USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate
to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse
handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You
may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors
to ensure proper contact can be maintained.
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips or a thumb pulse sensor can
provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are
necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart
rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the
accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart
rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
CAUTION
Always stand still on side rails when measuring your heart rate. Checking your heart rate while in motion will cause
inaccurate readings. Do not press excessively hard on the sensor as this may cause damage.

WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER
When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate can be transmitted wirelessly to the treadmill and
displayed on the console. All but the CLASSIC console include a wireless chest transmitter.
Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap
just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight
and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may
receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.
