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 elliptical 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, T.V.’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 Spirit logo is right side up.
(6) If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
