Contact Heart Rate
When using Contact Heart Rate make certain to grasp sensors firmly and keep hands still. If heart rate seems
substantially higher or lower than expected, remove hands from sensors until heart rate disappears. Dry hands
and grasp sensors again until heart rate seems accurate. If this does not work you may need to slow the machine
to get an accurate reading. On treadmills we recommend for safety and accurate heart rate readings that the user
stand on the siderails when attempting to monitor heart rate with contact electrodes.
Note: The contact heart rate system may be less or more accurate with different individuals.
