TROUBLESHOOTING - HEART RATE

Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as fluorescent lights, computers, underground fencing, home security systems or appliances containing large motors. These items may cause erratic heart rate readouts.

You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:

•Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.

•Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate handlebars while exercising. If you are receiving erratic heart rate readouts, try to only hold the grips long enough to monitor your heart rate.

•When you are breathing heavily during a workout.

•When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.

•When your hands are dry or cold. Try to moisten your palms by rubbing them together to warm.

•Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.

•Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.

•Anyone whose skin on the measuring palm is especially thick.

If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem, discontinue use and turn the power off.

PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER TECH SUPPORT AT THE NUMBER ON THE BACK PANEL.

The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these items readily available:

•Model Name

•Serial Number

In order for Customer Tech Support to service your treadmill they may need to ask detailed questions about the symptoms that are occurring. Some troubleshooting questions that may be asked are:

•How long has this problem been occurring?

•Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?

•If you are hearing a noise, does it come from the front or the back? What kind of noise is it (thumping, grinding, squeaking, chirping etc.)?

•Has the machine been lubricated and maintained per the maintenance schedule?

Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts and the service necessary to get you and your Horizon Fitness treadmill running again!
