USING A WIRELESS CHEST STRAP
TRAIN LESS AND BENEFIT MORE FROM YOUR WORKOUTS
To maximize the benefits from your workouts, you must maintain a sufficiently high heart rate. Target heart rate training takes the
guesswork out of exercising. It provides you with the means to train within safe and effective ranges, all the while maximizing your
exercise time and effort. The wireless heart rate receiver on this model is designed to work with a
Polar compatible
chest strap.
THE WIRELESS CHEST STRAP TRANSMITTER
The PaceMaster Platinum ProClub treadmill comes equipped
with a WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER,
which means,
when wearing a Polar compatible chest strap, it displays pulse
(number of heart beats per minute).
PUTTING ON THE CHEST STRAP
To properly wear your chest strap, adjust the strap to fit snugly
and comfortably around your chest with the electrodes (the
grooved areas) directly over your sternum, as pictured to the right.
For best results, the strap should be worn against skin. Moisture
is necessary for the transmitter to function properly. Usually,
perspiration is sufficient, but you may need to moisten the
electrodes with water.
USING THE CONTACT HEART RATE FEATURE
Prior to your workout:
Insert the magnetic key, adjust your weight, press ENTER.
Follow the instructions for “During your workout”.
During your workout:
Grab on to the front ergo bar with your hands placed over the
silver contact heart rate sensors as shown in the picture to the
right. Contact must be maintained with all 4 sensors to obtain
a heart rate reading. Fours dashes will appear in the TOP
CENTER DISPLAY window indicating that your heart rate is
being acquired. This may take 20 to 30 seconds depending on
the person.
Do not attempt to grasp the sensors at speeds of 4.5 mph (7.2
kph) or greater. For speeds greater than 4.5 mph (7.2 kph)
use a wireless chest strap as described above.
NOTE:
Contact heart rate is disabled if you have activated the
chest strap receiver prior to pressing start. As with the
wireless chest straps there is a small percentage of people that
this feature may not function for.
