USING THE HEART RATE TRANSMITTER
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic chest strap using the clips provided.
2. Adjust the strap to a firm fit around the chest
3. Position the transmitter in the centre of your chest, immediately below the pectoral muscles, with the TROJAN logo
facing outwards.
4. Sweat will act as a very effective conductor to accurately transmit heart beat electrical signals. Plain water can also be
used to pre-wet the electrodes (moisten the two black square areas on the reverse side of the belt and either side of
transmitter). It is also recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before you start your work out.
Some users, because of body chemistry, take longer to achieve a strong, steady signal at the beginning of exercise. After
“warming up”, this problem lessens.
5. Wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap does not affect performance.
6. The transmitter must be within range of the receiver to achieve a strong steady signal. Stay close enough to the console
to maintain strong, reliable, readings.
7. Wearing the transmitter immediately against your body will ensure proper operation. It may also be worn over a shirt as
long as areas of the shirt around the transmitter are first moistened.
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. Ensure you 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 treadmill for Heart Rate Control unless a steady, reliable actual Heart Rate value is being displayed.
Erratic, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem due to interference.
Potential Sources of Interference:
(1) Treadmill improperly earthed
(2) Close proximity to Microwave ovens, TV’s and some other small appliances.
(3) Some types of Fluorescent lights.
(4) Some household security systems.
(5) Electronic perimeter pet fences
The antenna that detects your heart rate is very sensitive. If you encounter an interference problem, changing the orientation
of the machine by 90 degrees may solve the problem.
If you continue to experience problems, contact your dealer.
