Contact Heart Rate Sensors

Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stainless steel parts of the Handlebars.

Touse,putyourhandscomfortablyaroundthesensors.Besurethatyourhandstouchboththetopandthebottomofthesensors.Holdrm,but

not too tight or loose. Both hands must make contact with the sensors for the Console to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse

signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.

Manyfactorsinuencetheabilityofthesensorstodetectyourheartratesignal:

• Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with pulse detection. Slight

hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.

• Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.

• SomeElectrocardiogram(EKG)signalsgeneratedbyindividualsarenotstrongenoughtobedetectedbythesensors.

• Theproximityofotherelectronicmachinescangenerateinterference.

send your heart rate signals to the Console. The Console can also read telemetry HR signals from a Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter that oper-

atesinthe4.5kHz-5.5kHzrange.

Note: The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from Polar Electro or an uncoded POLAR

compatible model. (Coded

POLAR

heart rate straps such as POLAR

OwnCode

chest straps will not work with this equipment.)

If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor before using a wireless chest strap or other telemetric heart

rate monitor.

Chest Strap

Using the heart rate transmitter chest strap lets you monitor your heart rate at any time during your workout.

Consultaphysicianbeforeyoustartanexerciseprogram.Stopexercisingifyoufeelpainortightnessinyourchest,becomeshortofbreath,

orfeelfaint.Contactyourdoctorbeforeyouusethemachineagain.Usethevaluescalculatedormeasuredbythemachine’scomputerfor

reference purposes only.

The heart rate transmitter is attached to a chest strap to keep your hands free during your workout. To put on your chest strap:

1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic chest strap.

2. Adjustthestraplengthtotsnuglyandcomfortablyagainstyourskin.Securethestraparoundyourchest,justbelowthechestmuscles,and

buckle it.

3. Lift the transmitter off your chest and moisten the two Grooved Electrode Areas on the back.

4. Checkthatthewetelectrodeareasarermlyagainstyourskin.

Thetransmitterwillsendyourheartratetothemachine’sreceiveranddisplayyourestimatedBeatsPerMinute(BPM).

Always remove the transmitter before you clean the chest strap. Clean the chest strap regularly with mild soap and water, and thoroughly dry it.

Residual sweat and moisture may keep the transmitter active and drain the battery in the transmitter. Dry and wipe clean the transmitter after each

use.

Note: Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol when you clean the chest strap, as they can damage the electrodes

permanently.
