USING
HEART RATE TRANSMITTER
(Optional)
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 centered in the middle
of your body facing away from your chest (some people
must position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach
the final 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 immediately below the pectoral muscles.
5.
Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat 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 work out.
Some users, because of body chemistry, have a more difficult time in 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 - distance between transmitter/receiver – to
achieve a strong steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but
generally stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable
readings. Wearing the transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of
proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so,
moisten 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 fitness bike for Heart Rate Control unless a steady, solid Actual
Heart Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed
indicate a problem.
Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate:
1.
Microwave ovens, TV’s, small appliances, etc.
2.
Fluorescent lights.
3.
Some household security systems.
4.
Perimeter fence for a pet.
5.
Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If
you have problems try wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter
will be oriented so the logo is right side up.
6.
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.
7.

If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
