CHEST STRAP INSTRUCTIONS

Moistening Transmitter ElectrodesMoistening Transmitter Electrodes

On the back side of your transmitter are two rubber strips several inches long. These rubber strips are the electrodes
that will pick up the signals of your heart beat. It is very important to moisten these strips with several drops of water
prior to placing the strap against your chest. This moisture will allow the signals to be conducted to the transmitting
hardware. If you ever use the treadmill and the display is not showing a heart rate value, remoisten the electrodes.

Placing Strap Around ChestPlacing Strap Around Chest

You will get the best results if you wear your transmitter directly against your skin. Once these electrodes are moist­ened, center the transmitter just below the breast or pectoral muscles with the Vision Fitness logo centered on the chest
and facing out. Adjust the length of the elastic belt so that the transmitter presses securely against your skin, but not so
tight as to be uncomfortable. The transmitter willl begin sending a sinal as soon as it is worn.

Heart Rate FeedbackHeart Rate Feedback

You can monitor your heart rate during any of the six programs. A program must be operating for the heart rate read ­out to show on the number screen. Once a program has been started, press the SELECT button until the light next to
HEART RATE is lit. The number that now shows in the number screen is your current average heart rate. If your readout is
‘0’, you are not getting a signal. Shift the transmitter to slightly different positions on your chest until a readout begins
to show. If you still do not get a signal, remoisten the electrodes with more water and try again.

Determining Target Heart RateDetermining Target Heart Rate

Target haret rate is the number of beats per minute you determine to be ideal for achieving your personal fitness goals.
If you have been sedentary, or have a history of heart disease always consult our physician to determine the target heart
rate. Otherwise, please read pages 33 and 34 for further information to help you decide on the target rate best for you.
