Using a Heart Rate Transmitter  

How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter: 
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. 
2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable. 
3. Position the transmitter with the Spirit logo centered in the middle of your body facing away from your chest (some people 
must position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the final end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, 
using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest. 
4. Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles. 
5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals. However, plain water can also be used to 
pre-wet the electrodes (2 black square areas on the reverse side of the belt and either side of transmitter). It’s also 
recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because of body chemistry, 
have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After “warming up”, this problem lessens. As 
noted, wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn’t affect performance. 
6. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong steady signal. The length 
of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. 
Wearing the transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the 
transmitter over a shirt. To do so, moisten the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon. 
Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart. Additionally, it automatically 
deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant, moisture can have the effect of 
creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after use to prolong battery life 
(estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery is Panasonic CR2032. 

Erratic Operation: 

Caution! Do not use this elliptical for Heart Rate Control unless a steady, solid Actual Heart Rate value is being 
displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem. 
Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate: 

(1) Microwave ovens, T.V.’s, small appliances, etc. 
(2) Fluorescent lights. 
(3) Some household security systems. 
(4) Perimeter fence for a pet. 
(5) Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have problems try wearing the transmitter 
upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the Spirit logo is right side up. 
(6) If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
 

 

Heart Rate Control Program 1 & 2 (HR 1, HR 2) operation  

Both programs operate the same, the only difference is that HR 1 is set to 60% and HR 2 is set to 80% of maximum heart rate. 
They both are programmed the same way.  
To start the HR 1 or HR 2 programs follow the instructions below or just press the HR 1 or HR 2  button then the Enter 
button and follow the directions in the message window. 

1.

 

Press the HR 1 or HR 2 key then press the Enter key.  

2.

 

The message window will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter your Age, using the Up and Down keys or the 
numeric key pad, then press the Enter key to accept the new number and proceed on to the next screen.  

3.

 

You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the Weight number using the Up and Down keys or the 
numeric key pad, then press enter to continue. 

4.

 

Next is Time. You may adjust the Time and press enter to continue. 

5.

 

Now you are asked to adjust the Heart rate Level. This is the heart rate level you will experience during the program. 
Adjust the level and then press enter. 

6.

 

Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the Start key. You can also go back 
and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key. NOTE: At any time during the editing of Data you can press the 
Stop key to go back one level, or screen. 

7.

 

If you want to increase or decrease the work load at any time during the program press the Up or Down key. This will 
allow you to change your target heart rate at any time during the program. 

8.

 

During the HR 1 or HR 2 programs you will be able to scroll through the data in the message window by pressing the 
adjacent Display key. 

9.

 

When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again or Stop to exit the program or you can 
save the program you just completed as a custom user program by pressing a User key and following the instructions 
in the message window. 

 
Auto-pilot  
 

The Auto-pilot feature is a unique heart rate program. This program allows you to enter the Heart Rate Control program on 
the fly. At any time, during any program, you can press the Auto-pilot button and the console will switch to heart rate control 
mode. The console will maintain your heart rate at the current level when you press the Auto-pilot button. For instance: If you 
are in the Manual mode and your heart rate is at 150 beats per minute, pressing the Auto-pilot button will switch the console 
to heart rate control and keep your heart rate at 150 beats per minute automatically.
