The 550 ZTX treadmill (models HRC and CI) can monitor your
heart rate when you wear the transmitter strap provided. It
will display it as a digital beats-per-minute readout, and it is
very accurate, typically
within one beat per
minute.
Although your treadmill functions fine without using the heart
rate monitoring feature, this kind of monitoring gives you
valuable feedback on your effort level. It also allows you to
use the most advanced training system available on a
treadmill: True's Heart Rate Control, where the treadmill
automatically adjusts your workout level based on your heart
rate. See the Heart Rate Control section of this manual for
details.
The transmitter strap should be
worn directly against your skin,
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.
