Repeat the electrode wetting procedure. See Section 3.2, titled
How to Use the Optional
Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap

accurate heart rate readings.
Make sure the electrodes are flat against the skin.

Make sure the chest strap transmitter is within three feet (one meter) of the heart rate
receiver.
The chest strap is battery operated and will eventually stop functioning. If the chest
strap transmitter battery is depleted, contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services at
