Horizon Fitness SEMI-RECUMBENT 207 - Manual (Page 38)

Feedback
Your Horizon Fitness semi-recumbent bike offers two heart rate feedback options.
You may choose to use the heart rate handlebars, or the chest transmitter for a
hands free workout.
Heart Rate Handlebar
Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate handlebars. Both hands must
grip the bars for your heart rate to register. When griping the handlebars, do not
grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Try to main-
tain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars. It is recom-
mended that you hold the handlebars only long enough to see your heart rate read-
out on the console. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the
handlebars.
Telemetric Chest Transmitter
Prior to wearing the chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber elec-
trodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles,
directly over your sternum, with the Horizon Fitness logo facing out.
Note: The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and
consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may
receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.
If you have any problems with the heart rate function please refer to pages in the
troubleshooting section.
Warning!
The heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accu-
racy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise
aid.
