PROBLEM:

Erratic or Inconsistent Readout.

SOLUTION:

This is often caused by dry electrodes or a loose chest strap. Moisture on the

rubber electrodes is required for proper operation. Try a more generous coating of water
on the electrodes and tightening the chest strap.

Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as high power lines,
large motors, etc.

You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:
- Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while
holding onto the heart rate handlebars.
- Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate grips while
exercising.
- When you are breathing heavily during a workout.
- When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
- When your hands are dry or cold. Try moistening your palms or rubbing them togeth-
er to warm.
- Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.
- Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.
- Anyone whose skin on the measuring palms is especially thick.

Note:

Outside interference sources such as computers, motors and fluorescent

lights may cause the heart rate reading to be erratic.

If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem,

discontinue use and turn the power off.

Please contact your local dealer for further assistance.

making sure that the cable is securely inserted into the console.

PROBLEM:

SOLUTION:

Loosen all bolts attached during the assembly process, grease the threads

and tighten again.

PROBLEM:

There is no heart rate reading

SOLUTION: 

If you are using the chest strap, there may be a poor connection between

the electrodes and the skin. Remoisten the electrodes with water.

SOLUTION:

The chest strap may not be positioned properly. Reposition the chest strap.

It may be necessary to experiment with the fit and position of the chest strap.

SOLUTION:

Verify that the distance between the chest strap and the console is not

beyond the recommended range of 36 inches.

SOLUTION:

The battery in the chest strap may be dead. Take the chest strap to a jew-

ellery store or return to Horizon Fitness for a battery replacement.
