WIRELESS CHEST TRANSMITTER

Prior to wearing the strap on your chest, moisten the two rubber contact pads with

several drops of water and spread about with your fingers.

TRANSMITTER STRAP PLACEMENT

Center the Transmitter Strap just

below the breast or pectoral

muscles, directly over your sternum

with the VISION FITNESS logo fac-

ing out.

Adjust the elastic strap length to avoid

bouncing or sliding.

GENERAL HEART RATE TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS

To use the Heart Rate Training program, it is important to determine your target

heart rate zone, using the chart below. After determining your target zone, you

should use the Treadmill in MANUAL mode to see if the target zone you have

selected is correct. This will give you a good base to start your Heart Rate Training.

If you feel your target zone is too low or too high, keep using the Treadmill in the

MANUAL mode until you feel comfortable during your workout; then you can begin

using the Heart Rate Training program.
