Using a Heart Rate Transmitter
How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:
1.Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.
2.Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable.
3.Position the transmitter with the POLAR logo centered in the middle of your body facing away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the final end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest.
4.Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.
5.Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals. However, plain water can also be used to
6.Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver to achieve a strong steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, moisten the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.
Erratic Operation:
Caution! Do not use this elliptical for Heart Rate Control unless a steady, solid Actual Heart Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem.
Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate:
(1)Microwave ovens, TVs, small appliances, etc.
(2)Fluorescent lights.
(3)Some household security systems.
(4)Perimeter fence for a pet.
(5)Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have problems try wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the spirit logo is right side up.
(6)The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source, turning the whole machine 90 degrees may
(7)If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
