Heart Rate (functional only if a heart rate strap is worn and detected)

The Life Fitness Heart Rate program, the most accurate Heart Rate monitoring system available on any treadmill, takes the guesswork out of working out. This revolutionary heart rate management system automatically adjusts your incline to keep you at your appropriate target heart rate while you exercise. Under-training and over-training are eliminated.

NOTE: The Heart Rate program will not activate without acknowledgment from the optional Heart Rate Management System, which includes a chest strap and receiver.

Using the Chest Strap

Wet the electrodes of the transmitter (the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap) and 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 will deliver an optimum heart rate reading when the electrodes are directly in contact with bare skin. Also, it will function properly through wet, lightweight clothing. The key to proper operation is for the electrodes to remain wet to conduct the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiver.

Ifit becomes necessary to moisten the chest strap transmitter, just grasp the center of the transmitter and pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes and moisten them in this position.

Heart Rate Monitor Receiver Installation

A cover plate securing the wire harnesses in place is located on the underside of the handlebar. Beneath the cover plate and immediately behind the emergency stop switch is a 3-pin connector matching the one on the Heart Rate Receiver Unit. It may be necessary to remove the screw noted in the illustration and carefully bend the flexible cover plate to gain access to this connector. DO NOTremove the entire cover plate. Once located, snap the two connectors together.

You will notice four rectangular cutouts on the plate covering the emergency stop switch. These correspond to the four tabs on the housing of the Receiver Unit. Align the cutouts with the tabs and carefully snap the unit securely into place to complete the installation

procedure.
