THE POLAR® TELEMETRY HEART RATE MONITORING CHEST STRAP

The Polar® heart rate monitoring system transfers heart rate signals to the console when electrodes are pressed against the skin. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap and telemetry electrodes are optional. To order, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services (see page 1 of this manual).

See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiv- er. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.

The transmitter strap delivers an accurate heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct cont act with skin. However, it also functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.

If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and moisten them.

NOTE: If the Lifepulse system sensors are grasped while the chest strap is worn, and if the signals from the sensors are valid, the on-board computer uses the sensor signals for measuring the heart rate instead of those transmitted with the chest strap.
