Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.
Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too
tight to remain comfortable.
Position the transmitter with the SOLE logo centered in the middle
of your body facing away from your chest (some people must
position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the final end
of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the
locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest.
Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.
Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals.
However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on
the reverse side of the belt and both sides of the transmitter). It's also recommended that
you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because
of body chemistry, have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the
beginning. After "warming up", this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the
transmitter/strap doesn't affect performance.
Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver - to achieve
a strong steady signal.The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close
enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the
transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish,
you may wear the transmitter over a shirt.To do so, moisten the areas of the shirt that the
electrodes will rest upon.
Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user's heart. Additionally, it
automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant,
moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the
transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours).The replacement
battery is Panasonic CR2032.
ERRATIC OPERATION
Caution! Do not use this elliptical for Heart Rate Control unless a steady, solid Actual Heart Rate
value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem.
Areas to look for interference
which may cause erratic heart rate:
1. Microwave ovens, TV's, small appliances, etc.
2. Fluorescent lights.
3. Some household security systems.
4. Perimeter fence fora pet.
5. Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have problems
try wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the SOLE logo is right
side up.
6. The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source, turning the
whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.
7. Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3'of your machine's console.
If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
