Star Trac Spinning® Computer:
on possible to acquire an accurate heart rate signal as well as eliminate “crosstalk”
®
Computer, please abide by the following
Users must wear Coded Transmitters (such as Polar© T61, Polar© T31C or Polar
©
WearLink
when operating the Spinner® bike with the Spinning® Computer.
Only Coded Transmitter will allow
a “one to one” relationship with the Spinning® Computer and will minimize
potential “crosstalk”
interference. If users wear non-coded straps, there is significantly increased potential for
“crosstalk” which will cause erratic heart rate display, loss of heart rate display and
significantly
reduce the consistency of accurate heart rate reporting.
Bikes should be spaced so that the side-to-side distance from the Spinning
®
Computer on one
bike and the Spinning
®
Computer on bikes to the left or right is at least 36 inches (91.4 cm). In
addition, the distance from the bottom of the Spinning
®
Computer on one bike to the seat of the
bike in front of it (where another rider and his/her transmitter would be seated) should be at least
24 inches (61 cm) in order to significantly reduce chances for inte
rference. See the diagram on
page 21 regarding bike layout.
Marketing Statement Regarding Heart Rate
4
Riders must lean into the
display (within 16 inches) and
wait for the HR to display –
once the HR is displayed they
must maintain the forward
Position for 15 seconds while
the computer codes with their
Polar Coded Strap, this insures
that no outside signals will interfere
with the riders data once they lean
back into their seated position.
Calorie calculations are displayed as a summary only and will ONLY be shown if a user utilizes a
heart rate strap throughout the entire workout.
Cell phones, televisions, speakers and other electronic devices can cause interference with
the
operation if they are in close proximity to the Spinning® Computer and/or transmitter.
s regarding operation or usage of the Spinning® Computer, please contact
-503-1221 or 1-714-669-1660.

speed), total distance and elapsed time.
• The heart rate information is received from a Polar
©
T61, Polar© T31C or Polar©
WearLink® heart rate strap worn
by the person riding the Spinning Bike. The Polar strap
sends a radio signal to the computer and the computer
displays the person’s heart rate.
If any other strap is used it will not display the heart rate.
The computer and heart rate
strap must be wit
hin range of each other and no other heart rate strap can be within this
imaginary circle. The range is approximately 36 inches from the computer.
• The RPM signal is transmitted by the cadence sensor sending the RPM to the
computer
Each time the magnet on the flywheel passes the cadence sensor it records one
revolution and as it counts the revolutions it sends this number to the computer.

Remove the computer from the handlebar or computer mounting
bracket.
Loosen the captive scre w on the back of the battery cover (screw will
not completely come off, it will remain captive.) To remove the cover,
pull on the captive screw and lift.
Install 4 new batteries. Note: Replace all 4 batteries at the same time.

Note the directions each battery is to be installed. There is a plus (+) and minus (-
) symbol
inside the battery compartment.
The + sign indicates the positive (+) side on the battery and
the - indicates the negative (-) side on the battery.
Insert each of the 4 batteries into the battery compartment of the computer.
Attach the battery cover and tighten the screw.
Attach the computer onto the handlebar or computer mounting bracket and test.

: Syncing will not improve Heart Rate and is not a calibration it should only be used to Sync
after checking all of the following:
• Do the serial numbers on the cadence sensor and the
computer match?
o If they do not match the handlebar has been swapped
with another bike and should be swapped back, so the
computer and sensor are matched up again.
• Is the battery secure in the cadence sensor and the cover is not loose?
o
A loose battery will prevent the cadence sensor to transmit the RPM signal to the
computer.
• Is the magnet aligned with the cadence sensor?
o
A missing magnet or one that is not lined up properly will prevent the cadence sensor
to transmit the RPM signal to the computer.
• Does the computer turn on when you press a button?
o If the computer does not turn on replace the batteries in the computer.
• The computer turns on but as you pedal it does not show the RPM.
o If you have performed all of the
above steps you may now sync the computer and
cadence sensor. This will make them a paired set and will be able to transmit and
receive the RPM signal.

T Procedure:
Once the batteries are installed, press any button and the display window will turn on in
the
Workout mode.
Test by waving a magnet across the cadence sensor. If you see RPM
values, then the cadence sensor and computer was synced successfully,
there is no need to perform the sync process.
If you do not get any rpm reading and the computer turns off you WILL
need to perform the Syncing process.

th the computer attached.)
