USB Charging
If a USB Device is attached to the USB Port, the Port will attempt to charge the Device. The power supplied from the USB Port may not be enough to
operate the Device and charge it at the same time.
Remote Heart Rate Monitor
Monitoring your Heart Rate is one of the best procedures to control the intensity of your exercise. The Console reads the telemetry HR signals from
the Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter that operates in the 4.5kHz - 5.5kHz range.
Note: The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from Polar Electro or an uncoded POLAR
(Coded POLAR
If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor before using a wireless chest strap or other
telemetric heart rate monitor.
Chest Strap
Using the provided heart rate transmitter chest strap lets you monitor your heart rate at any time during your workout.
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or
tightness in your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use
the machine again. The heart rate displayed is an approximation and should be used for reference
only.
To put on your chest strap:
1. Secure the strap around your chest just below the chest muscles.
2. Lift the transmitter off your chest and moisten the two Grooved Electrode Areas on the back.
3. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin.
The transmitter will send your heart rate to the machine's receiver and display your estimated Beats Per Minute (BPM).
Always remove the transmitter before you clean the chest strap. Clean the chest strap regularly with mild soap and water, and thoroughly dry it. Re-
sidual sweat and moisture may keep the transmitter active and drain the battery in the transmitter. Dry and wipe clean the transmitter after each use.
Note: Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol when you clean the chest strap, as they can damage the electrodes
permanently.
If the Console does not display a heart rate value, the transmitter may be at fault. Check that the textured contact areas on the chest strap are
making contact with your skin. You may need to lightly wet the contact areas. Check that the curve of the transmitter is oriented upward. If no signal
appears or you need further assistance, contact your local distributor.
Before discarding a chest strap, remove the battery. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations and/or at approved recycling
centers.
