Remote Heart Rate Monitor

MonitoringyourHeartRateisoneofthebestprocedurestocontroltheintensityofyourexercise.ContactHeartRate(CHR)

sensors are installed to send your heart rate signals to the Console. The Console can also read telemetry HR signals from a

HeartRateChestStrapTransmitterthatoperatesinthe4.5kHz-5.5kHzrange.

Note: The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from

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.

NOTICE: To prevent interference with the telemetry HR receiver, do not place

any personal electronic devices in the left side of the media tray.

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firm,butnottootightorloose.BothhandsmustmakecontactwiththesensorsfortheCon-

sole to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.

OncetheConsolehasyourinitialheartrate,donotmoveorshiftyourhandsfor10to15seconds.TheConsolewillnow

validatetheheartrate.Manyfactorsinfluence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.
