PULSE GRIPS

Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart 

rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping 

the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, 

cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure 

to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

WIRELESS CHEST TRANSMITTER (EX-75 ONLY)

Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your 

chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. 

Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral 

muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing 

out. 

NOTE:

 The chest strap must be tight and properly 

placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If 

the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you 

may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.

 

WARNING!

 The heart rate function is not a medical device. 

Various factors may affect the accuracy of your heart rate 

reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an 

exercise aid.

NOTE:

 Chest Strap sold separately. Works with Polar® 

Chest Straps.

HEART RATE

THR ZONE / TARGET HEART RATE (EX-55, EX-65, EX-75)

on page 28). 

60% OF MAX HEART RATE:

  Used for beginners and longer workouts.

65% OF MAX HEART RATE:

  Used for beginner to intermediate users and mid to long range workouts.

70% OF MAX HEART RATE:
