HEART RATE TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: There is no heart rate reading.
SOLUTION: Remove the console and verify that the heart rate cables are attached properly, making sure that the cables are securely inserted into the console.
YOU MAY EXPERIENCE AN ERRATIC READOUT UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
•Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.
•Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate grips while exercising.
•When you are breathing heavily during a workout.
•When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
•When your hands are dry or cold. Try moistening your palms or rubbing them together to warm.
•Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.
•Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.
•Anyone whose skin on the measuring palms is especially thick.
NOTE: Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as high power lines, large motors, etc. Outside interference sources such as computers, motors and fluorescent lights may cause the heart rate reading to be erratic.
If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem, discontinue use and turn the power off.
