HEART RATE MONITORING DEVICES
Built in Wireless Heart Rate Receiver
Note: Chest strap transmitter does not come with this unit; contact BODYCRAFT, or your
dealer for purchase.
This treadmill is equipped with a built-in receiver for your heart rate monitoring. Any heart rate
telemetry strap that transmits at 5Khz is compatible. To get an accurate reading using these
devices, you will need to be within three feet of the console, and a minimum of four feet from
others using a heart rate monitoring device.
(Note: The transmitter may fluctuate erratically if you are too close to other heart rate monitor
-
ing equipment or there is other electronics near by, such as TV, Radio...)
The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console unit of this treadmill. While
using heart rate control modes, the computer monitors the exact measurement of your pulse.
Heart rate frequency is displayed while the computer continually compares heart rate to the
preprogrammed personal data. The computer adjusts the wattage to maintain heart rate at the
preprogrammed level.
How to Wear Your Sensor/ Transmitter (Chest Strap)
1. Buckle one end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
2. Adjust the band length so that the fit is snug, but not too tight.
3. Buckle the other end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
4. Center the transmitter on your chest below the pectoral muscle (breasts).
5. Stretch the transmitter away from your chest and moisten the conductive electrode
strips located next to the buckles with water.
(Note: The transmitter is on automatically when being worn. It is off when it is not connected to
your body. However, as moisture may activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry the transmitter
to prolong battery life.)
Erratic Heart Rate Readings:
Erratic readings on the receiver can be caused by electromagnetic disturbances. If the heart
rate readings appear to be abnormal, check that your product is not within range of oth
-
er strong electromagnetic signals. Common sources are televisions, computers, cars, cell
phones, TV antennas and high voltage power lines (both above and below ground). Please
note: Static electricity in clothing or a flapping shirt can cause electrical interference, so some
items of clothing, i.e. man-made fibers, can also be the cause. Please try wetting the t-shirt in
the area where the transmitter is.
If the battery of the transmitter is running low, the transmission range decreases and may
cause errors similar to the ones listed above in this document.
