Cybex Arc Trainer Owner's & Service Manual
To review accumulated data after a program: The display automatically
cycles through your accumulated workout data during the Workout Review for
20 seconds (default setting). NOTE: Heart rate is not displayed during a
Workout Review.

Displaying Heart Rate

In order to display your heart rate, you must either use a Polar compatible
heart rate transmitter belt (not included) or hold the handgrips to use Contact
Heart Rate.
Contact Heart Rate - Hold the handgrips on the console crossbar until a
heart rate is displayed, typically less than thirty seconds. For best results, hold
the handgrips lightly and ensure that your hands contact both the front and
back sensors of each grip. NOTE: Hold your hands as steady as possible as
movement can cause interference on the contacts. Cybex does not recommend
continuous holding onto the contact heart rate grips during exercise.
Factors that can interfere with the heart rate signal include:
• excessive movement
• body composition
• hydration
• too loose grip
• too tight grip
• excessive dirt, powder or oil
• resting or leaning on the grips
Contaminants, such as hand lotions, oils or body powder, may come off on the
contact heart rate grips. These can reduce sensitivity and interfere with the
heart rate signal. Therefore, ensure you have clean hands when using the
contact heart rate.
Polar Compatible Reception - To use this feature, a Polar compatible heart
rate transmitter belt must be worn. To view heart rate continuously, press the
Scan key when the Heart LED is lit or press the Heart key. NOTE: When
wearing a Polar compatible transmitter, the contact heart rate will dominate only
when the grips are held.

Heart Rate LED

When the handgrips are held the center display switches to show the heart rate
in beats per minute (BPM) if you are not scanning. For several seconds the
display will show "---". Once the actual heart rate is determined the center
window displays the BPM and the Heart LED lights up. See Figure 2. The color
of the light represents a scale of low to high target heart rate.
