Fitness Safety:
The Heart Rate chart indicates average heart rate zones for different ages. A
variety of different factors (including medication, emotional state, temperature and other conditions)
can affect the target heart rate zone that is best for you. Your physician or health care professional
can help you determine the exercise intensity that is appropriate for your age and condition.
Heart Rate Monitoring Devices
Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)
The CD400 comes standard with stainless steel pulse handgrips. To activate, gently grasp both
handgrips to obtain a heart rate reading.
Note: It is recommended to wear a chest strap for the Heart Rate control programs, as it is more
accurate. If you wear a chest strap and use hand grips at the same time for heart rate monitoring
purpose, please note the console will take the measurement of the chest strap.
Operating Tips:
If you are not getting a consistent reading while using the hand pulse option, we recommend the
following suggestions:
• Make sure that the palms of the hands are touching the contact area of each hand pulse grip.
• Maintain an even pressure on the grips.
• Do not hold the hand pulse grips too tightly.
Chest Strap (Optional)
The CD400 is equipped with a built-in wireless receiver for your heart rate monitoring. Please
contact your dealer for a compatible chest strap transmitter.
To get an accurate reading using these devices, you will need to be within three feet of the console,
and a minimum of four feet from others using a heart rate monitoring device.
The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console unit.
How to Wear Your Sensor/ Transmitter:
(1) Buckle one end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
(2) Adjust the band length so that the fit is snug, but not too tight.
(3) Buckle the other end of the chest strap onto the transmitter
(4) Center the transmitter on your chest below the pectoral muscle (breasts).
(5) Stretch the transmitter away from your chest and moisten the conductive electrode strips located
next to the buckles with water.
Note: The transmitter is on automatically when being worn. It is off when it is not connected to your
body. However, as moisture may activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry the transmitter to prolong
battery life.
