Using the Touch Heart Rate Sensors
While the unit is powered‐on and a workout program is operating, gently grasp both touch heart rate sensors
on the handlebar. The computer will detect your pulse rate and register the value as a two or three digit
number in the PULSE window on the LCD display.
NOTE: If an inconsistent heart rate is displayed while using the hand pulse sensors:
 Ensure the palms of both hands are touching the contact areas of the touch heart rate sensors.
 Maintain constant and even pressure on the grips. Do not clutch the sensors tightly.
 Try to keep both hands still while griping the touch heart rate sensor.
 Make sure the contacts are clean.
 Try moistening the palms of your hands.
Using the Wireless Heart Rate Receiver
In general, a wireless heart rate chest strap is the most accurate and convenient method of detecting and monitoring a heart rate signal and is
a considerable upgrade from the touch type heart rate sensors. Occasionally, certain factors can negatively affect the accurate transmission of
the heart rate signal. WiFi networks, cordless telephones and large electrical appliances may degrade or corrupt the signal so that the rate
appears erratic or impossibly high. The only remedy for such a symptom is to isolate the unit from potential disturbances. Additionally, a
person’s body chemistry or lack of perspiration can prevent the chest strap from providing a
strong or accurate heart rate signal
A wireless telemetry heart rate receiving system is one feature found on this unit. In order
for the console to detect and display your heart rate wirelessly, four (4) conditions must be
present:
 A compatible heart rate chest strap transmitter (not included) must be functioning
and worn. For proper function of the chest strap, please refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Non‐coded transmitters such as the Polar model T31
and T34 are examples of wireless chest straps known to be compatible with this
unit.
 The unit must be powered on.
 A workout program must be running.
 The user is within three (3) feet of the console.
