USING A 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.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE THE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM IF YOUR HEART RATE IS NOT
REGISTERING PROPERLY ON THE TREADMILL’S DISPLAY!
