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 centered in the middle of your
body 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 every
minute heartbeat
electrical signals. 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 work out. 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.
6. 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 programs 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 which may cause erratic heart rate:
1. Treadmill not properly grounded - Proper grounding is a must!
2. Microwave ovens, TV’s, small appliances, etc.
3. Fluorescent lights.
4. Some household security systems.
5. Perimeter fence for a pet.
6. Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you
have problems, try wearing the transmitter upside down.
7. 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.
8. Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3’ of your machine’s console.
