Troubleshooting Heart Rate
Table1 may help you understand and troubleshoot erratic heart r ate
readings.
Important: A heart rate can only be detected when the Precor heart
rate receiver is properly installed in the display. A user must wear the
chest strap on the C952i or grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips
on the C954i, C956i, or C966i.
Table 1. Erratic heart rate readings
Note: To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, both
touch-sensitive handrail grips must be grasped firmly for five to ten
seconds. Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration
provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver in the
display console. However, because of body chemistry or erratic
heartbeats, some people cannot use the touch-sensitive heart rate
feature. A chest strap may provide better results.
