HEART RATE MONITORING

CHAPTER ONE: BASIC OPERATION

This treadmill can monitor your heart rate using either the chest strap provided with the treadmill or the metal grips on the hand rails (called contact

heart rate, or CHR pads). A chest strap transmits your heart rate to the treadmill via radio, and the CHR pads connect to a special

computer circuit to extract your heart rate.

Although this treadmill functions fine without using the heart rate monitoring feature, this kind of monitoring gives you valuable feedback on your effort level. Chest strap monitoring also allows you to use HRC (Heart Rate Control)®, the most advanced exercise control system available.

When you wear a Polar® or compatible transmitter strap (included), the treadmill will display your heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute (bpm) readout.

The transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin, about one inch below the pectoral muscles/breast line (see picture). 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.
