Heart Rate Armband
A Bluetooth
®
Heart Rate Armband is provided with your fitness machine. To use the Bluetooth
®
Heart Rate Armband, follow the instructions that were included with the Armband.
If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor before using a Bluetooth
®
armband or other Bluetooth
®
heart rate monitor.
Note:
Be sure to remove the protective cover (if provided) from the Heart Rate Sensor before use.
1. Put the Bluetooth
®
Heart Rate Armband onto the upper portion of your forearm.
2. Confirm that the Bluetooth
®
wireless connection is active on the machine. If the Bluetooth
®
icon is blue, then it is active.
If the icon is red, then the Bluetooth
®
wireless connection must be activated. To activate the Bluetooth
®
wireless connection:
a. Tap the Bluetooth
®
icon.
b. Tap “Manage Bluetooth
®
”.
c, Slide the option from “OFF” to “ON”.
d. Tap Back to exit.
3. When ready to exercise, start your workout.
4. Push the On/Off LED button on the Heart Rate Armband. Be sure to only push the On/Off LED button once.
5. During your workout, the Heart Rate Armband may take up to 60 seconds to connect. When connected, the Bluetooth
®
Heart Rate Device icon will be displayed
along with your heart rate.
Note:
The Armband can only be connected once to an active workout. If the On/Off LED button is pushed after being connected, the workout must be restarted.
Bluetooth
®
Audio (in or out)
Your machine is able to play audio across a Bluetooth
®
connection from your smart device through the console speakers. The machine can also stream audio from the console to your
Bluetooth
®
device (such as Bluetooth
®
headphones).
Note:
Bluetooth
®
audio can only be streamed in one direction (in or out) at a time.
Contact Heart Rate Sensors
Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stainless steel parts of the Handlebars. To use, put your hands comfortably
around the sensors. Be sure that your hands touch both the top and the bottom of the sensors. Hold firm, but not too tight or loose. Both hands must make contact with the sensors for the
Console to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.
Once the Console has your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10 to 15 seconds. The Console will now validate the heart rate. Many factors influence the ability of the
sensors to detect your heart rate signal:
• Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with pulse detection. Slight hand movement while in contact
with the sensors can also produce interference.
•
Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.
• Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.
•
The proximity of other electronic machines can generate interference.
Use the values calculated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only.
Media Rack (Optional Accessory)
An optional accessory can be added to your fitness machine that will hold additional media above the Console. The optional Media Rack easily
attaches to your machine, adding more space for media and devices.
To order the optional Media Rack, contact Customer Service (if in US/Canada) or your local distributor (if outside US/Canada).
