Heart Rate Monitoring

CHAPTER ONE: BASIC OPERATIONS
This treadmill can monitor your heart rate using either the chest
strap provided with the treadmill or the metal grips on the hand
rails (called contact heart rate, or CHR pads). A chest strap
transmits your heart rate to the treadmill via radio, and the CHR
pads connect to a special computer circuit to extract your heart
rate.
Although this treadmill
functions fine without
using the heart rate
monitoring feature, this
kind of monitoring gives
you valuable feedback on your effort level. Chest strap monitoring
also allows you to use Heart Rate Control, the most advanced
exercise control system available.
When you wear a Polar® or compatible transmitter strap, the
treadmill will display your heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute
(bpm) readout.
The transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin,
about one inch below the pectoral
muscles/breast line (see picture). Women
should be careful to place the transmitter
below their bra line.
Some moisture is necessary between the
strap and your skin. Sweat from your
exercise works best, but ordinary tap
water may be used prior to your workout
if desired.
