Heart rate monitoring

Remote Heart Monitor

Monitoring your Heart Rate is one of the best ways to control the intensity of your exercise.

This feature is built into the TC5300/TC6000.

The TC5300/TC6000 uses a Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter to send your Heart Rate signals to the console. The console displays your Heart Rate in “beats per minute’ in the lower-middle window of the display.

The Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter is included. It is a Polar® model T34. The battery in the T34 is not replaceable.

How to Use Your Chest Strap

Using the Bowflex® TreadClimber® fitness machine heart rate transmitter chest strap, you can monitor your heart rate at any time during your workout:

1.The heart rate transmitter is attached to a chest strap to keep your hands free during your workout.

Attach the transmitter to the elastic chest strap.

2.Adjust the strap length to fit snugly and comfortably against your skin. Secure the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and buckle it.

3. Lift the transmitter

4. Check that the

areas on the back.

 

5.The transmitter will send your heart rate to the TreadClimber® fitness machine’s receiver and your Beats Per Minute (BPM) will be displayed in the HEART RATE display within a matter of several seconds.

6.Always remove the transmitter before cleaning the chest strap. Clean the chest strap regularly with mild soap and water and thoroughly dry it. Residual sweat and moisture keep the transmitter active and drain the battery in the transmitter.

Note: Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol for cleaning, as they can damage the electrodes permanently.

Replacement chest straps are available by calling your TreadClimber® Representative.

If the Heart Rate Transmitter is not sending a signal to your console, the PULSE display will show 3 dashes. Check to make certain that the textured contact areas on the chest strap are contacting with your skin. You may need to lightly wet the contact areas. If no signal appears or you need further information, please call a TreadClimber® Representative.
