Heart Rate - True Fitness Cs3.0 Owner's Manual

This treadmill can monitor your heart rate using either a chest
strap 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 HRC (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.
