Troubleshooting Heart Rate

Table 7 may help you understand and troubleshoot erratic heart rate readings.

Important: A heart rate can only be detected when the EFX is turned On and you wear the chest strap or hold on to both touch-sensitive handrail grips.

To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, both touch-sensitive handrail grips must be grasped firmly for five to ten seconds. Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver in the display console. However, because of body chemistry or erratic heartbeats, some people cannot use the heart rate feature. A chest strap may provide better results. Refer to the QuickStart Card for proper placement of the chest strap.
