Heart Rate Monitoring
26
Every ElliptiMill comes with AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate Grips
that can be used in place of the wireless chest strap.
CONTACT GRIPS
(shown on right)
To use the Contact Grips follow these steps:
Grab the contact grips.
The center display will start flashing to communicate that the system
is active and acquiring a signal.
After about 5-10 seconds, your heart rate will be displayed and
remain displayed as long as you hold on to the grips.
Once you release them, the display will automatically revert to the
statistic displayed prior to grabbing the grips.
Note: If you are wearing the wireless chest strap, the AccuTrack Contact Heart Rate Grips will override the wireless signal
while your hands are on the grips. Once you release the grips, the elliptical will default back to the wireless signal.
The contact grips are designed to reliably operate up to approximately 70 RPM. Higher speeds can cause the user’s hands to
shift and hinder the heart rate signal acquisition. For the most reliable results, use the wireless chest strap.
WIRELESS HEART RATE CHEST STRAP TRANSMITTER
(shown below)
To use the Wireless Chest Strap follow these steps:
SECURE THE CHEST STRAP
Center the transmitter on the chest as high under the pectoral muscles
(breasts) as possible. Tighten the strap so that the belt is as tight as
possible without being uncomfortable.
APPLY CARDIO GEL TO THE ELECTRODES
A tube of Landice Cardio Gel was shipped with your ElliptiMill. Pull
the belt away from your chest and apply a small dab to each electrode.
This will ensure a strong electrical contact between the transmitter and your chest.
The Heart Rate Transmitter works best against bare skin. Since sweat (saltwater) is an electrical conductor, the transmitter
will work over a T-shirt if the shirt is wet with sweat. If you are having trouble getting an accurate pulse reading, try wearing
the belt against bare skin.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The transmitter activates when the belt is properly wetted. In order to conserve battery life, wipe the electrodes dry when
not in use. Clean monthly with mild soap and water and wipe dry. Do not use abrasives in cleaning, as they can cause per-
manent damage to the electrodes. Do not bend or stretch the electrode strips, especially when storing the belt transmitter.
