1Grasp the stainless steel heart rate contact grips; you do not have to squeeze tightly.
2When a heart rate has been detected, the 
icon displays in the Information Window, indicating a calculation is taking place.
3When your heart rate has been acquired, the 
icon will begin pulsating, and your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) will be displayed in the Information Window continuously.
4Release the Heart Rate grips if you wish to remove your heart rate from the display.
NOTE: Contact heart rate may not give accurate BPM.

You may use a heart rate strap ( not included) to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps:
1Before beginning your workout, or during a pause, moisten the back of the transmitter on the heart rate strap (not included). Place the strap snugly around your chest with the transmitter resting directly over your sternum.
2When a heart rate has been detected, the 
indicator illuminates, indicating a calculation is taking place.
3When your heart rate has been acquired, the 
indicator will begin pulsating, and your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) will be displayed in the Heart Rate Window continuously.
4Remove the heart rate strap if you wish to remove your heart rate from the display.
NOTE: The performance of the transmitter may be affected by body types, body oils, metal in clothing, and outside electrical interference. Always be sure that the transmitter and skin are in good contact. Avoid operating other electrical equipment near your TreadClimber® when you use the heart rate strap.
