Troubleshooting - Heart Rate

Heart rate reading is initially detected and functioning normally but then is lost.
Probable Cause
Use of personal electronic devices, such as cell phones and
portable MP3 players, causes external noise interference.
Equipment is in close proximity to other sources of noise
such as audio/video equipment, fans, two way radios, and
high voltage/ high current power lines.
Heart rate readings are abnormally elevated.
Probable Cause
Television sets and/or antennas, cell phones, computers,
cars, high voltage power lines, motor driven exercise
equipment , and another heart rate transmitter within 3 ft.
(0.9 m) generate electromagnetic interference.
Heart rate reading is erratic or absent entirely.
Probable Cause
Belt transmitter electrodes are not wet enough to pick up
accurate heart rate readings.
Belt transmitter electrodes are not laying fl at against the
skin.
Belt transmitter needs cleaning.
Belt transmitter is not within 3 ft. (0.9 m) of the heart rate
receiver.
®
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap battery is depleted.
®
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap did not lock in with
the heart rate receiver.
Possible Solutions
Remove the source of noise or reposition the exercise
equipment.
Possible Solutions
Move the product a few inches away from the probable
cause, or move the probable cause a few inches away from
the product, until the heart rate readings are accurate.
Possible Solutions
Wet the belt transmitter electrodes (see The Optional Polar
Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap).
Ensure the belt transmitter electrodes are laying fl at against
the skin (see The Optional Polar
Strap).
Wash the belt transmitter with mild soap and water.
Make sure the chest strap transmitter is within 3 ft. (0.9 m)
of the heart rate receiver.
Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services for
instructions on how to have the Polar
chest strap replaced.
Make sure the Polar
properly attached to the user's chest and move closer to
the heart rate receiver inside the console. Wait up to 10
seconds for the heart rate to display on the console. The
overall range of the heart rate strap is approximately 3 ft.
(0.9 m) after it communicates with the receiver. The strap
must be 1.5 - 2 ft. (0.5 - 0.6 m) away from the receiver in
order to start communicating. When the display shows a
heart rate value stay within 3 ft. (0.9 m).
Notes:
1. Ensure proper adherence of the Polar telemetry heart
rate chest strap to user's chest.
2. Ensure proper conductivity between the electrodes
and user's chest.
3. If needed, use the Polar watch to verify chest strap's
operation.
