Monitoring

 O: R Y B

When you wear a Polar® or compatible transmitter strap, the bike will display your heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute (bpm) readout.

The transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin, about one inch below the pectoral muscles/breast line (see picture below). Women should be careful to place the transmitter be- low their bra line.

Some moisture is necessary between the strap and your skin. Sweat from your exer- cise works best, but ordinary tap water may be used prior to your workout if desired.
