HEART RATE MONITORING
CHAPTER ONE: BASIC OPERATION
This treadmill can monitor your heart rate using either the chest strap provided with the treadmill or the metal grips on the hand rails (called contact
heart rate, or CHR pads). A chest strap transmits your heart rate to the treadmill via radio, and the CHR pads connect to a special
computer circuit to extract your heart rate.
Although this treadmill functions fine without using the heart rate monitoring feature, this kind of monitoring gives you valuable feedback on your effort level. Chest strap monitoring also allows you to use HRC (Heart Rate Control)®, the most advanced exercise control system available.
When you wear a Polar® or compatible transmitter strap (included), the treadmill will display your heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute (bpm) readout.
The transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin, about one inch below the pectoral muscles/breast line (see picture). Women should be careful to place the transmitter below their bra line.
Some moisture is necessary between the strap and your skin. Sweat from your exercise works best, but ordinary tap water may be used prior to your workout if desired.

HEART RATE
CHEST STRAP HEART RATE MONITORING

CONTACT HEART RATE
CHAPTER ONE: BASIC OPERATION
The CHR system lets you monitor your heart rate without wearing a strap.
Gently grasp the CHR pads.
During this time, the system is analyzing and locking in your heart rate. Within about 15 seconds, your digital heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) should be displayed.
Important: The CHR System should only be used at speeds of 4 mph or lower. Above this speed the CHR accuracy is unavoidably unreliable due to large muscle movements.
1.Exercise with smooth body motions.
2.Breathe smoothly and regularly, and avoid talking. (Talking will cause unrepresentative heart rate spikes of 5 to 10 bpm.)
3.Grip the pads lightly, not tightly.
4.Make sure your hands are clean, free of both dirt and hand lotions.
A Note on CHR Accuracy
CHR monitoring may be a bit less accurate than a chest strap, since the heart rate signals are much stronger at the chest.
About 5% of the population cannot be picked up by any CHR system. This is because their heart is positioned in a more up-and- down manner in their chest, as opposed to leaning over to one side.
When using a HRC workout, it
is best to use chest strap monitoring. These workouts work best with the extra accuracy gained from a chest-contact heart rate monitoring system.
