Heart rate Cruise Control
While in any workout, set your current heart rate as your target heart rate by pressing the HRC CRUISE
CONTROL key.
User Defined Workouts/Settings:
Heart Rate Monitoring:
This treadmill can monitor your heart rate using either the chest strap provided with the treadmill or the
metal grips on the hand rails (called contact heart rate or CHR pads). A chest strap transmits your heart rate
to the treadmill via radio, and the CHR pads connect to a special computer circuit to extract your heart rate.
Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitoring:
Although this treadmill functions fine without using the heart rate monitoring
feature, this kind of monitoring gives you valuable feedback on your effort
level. Chest strap monitoring also allows you to use Heart Rate Control, the
most advanced exercise control system available.
When you wear a Polar® or compatible transmitter strap, the treadmill will
display your heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute (bpm) readout.
The transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin, about one inch
below the pectoral muscles/breast line (see picture). Women should be careful
to place the transmitter below their bra line.
Some moisture is necessary between the strap and your skin. Sweat from your
exercise works best, but ordinary tap water may be used prior to your workout
if desired.
