How to Use the CardioTrackª Heart Rate Monitor

IMPORTANT: If a user has an implanted medical device such as a pacemaker, the user must check with his or her physician prior to using the heart rate monitor.

The unique CardioTrack heart rate monitor is specially designed for accuracy, comfort, and durability. To get the best performance from the heart rate monitor, please read the instructions below.

HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR

The heart rate monitor consists of two components: the chest strap and the transmitter. Follow the steps below to put on the heart rate monitor.

3.Pull the transmitter away from your body a few inches and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side. The electrode areas are the two long, grooved rectangles. Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the transmitter to a position against your chest.

The instructions on pages 11 to 17 of this userÕs manual explain how the heart rate monitor is used with the console.

1.

Make sure that the heart rate monitor is under your

 

clothing, against your skin, and as high under the

 

pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.

 

Note: If the heart rate monitor does not function

 

when positioned as described, try moving it slightly

 

lower or higher on your chest.

2.

Make sure that the NordicTrack logo on the trans-

 

mitter is facing forwards and is right-side-up.

3.

Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens

 

solution to wet the two electrode areas on the

 

transmitter. If heart rate readings do not appear

 

until you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

1.Refer to the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap through the hole in one end of the transmitter. Press the end of the trans- mitter under the buckle on the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the front of the transmitter.

2.Wrap the heart rate monitor

around your chest and

attach the other end of the chest strap to the

transmitter. Adjust the length of the

chest strap, if necessary. The heart rate monitor should be under your clothing, against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the NordicTrack logo is facing forward and is right-side-up.

4.

As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-

 

self near the center of the walking belt. For the

 

console to display heart rate readings, the user

 

must be within armÕs length of the console.

5.

The heart rate monitor is designed to work with

 

people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate

 

reading problems may be caused by medical

 

conditions such as premature ventricular contrac-

 

tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

6.

The operation of the heart rate monitor can be

 

affected by magnetic interference caused by high

 

power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that

 

magnetic interference may be causing a problem,

 

try relocating the treadmill.

7.

If the heart rate monitor still does not function

 

properly, test it by having another person try it.

8.

The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see

 

page 9).
