OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Using the Heart Rate Transmitter Chest Strap
The
HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(97)
worn around the chest is powered by a
3V LITHIUM BATTERY
(CR2032)(101)
located in the center of the strap. Two electrodes on either side of the battery monitor your
heartbeat, and an adjustable elastic strap holds the transmitter in place. The receiver built into the
Avari
GX8
picks up your heart rate from the
HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(97)
and displays it on the monitor
during your workout.
NOTE:
Apply water or conductive gel to moisten the
ribbed rubber area covering the electrodes. This ribbed
area must be wet and in contact with your chest skin to
properly detect your heart rate.
The
HEART RATE TRANSMITTER(97)
worn around your chest sends your heart rate information to a
receiver in your computer monitor so your heart rate is tracked while you exercise. This is the most reliable
way to measure your heart rate to make sure you are exercising within your target heart rate zone so you
get the most out of your workout time.
Dry your hands to prevent slipping.
Make sure both hands are in contact with all four sensors (two in each hand).
Grasp the sensors firmly.
Apply constant pressure to the sensors until you get a consistent reading on your computerized workout
console screen.
