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.

During this time, the system is analyzing and locking in your heart rate. Within about 15 seconds, your digital heart rate in beats-per-minute (bpm) should be displayed.

Important: The CHR System should only be used at speeds of

4 mph or lower. Above this speed the CHR accuracy is unavoidably unreliable due to large muscle movements.

CONTACT HEART RATE (CHR)

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 and free of both dirt and hand lotions.

A Note on CHR Accuracy

CHR monitoring may be a bit less accurate than a chest strap, since the heart rate signals are much stronger at the chest.

About 5% of the population cannot be picked up by any CHR system. This is because their heart is positioned in a more up-and- down manner in their chest, as opposed to leaning over to one side.

FOR BEST CHR RESULTS

When using a Heart Rate Control 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.
