Be sure to grasp the sensors firmly and keep hands still. If heart rate

 

seems substantially higher or lower than expected, remove hands from

 

sensors until heart rate disappears. Life Fitness recommends that the

 

user stand on the side rails when attempting to monitor heart rate with

 

contact sensors.

The contact heart rate sensors are not

 

 

reading my heart rate correctly.

 

 

Tips for contact heart rate:

 

 

1.

Dry hands to prevent slipping on the sensors.

 

2.

Apply hands to all four sensors (two in each hand).

 

3.

Grasp the sensors firmly.

 

4.

Apply constant pressure to the sensors.
