CONTACT HEART RATE

The X1 includes hand pulse sensors on the stationary handlebar that are a built-in heart rate monitoring system. During a workout grasp the hand pulse sensors to monitor your heart rate. We recommend using the heart rate chest strap provided with your console during workouts and using the hand pulse sensors to only occasionally monitor your heart rate when not using the chest strap. In addition, to utilize heart rate controlled workouts the chest strap must be used. For the most accu- rate reading, use a comfortable grip. The console will show a heart rate reading after 15 to 20 seconds.

Hand pulse sensors can work differently with different body types. With some individuals it can be very difficult to extract a heart rate reading. Follow the tips below to improve the heart rate reading:

·Remove your hands from the heart rate sensors and wait for the heart rate display to clear. Grasp sensors again.

·Make sure hands are fully contacting the sensors.

·Dry hands periodically during use.

·Limit movement.

·Clean hand pulse sensors.

Note: The heart rate hand pulse sensors provide an approximate heart rate value. The sensors are not medical devices and should not be used in any type of medical application.
