Heart Rate
Control
The heart rate monitor transmitter strap provided with your
treadmill should be worn directly against your skin at about one
inch below the pectoral muscles/breast line. Women should be
careful to place the transmitter below their bra line.
Some moisture is necessary between the strap and your skin.
Sweat from your exercise works best, but ordinary tap water may
be used prior to your workout if desired.
If the transmitter strap is adjusted or moved while exercising,
communication may be temporarily affected.
If communication is lost for 30 seconds, the treadmill will
automatically shut off.
The transmitter strap sends a low-level radio signal to the
treadmill, so interference from other radio and sound waves
(including everything from cordless telephones to loudspeakers) is
possible. The good news is that interference is usually quite brief.
If you continue to have intermittent heart rate display problems,
consult your local service technician, as the transmitter strap
batteries may be low.
Make sure you breath smoothly and regularly.
Talking during your workout usually causes heart rate spikes
of five beats per minute or more, so avoid talking as much as
possible.
Maintain a smooth walking or running motion.
A grounded outlet is critical for the HRC system to function
properly. Use a dedicated 115 VAC, grounded outlet to help
prevent interference.
