Remote Heart Module (TC5000 Only)

The Remote Heart Module and Heart Rate Transmitter are features on the TC5000 only. You may use the TC5000 Heart Rate Transmitter or any other Heart Rate Transmitter that is compatible with the TreadClimber® TC5000 to help keep yourself within your target fat-burning heart rate zone during your workout.

Note: A Heart Rate Strap with a non-replaceable battery is included. It will work with Polar® watches. To promote contact it should be wet with perspiration, gel or saliva. To promote maximum life, it must be rinsed with clean water and dried after each use. A one year life is expected, replacement part T41 is available from Polar® or Nautilus, Inc.

How to Use Your Chest Strap: Using the Bowflex® TreadClimber® heart rate transmitter chest strap, you can monitor your heart rate at any time during your workout:

1.The heart rate transmitter is attached to a chest strap to keep your hands free during your workout.

Attach the transmitter to the elastic chest strap.

2.Adjust the strap length to fit snugly and comfortably against your skin. Secure the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and buckle it.

3.Lift the transmitter off your chest and moisten the two grooved electrode areas on the back.

4.Check that the

wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin.

5.The transmitter will send your heart rate to the TreadClimber® machine’s receiver and your Beats Per Minute (BPM) will be displayed in the HEART RATE display within a matter of several seconds.

6.Always remove the transmitter before cleaning the chest strap. Clean the chest strap regularly with mild soap and water and thoroughly dry it. Residual sweat and moisture keep the transmitter active and drain the battery in the transmitter.

Note: Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol for cleaning, as they can damage the electrodes permanently.

Replacement chest straps are available by calling your TreadClimber® Representative at 1-800- NAUTILUS (1-800-628-8458).

Never immerse the Heart Rate Transmitter in water—doing so could permanently damage the monitor and cause it to malfunction.

If the Heart Rate Transmitter is not sending a signal to your console, check to make certain that the metal electrodes on the chest strap are connecting with your skin. You may need to lightly wet the circles so they adhere.

If no signal appears or you need further information, please call a TreadClimber® Representative at 1-800-NAUTILUS (1-800-628-8458).
