Heart Rate Monitors
WOODWAY treadmills are equipped with a heart rate measurement system. This can be used with
numerous compatible heart rate transmitters, i.e. POLAR
®
measuring device (GymLink compatible).
In order to display the user’s heart rate accurately, the built
-in receiver must receive a stable heart
rate signal from the transmitter.
Heart rate measuring systems consists of three main elements:
•
Sensor/transmitter
•
Chest strap/belt or sport watch
•
Measuring device/console
The receiver for the wireless system is installed in the measuring device assembly or the console
display. When in operation the display shows the heart's activity in beats per minute (BPM).
WARNING
Danger of Electrical Disturbance!
Using the transmitter from the heart rate monitor in conjunction with
an electric pacemaker may cause electrical interference and influence
the functionality. This could cause a health hazard.
►
Never
use the heart rate monitor together with an electric pace-
maker.

Applying the Chest Strap
The transmitter should be applied centrally below the chest muscles. After the belt is fastened, pull it
away from the chest by stretching the strap and moistening the conductive electrode strips which are
located below the buttons. The transmitter operates automatically while it is worn. It does not work
if the connection between the transmitter and the body is broken.

Positioning
The sensor/transmitter is to be worn below the chest and above the abdomen, preferably directly on
the skin (not over clothing), logo to the outside. Moisten the contact surface of the transmitter in
order to transmit the best signal possible from the body to the measuring device.
