3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING
THE LIFEPULSETM DIGITAL HEART RATE MONITORING SYSTEM
The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system. For the most accurate reading pos-
sible, during a workout:
• Grasp the sensors (A) firmly.
• Hold each sensor at the horizontal (treadmill, recumbent bike and upright bike) or vertical midpoint (cross-trainer
and upright bike).
• Keep hands steady and in place.
The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors. The following factors may
affect a Lifepulse reading: incorrect hand placement on the sensors, upper body activity, lotion or dirt on hands, and
excessive or insufficient pressure used when gripping the sensors.
