Chest
Strap
Heart
Rate
Monitoring:
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
Heart
Rate
Control,
the
most
advanced
exercise
control
system
available.
When
you
wear
a
compatible
transmitter
strap,
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
NOTE:
The
chest
strap
produces
a
FM
signal
that
the
treadmill
reads
and
registers
your
heart
rate.
The
accuracy
of
a
reading
may
be
affected
when
outside
interference
is
present.
Contact
Heart
Rate
(CHR):
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
NOTE:
CHR
monitoring
may
be
less
accurate
than
chest
strap,
since
the
heart rate
signals
are
much
stronger
at
the
chest.
NOTE:
The
CHR
System
should
only
be
used
at
speeds
of
4
mph
or
lower.
Above
this
speed
CHR
accuracy
is
unreliable
due
to
large
muscle
movements.
Exercise
with
smooth
body
motions.
Breathe
smoothly
and
regularly,
and
avoid
talking.
(Talking
will
cause
unrepresentative
heart
rate
spike
of
5
‐
10
bpm.
Grip
the
pads
lightly,
not
tightly.
Make
sure
your
hands
are
clean,
free
of
dirt
and
hand
lotions.
When
using
the
HRC
workout,
it
is
best
to
use
chest
strap
monitoring.
Heart
rate
based
workouts
work
best
with
the
extra
accuracy
gained
from
the
chest
strap
heart
rate
monitoring
system.
