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.

3.Pull the transmitter away lrom your body a few inches and locate the two electrode areas on the

HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

The instructions on pages 11 to 17 of this user's manual explain how the heart rate monitor is used

with the console. If the letters "PLS" appear in the

PULSE display, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low when the heart rate moni- tor is used, try the trouble-shooting steps below.

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 NordlcTrack 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.

4, As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your- serf near the center of the walking belt. For the console to display heart rate readings, the user must be within arm's 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 [t 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).
