Secure the transmitter
belt as high under the pectoral muscles (chest) as is comfortable.
PACEMAKER USERS SHOULD NOT USE THE POLAR
TRANSMITTER BEFORE CONSULTING THEIR DOCTOR.
