HEART RATE MONITORING

HEART RATE INPUT

Contact heart rate and telemetry (e.g., Polar®) heart rate signal detection is available. There is no default priority of heart rate input. If a telemetry signal is detected first, contact heart rate signals are inhibited from being detected throughout the rest of the workout session and vice-versa. There is also a short “lock out” period at the beginning of each workout session during which the console first detects a signal and then validates the signal type. The duration of this shorter, initial “lock out” period differs between telemetry and contact heart rate.

Telemetry heart rate - after the initial belt signal is detected, the console will enter a validation phase in which four good heart beat signals within four seconds are required before

locking on telemetry heart rate signals for the duration of the workout session. During the validation phase the console will not recognize contact heart rate signals.

Contact heart rate - after the initial contact sensor signal is detected, the console will enter a validation phase requiring a good heart beat signal within 10 to 15 seconds, or until the system acquires a valid signal. During the validation phase, the console will not recognize telemetry heart rate signals. The console will display a beating double heart icon that has the inner heart colored in while searching for a valid signal.

Locked/Non-locked Option

When the “not locked” option is selected the heart rate source signal is not fixed during the exercise (if the signal is lost, either input will be valid). If the “locked” option is selected, then the heart rate source signal is locked on the first detected signal during the workout. To set a heart rate signal input, or to turn off the heart rate option all together, perform the following steps:

1.On the console keypad, press [LEVEL: ∧] , [3], [2]. At this point the screen will display “HR INPUTS.” Press [ENTER] to select this option.
