THE HEART RATE CHEST STRAP

A heart rate chest strap allows the on-board, Polar® telemetry heart rate feature of this product (optional for CT 8500 in the U.S.A. and Canada) to continuously monitor the heart rate and in many workouts adjusts aspects of the workout such as resistance level. To order a chest strap, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services.

Wet the transmitter electrodes (A) (the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap) and secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.

The transmitter strap will deliver an optimum heart rate reading when the electrodes are directly in contact with bare skin. However, it will function properly through wet, lightweight clothing.

The key to proper operation is for the electrodes to remain wet to transmit the electrical impuls- es of the heart back to the receiver.

If it becomes necessary to remoisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, then moisten them in this position.

NOTE: For CT 9500HR, if the Lifepulse sensors are grasped while the chest strap is being worn, the signals from the sensors, if valid, are used as the heart rate indication over the chest strap.
