HEART RATE READING IS ERRATIC OR ABSENT ENTIRELY

•Repeat the electrode moistening procedure. See Section 3.2, titled Heart Rate Monitoring for details. The electrodes must remain wet to pick up and transmit accurate heart rate eadings.

•Make sure the electrodes are flat against the skin.

•Wash the belt transmitter regularly with mild soap and water.

•Make sure the chest strap transmitter is within three feet, or one meter, of the heart rate receiver.

•The chest strap is battery-operated and will stop functioning when the battery runs out. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services for instructions on how to have the chest strap replaced. See section 6.5, titled How to Obtain Product Service.

If the chest strap is worn near sources of electromagnetic signals, these signals may be strong enough to affect heart rate readings. Possible sources include:

•Television sets and/or antennas, cell phones, computers, cars, high voltage power lines and motor driven exercise equipment.

•Another heart rate transmitter within three feet, or one meter, may also cause abnormal heart rate readings.

•Apply hands to both sensors, one in each hand.
