Using the Touch Heart Rate Feature

Note: Touch heart rate performance may vary based on a user’s physiology, fitness level, age, and other factors. You may experience an erratic readout if your hands are dry, dirty, or oily, or if the skin on your palms is especially thick. Wearing hand lotion can also cause an erratic readout. In addition, make sure that the sensors are clean to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

To use the touch heart rate feature, place the palm of your hands directly on the metal heart rate sensors on the equipment’s handlebars. To ensure an accurate heart rate readout, make sure you follow these tips:

Both hands must grip the sensors for your heart rate to register.

It takes a number of consecutive heartbeats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register.

When gripping the sensors, do not grip tightly. Keep a loose, cupping hold. Holding the grips tightly can affect the reading.
