TELEMETRY HEART RATE
The transmitter belt should fit snugly and comfortably, and allow normal
breathing. When the console detects a heart rate signal, heart rate is shown in
the display automatically. Your heart rate in beats per minute and a pulsing heart
icon are displayed
After the initial belt signal is detected, the console will enter a valida-
tion phase in which four good heart beat signals lasting four seconds are
required before locking on telemetry heart rate signals for the duration of the
workout session. During the validation phase the console will not recognize
contact heart rate signals. If you do not see a heart rate on the console, try one
of the following:
•
Move closer to the console.
•
Tighten the elastic part of the chest belt.
•
Adjust the belt higher or lower on your chest.
•
Remoisten the electrodes.
•
Test your chest strap with a machine that you know is working, or
with a heart rate watch that you know is working.
•
If possible, replace or exchange your console with a console
(from the same type of machine) that you know is working and
retest the machine.
Maintaining the Transmitter Belt
Clean the chest belt regularly with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly —
residual sweat and moisture keep the transmitter active and drain the battery in
the transmitter. Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol
for cleaning, as they can damage the electrodes permanently. You can order
replacement belts from StairMaster, Polar Electro, Inc., or your local fitness store:
