Marketing Statement Regarding Heart Rate

Marketing Statement Regarding Heart Rate Acquisition on the Star Trac Spinning® Computer:

Star Trac takes the acquisition and accuracy of heart rate very seriously and has developed a system to perform to the best ability that technology will allow. Star Trac has engineered a product that has taken every precaution possible to acquire an accurate heart rate signal as well as eliminate “cross-talk” interference that may be caused by other monitors being placed too close together.

To achieve the best possible results from your Spinning® Computer, please abide by the following important parameters:

1)Users should wear Coded Transmitters (such as Polar© T61, Polar© T31C or Polar© WearLink®) when operating the Spinner® bike with the Spinning Computer. Although all Polar-compatible transmitters are compatible with the Spinning® Computer, the use of a Coded Transmitter will allow a “one to one” relationship with the Spinning Computer and will minimize potential crosstalk interference. If users wear non-coded straps, there is significantly increased potential for “cross-talk” which may cause erratic heart rate display and reduce the consistency of accurate heart rate reporting. .

2)Bikes should be spaced so that the side-to-side distance from the Spinning Computer on one bike and the Spinning Computer on bikes to the left or right is at least 36 inches (91.4 cm). In addition, the distance from the bottom of the Spinning Computer on one bike to the seat of the bike in front of it (where another rider and his/her transmitter would be seated) should be at least 24 inches (61 cm) in order to significantly reduce chances for interference. Please see the diagram on page 19.

3)Calorie calculations are displayed as a summary only and will ONLY be shown if a user utilizes a heart rate strap throughout the entire workout.

If there are any questions regarding operation or usage of the Spinning Computer, please contact Star Trac Customer Support at 800-503-1221.
