Chest Strap Operation
Your Endurance
®
Upright bike has the capability to determine Heart Rate with the
use of a Heart Rate Chest Strap. A Heart Rate Chest Strap can be purchased
seperately. In all Heart Rate Control programs, the console only accepts the heart
rate signal from the chest strap transmitter while the pulse grip heart rate function is
disabled. The requirement to wear the chest strap is due to the superior accuracy of
a chest strap transmitter compared to the pulse grip sensors.
It is suggested for the Chest Strap Transmitter that you position the transmitter as
close to your heart as possible, against the skin, 1-2 inches below the pectoral mus-
cles. For best results, moisten the back of the transmitter for better contact.
If no Heart Rate signal is detected for 10 seconds, the screen will show “0” Heart
Rate
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND TIPS FOR CHEST STRAP
1. It is the owners responsibility to ensure that all users of this unit have read the
Owners Manual and are familiar with warnings and safety precautions.
2. Do not place chest strap near devices that generate large magnetic elds. TV sets,
electric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can aect the transmitters
performance. These items can interfere with the heart rate signal and possibly af-
fect the heart rate readings on the console.
3. Handle the Chest Strap with care. Dropping the transmitter might cause damage
that could void the warranty.
4. Do not use the chest strap if you have a cardiac pacemaker or if your are taking
medications for a heart condition. Medication or electrical pulses from the pace-
maker can interfere with accurate heart rate readings.
5. Do not bend the strips inside the chest strap. This can cause the chest strap to
loose conductivity.
6. The chest strap has batteries that need to be replaced periodically. A faulty bat-
tery can cause inaccurate reading.
