Heart Rate Monitoring

three : Basic Operation

Monitoring

Your Heart

Rate

The Z8 and Z9 Series (except the Z8 and Z9 Non) can monitor your heart rate when you wear the transmitter strap provided.

It will display it as a digital beats-

per-minute readout, and itis very accurate, typically within one

beat per minute.

Using the

Heart Rate

Transmitter

Strap

Although the 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.
