 Contact Heart Rate
CHAPTER ONE: BASIC OPERATION
Contact 
Heart Rate 
(CHR)
The contact heart rate (CHR) system lets you monitor your heart 
rate without wearing a strap.
Gently grasp the contact heart rate pads as shown.  
When the system detects your hands, the Heart Rate label will start 
flashing in time with your heart beat. During this time, the system is 
analyzing and locking in your heart rate. Within about 15 seconds, 
your digital heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) should be displayed. 
Important: The CHR System should only be used at speeds of 
4 mph or lower. Above this speed the CHR accuracy is unavoidably 
unreliable due to large muscle movements.
