Important Points About HRC

HEART RATE CONTROL WORKOUTS

The heart rate monitor transmitter strap provided with your treadmill should be worn directly against your skin at about one inch below the pectoral muscles/breast line. Women should be careful to place the transmitter below their bra line.

Some moisture is necessary between the strap and your skin. Sweat from your exercise works best, but ordinary tap water may be used prior to your workout if desired.

If the transmitter strap is adjusted or moved while exercising, communication may be temporarily affected.

If communication is lost for 30 seconds, the treadmill will automatically shut off.

The transmitter strap sends a low-level radio signal to the treadmill, so interference from other radio and sound waves (including everything from cordless telephones to loudspeakers) is possible. The good news is that interference is usually quite brief. If you continue to have intermittent heart rate display problems, consult your local service technician, as the transmitter strap batteries may be low.

Make sure you breathe smoothly and regularly.

Talking during your workout usually causes heart rate spikes of 5 beats per minute or more, so avoid talking as much as possible.

Maintain a smooth walking or running motion.

A grounded outlet is critical for the HRC system to function properly. Use a dedicated 110 VAC, grounded outlet to help prevent interference.
