Heart Rate Monitors
KEEP YOU SAFE
Exercising too hard can put you at risk for injury. A heart rate monitor reminds you of the safe and effective heart rate
intensity at which you should exercise and warns you when your workouts go too far.
KEEP YOU IN YOUR ZONE
If you want to reach your exercise goals, it’s important to stay in your THRZ during workouts. A heart rate monitor is your
constant reminder of the intensity and quality of each workout session.
SAVE YOU TIME
Our heart rate monitor is wireless and easy to use, so you can view valuable heart rate information at any time during exercise
without interrupting or stopping your workout.
GIVE YOU ACCURATE FEEDBACK
Our heart rate monitor is more accurate so you know exactly what your level of exercise intensity is during workouts.
Pulsemeters have a high margin for error. Manual pulse measurements during exercise can result in errors as high as plus or
minus 15 beats per minute, with the risk of potential error increasing as heart rate increases.
The Executive Trainer includes two separate heart rate monitoring systems: The wireless heart rate chest strap transmitter and
the AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate.
Wireless Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter (shown below)
To use the Wireless Chest Strap follow these steps:
Secure the Chest Strap
Center the transmitter on the chest as high under the pectoral muscles
(breasts) as possible. Tighten the strap so that the belt is as tight as
possible without being uncomfortable.
Apply Cardio Gel to the Electrodes
A tube of Landice Cardio Gel was shipped with your Executive Trainer
treadmill. Pull the belt away from your chest and apply a small dab to
each electrode. This will ensure a strong electrical contact between the
transmitter and your chest.
The Heart Rate Transmitter works best against bare skin. Since sweat (saltwater) is an electrical conductor, the transmitter will
work over a T-shirt if the shirt is wet with sweat. If you are having trouble getting an accurate pulse reading, try wearing the
belt against bare skin.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The transmitter activates when the belt is properly wetted. In order to conserve battery life, wipe the electrodes dry when not
in use. Clean monthly with mild soap and water and wipe dry. Do not use abrasives in cleaning, as they can cause permanent
damage to the electrodes. Do not bend or stretch the electrode strips, especially when storing the belt transmitter.
