Monitoring Your Heart Rate

FEEDBACK

Your Horizon Fitness recumbent bike offers two heart rate feedback options (chest strap not includ- ed). You may choose to use the heart rate handlebars, or the chest transmitter for a hands free work- out.

HEART RATE GRIPS

Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate grips. Both hands must hold the grips for your heart rate to register. When holding the grips, do not hold tightly. Holding the grips tightly may ele- vate your blood pressure. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate grips. It is recommended that you hold the grips only long enough to see your heart rate readout on the con- sole. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grips.

TELEMETRIC CHEST TRANSMITTER (Not included)

Prior to wearing the chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. Note: The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an errat- ic or inconsistent heart rate readout.

If you have any problems with the heart rate function please refer to in the troubleshooting section.

WARNING

WARNING!

The heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid.
