3.2HEART RATE MONITORING

3.2.1THE POLAR® HEART RATE CHEST STRAP

The standard Heart Rate Chest Strap allows the on-board, Polar® compatible, telemetry heart rate feature of this product to continuously monitor the heart rate and in many workouts adjusts aspects of the workout such as resistance level.

Wet the transmitter electrodes (A), the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, and secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.

The transmitter strap will deliver an optimum heart rate reading when the electrodes are directly in contact with bare skin. However, it will function properly through wet, lightweight clothing.

The key to proper operation is for the electrodes to remain wet to transmit the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiver.

If it becomes necessary to remoisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, then moisten them in this position.
