IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT HRC

CHAPTER FIVE: HEART RATE CONTROL

The heart rate monitor transmitter strap should be worn according to the guidelines in Chapter 1.

If the transmitter strap is adjusted or moved while exercising, heart rate monitoring may be temporarily affected.

The transmitter strap sends a low-level radio signal to the ESX, TSXa + TSX 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 breathe 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 striding motion.

Two users wearing the same kind of transmitter at the same time and in close proximity may cause false heart rate display readings.
