GETTING STARTED
Getting Started: Contact Heart Rate
Contact Heart Rate
When using Contact Heart Rate make certain to grasp sensors firmly and keep hands still. If heart rate seems
substantially higher or lower than expected, remove hands from sensors until heart rate disappears. Dry hands
and grasp sensors again until heart rate seems accurate. If this does not work you may need to slow the machine
to get an accurate reading. On treadmills we recommend for safety and accurate heart rate readings that the user
stand on the siderails when attempting to monitor heart rate with contact electrodes.
Note: The contact heart rate system may be less or more accurate with different individuals.

1 Level/Incline Display
a. Level Display (Bikes/Cross-Trainers) –
There are two types of levels used on
Life Fitness bikes and cross-trainers. The
first type of level is the actual brake resistance level.
This type of level is only adjustable by the user in a
manual workout. The range of possible brake
resistance levels is 1-20. The second type of level is
HOW TO
difficulty level. There are 20 difficulty levels. Difficulty
level corresponds to a range of actual brake
resistance levels and is only used in random, hill, ez
incline, and sports training workouts. So when you
select a difficulty level of 10 it corresponds to a range
of actual brake resistance levels of 5-14. During
random, hill, ez incline, and sports training the
difficulty level will only be displayed during workout
setup and anytime you choose to change the level
during the workout. At all other times during a
workout the actual level will be displayed. Please see
the table on the following page for specific difficulty
level information.
b. Level / Incline Display (Treadmills) – There are two
types of levels used on Life Fitness treadmills. The
10
first type of level is an incline level or percentage.
Incline level is only manually adjusted by the user in
a manual workout. The range of possible incline
percentages is 0-12% and can be adjusted in 0.5%
increments. The second difficulty level corresponds
to a range of actual incline percentages. Difficulty
levels are only used in random, hill, ez incline, and
sports training workouts. So when a user selects a
difficulty level of 10 it corresponds to a range of
incline percentages between 3% and 7%. During
random, hill, ez incline, and sports training the
difficulty level will be displayed only during workout
setup and anytime the difficulty level is changed
during the workout. At all other times during these
workouts the incline percentage is displayed. Please
see the table on the following page for specific
difficulty level information.
c. Changing the Level during a Workout –
To change the level during a workout the underscore
beneath the top row of workout feedback needs to
be positioned under level. If the underscore is not
under level, it can be moved using the left/right
arrow keys. To adjust the level simply press the up
and down keys.
