3.2HEART RATE MONITORING
THE TELEMETRY HEART RATE CHEST STRAP (OPTIONAL)
The Bally exercise bike can be equipped with telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the exercise bike console. These electrodes are attached to a heart rate chest strap that the user wears during the workout. Telemetry and the chest strap are optional. To order them, contact Customer support. See section 6.4, titled How to Obtain Product Service.
See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiv- er. Moisten the electrodes. Then, 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 delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with skin. However, it also functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.
