OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

500/540/550 HEART RATE CONTROL

Before beginning operation in Heart Rate Control, you must first attach the heart rate transmitter around your chest. The radio fre- quency transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin, 1-2 inches below the pectoral muscles/

breast line. Women should be careful to place the transmitter below their bra line. Initially, the transmission signal for heart rate may be erratic or non-existent. Perspiration on your skin is necessary for proper transmission. In most cases, by the end of your warm up, transmission becomes consistent and accurate. If not, saline solution should be used to moisten the sensors on the back of the strap.

The Heart ( ) LED will flash, showing that the heart rate signal is received.
