Built in Wireless Heart Rate Receiver

Note: Chest strap transmitter does not come with this unit; contact your dealer for purchase

This treadmill is equipped with a built-in receiver for your heart rate monitoring. To get an accurate reading using these devices, you will need to be within three feet of the console, and a minimum of four feet from others using a heart rate monitoring device.

(Note: The transmitter may fluctuate erratically if you are too close to other heart rate monitoring equipment or there is other electronics near by, such as TV, Radio...)

The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console unit of this treadmill. While using heart rate control modes, the computer monitors the exact measurement of your pulse. Heart rate frequency is displayed while the computer continually com- pares heart rate to the preprogrammed personal data. The computer adjusts the wattage to maintain heart rate at the preprogrammed level.

How to Wear Your Sensor/ Transmitter (Chest Strap)

1.Buckle one end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.

2.Adjust the band length so that the fit is snug, but not too tight.

3.Buckle the other end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.

4.Center the transmitter on your chest below the pectoral muscle (breasts).

5.Stretch the transmitter away from your chest and moisten the conductive electrode strips located next to the buckles with water.

(Note: The transmitter is on automatically when being worn. It is off when it is not connected to your body. However, as moisture may activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry the transmitter to prolong battery life.)

Erratic Heart Rate Readings:

Erratic readings on the receiver can be caused by electromagnetic disturbances. If the heart rate readings appear to be abnormal, check that your product is not with- in range of other strong electromagnetic signals. Common sources are televisions, computers, cars, cell phones, TV antennas and high voltage power lines (both above and below ground). Please note: Static electricity in clothing or a flapping shirt can cause electrical interference, so some items of clothing, i.e. man-made fibers, can also be the cause. Please try wetting the t-shirt in the area where the transmitter is.

If the battery of the transmitter is running low, the transmission range decreases and may cause errors similar to the ones listed above in this document.
