CONTACT HEART RATE

CHAPTER ONE: BASIC OPERATION

The contact heart rate (CHR) system lets you monitor your heart rate without wearing a

strap.

Gently grasp the contact heart rate pads as shown in picture. When the system detects your hands, the Heart Rate label will start flashing in time with your heart beat. During this time, the system is analyzing and locking

in your heart rate. Within

approximately 15 seconds, your digital heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) should be displayed.

For Best CHR Results:

1.Exercise with smooth body motions.

2.Breathe smoothly and regularly, and avoid talking. (Talking will cause unrepresentative heart rate spikes of 5 to 10 bpm.)

3.Grip the pads lightly, not tightly.

4.Make sure your hands are clean, free of both dirt and hand lotions.

When using a HRC workout, it is best to use chest strap monitoring. These workouts work best with the extra accuracy gained from a chest-contact heart rate monitoring system.
