IMPORTANT; If a user has an irnplanted

user must check with his or her physician
prior to using the heart rate monitor-
The unique CardioTrack heart rate monitor is specially
designed for accuracy, comfort, and durability. To get
the best performance from the heart rate monitor,
please read the instructions below.
HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
The heart rate monitor consists of two components:

below to put on the heart rate monitor.
inches and locate the two electrode areas on the
inner side. The electrode areas are the two long,
grooved rectangles. Using saline solution such as
saliva or contact lens solution, wet both electrode
areas. Return the transmitter to a position against
your chest,
HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
The instructions on pages 11 to 17 of this user's
manual explain how the heart rate monitor is used
with the console. If the letters “PLS” appear in the
PULSE display, or if the displayed heart rate is
excessively high or low when the heart rate moni
tor is used, try the trouble-shooting steps below,
1. Make sure that the heart rate monitor is under your
clothing, against your skin, and as high under the
pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.
Note; If the heart rate monitor does not function
when positioned as described, try moving it slightly
lower or higher on your chest,
1. Refer to the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on
one end of the chest strap through the hole in one
end of the transmitter. Press the end of the trans
mitter under the buckle on the chest strap. The tab
should be flush with the front of the transmitter.
2, Wrap the
heart rate
monitor
around your
chest and
attach the
other end of
the chest
strap to the
transmitter.
Adjust the
length of the
chest strap, if necessary. The heart rate monitor
should be under your clothing, against your skin,
and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts
as is comfortable. Make sure that the NordicTrack
logo is facing forward and is right-side-up.
2. Make sure that the NordicTrack logo on the trans
mitter is facing forwards and is right-side-up.
3. Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the
transmitter. If heart rate readings do not appear
until you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
4. As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your
self near the center of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within arm’s length of the console.
5. The heart rate monitor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical
conditions such as premature ventricular contrac
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
6. The operation of the heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
magnetic interference may be causing a problem,
try relocating the treadmill.
7. If the heart rate monitor still does not function
properly, test it by having another person try it.
8. The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
page 9).
HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each
use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the '
eiectrode areas are wetted and the heart rate moni
tor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off when it
is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the
heart rate monitor is not dried after each use, it may
remain activated longer than necessary.
• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose
the heart rate monitor to temperatures above 122®
Fahrenheit (50“ Celsius) or below 14“ Fahrenheit
(-10“ Celsius).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the transmitter
when using or storing the heart rate monitor.
• Clean the transmitter using water and mild soap—
never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The
chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.
If the heart rate monitor
does not function prop
erly, the CR 2032 bat
tery may need to be
replaced. To replace the
battery, locate the bat
tery cover on the back of
the transmitter. Insert a
coin into the slot in the
cover and turn the cover counterclockwise to the
“open" position. Remove the cover.
Remove the old battery
and insert a new CR
2032 battery, making
sure that the battery is
turned so the writing is
on top. in addition, make
sure that the rubber gas
ket is in place in the
transmitter. Replace the
battery cover and turn it
to the closed position.
