USING HEART RATE TRANSMITTER
How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking
parts.
2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not
too tight to remain comfortable.
3. Position the transmitter with the logo centred in the middle of
your body facing away from your chest (some people must
position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the end of
the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the
locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your
chest.
4. Position the transmitter directly below the pectoral muscles.
5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure every minute heartbeat
electrical signals. However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2
ribbed oval areas on the reverse side of the belt and both sides of the transmitter). It's
also recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your
workout. Because of body chemistry, some users have a more difficult time achieving a
strong, steady signal at the beginning. After "warming up," this problem lessens. As
noted, wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn't affect performance.
6. Your workout must be within range - the distance between transmitter/receiver – to
achieve a strong, steady signal. The length of the range may vary somewhat but
generally stay close enough to the console to maintain good, solid, and reliable readings.
Wearing the transmitter directly on bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you
wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, wet the areas of the shirt that
the electrodes will rest upon. Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it
detects activity from the user's heart. Additionally, it automatically deactivates when it
does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water-resistant, moisture can
have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry
the transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500
hours). The replacement battery is Panasonic CR2032.
ERRATIC OPERATION
Caution! Do not use this Rower for Heart Rate programs unless a steady, solid Actual
The heart rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed
indicate a problem.
Areas to look for interference that may cause erratic heart rate:
1. Rower not properly grounded - Proper grounding is a must!
2. Microwave ovens, TVs, small appliances, etc.
3. Fluorescent lights.
4. Some household security systems.
5. Perimeter fence for a pet.
6. Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you
have concerns, try wearing the transmitter upside down.
7. The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise
source, turning the whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.
8. Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3' of your machine's console.
