Heart Rate Features

Important Safety Instructions

Read the following before using the heart rate or SmartRate features.

Consult your physician before engaging in any vigorous exercise. Do not use the heart rate programs until authorized by your physician.

Know your heart rate and your physician-recommended heart rate target zone.

Using the Touch-Sensitive Grips

Note: While exercising, you must grasp both touch- sensitive grips for a minimum of five to ten seconds to transmit your heart rate to the display.

Note: Handheld 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.

To use the handheld heart rate feature place the palm of your hands directly on the metal heart rate sensors on the unit’s handlebars. To ensure a more accurate heart rate readout, make sure you follow these tips.

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 make it difficult to read your heart rate.

Make sure that the sensors are clean to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

As you work out, your perspiration will help in transmitting your heart rate signal. If you are having difficulty using the handheld grips to determine your heart rate, try the sensors again later in your workout to see if you can get a heart rate signal.
