USING CONTACT HEART RATE

CHAPTER ONE: RIDING YOUR BIKE

The CHR system lets you monitor your heart rate without wearing a strap.

Gently grasp the contact heart rate pads as shown below.

When the system detects your hands, a red heart will appear in the Heart Rate field of the data display and will flash in time with your heart beat. During this time, the system is analyzing and locking in your heart rate. Within about 15 seconds, your digital heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) should be displayed.

A Note on CHR Accuracy

CHR monitoring may be a bit less accurate than a chest strap, since the heart rate signals are much stronger at the chest.

About 5% of the population cannot be picked up by any CHR system. This is because their heart is positioned in a more up-and-down manner in their chest, as opposed to leaning over to one side.
