HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR

The heart rate monitor consists of a chest strap and

a sensor. Depending on the model, attach the chest

strap to the sensor in one of the following ways:

1. Press the snap fasteners on the chest strap onto

the posts on the sensor.

2. Insert the tab on

one end of the

chest strap into

the hole in one

end of the sensor

as shown. Then,

press the end of

the sensor under

the buckle on the chest strap. The tab should be

flush with the front of the sensor.

The heart rate moni-

tor must be worn

under your clothes,

tight against your

skin. Wrap the heart

rate monitor around

your chest in the

location shown.

Make sure that the logo is right-side-up. Then, attach

the other end of the chest strap to the sensor. Adjust

the length of the chest strap, if necessary.

Pull the sensor away from your body a few inches and

locate the two electrode areas, which are covered by

shallow ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or

contact lens solution, wet the electrode areas. Then,

return the sensor to a position against your chest.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Thoroughly dry the sensor with a soft towel after

each use. Moisture may keep the sensor activated,

shortening the life of the battery.

• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place. Do

not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag or

other container that may trap moisture.

• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct sun-

light for extended periods of time; do not expose it to

temperatures above 122° F (50° C) or below 14° F

(-10° C).

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor when

using or storing the heart rate monitor.

• To clean the sensor, use a damp cloth and a small

amount of mild soap. Then, wipe the sensor with a

damp cloth and thoroughly dry it with a soft towel.

Never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean

the sensor. Hand wash and air dry the chest strap.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, try

the steps below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate moni-

tor as described at the left. If the heart rate monitor

does not function when positioned as described,

move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

• If heart rate readings are not displayed until you

begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas.

• For the console to display heart rate readings, you

must be within arm’s length of the console.

• If there is a battery cover on the back of the sensor,

replace the battery with a new battery of the same

type.

• The heart rate monitor is designed to work with

people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate

reading problems may be caused by medical condi-

tions such as premature ventricular contractions

(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

• The operation of the heart rate monitor can be

affected by magnetic interference from high power

lines or other sources. If you suspect that magnetic

interference is causing a problem, try relocating the

fitness equipment.

receptacle on the

frame of the ellipti-

cal. Then, plug

the power adapter

into an appropriate

outlet that is properly

installed in accor-

dance with all local codes and ordinances.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL

Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, mov-
