Text
Nothing The heart rate circuitry
is not operating
correctly.
— — — A signal is being
detected, but the
treadmill requires
more information to
calculate your heart
rate.
What to Do
Contact Precor
Customer Support
(refer to Obtaining
Service).
Make sure you are
holding the
touch-sensitive grips
firmly, but not tightly.
Wait at least ten
seconds for your heart
rate to appear.
Note: To conduct electrical impulses from a user's
heart, the sensors in the touch-sensitive grips must be
in contact with the user's skin. Usually, the
concentration of salts in a person's perspiration
provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to
the receiver in the display console. However, because
of body chemistry or erratic heartbeats, some people
cannot use the heart rate feature.
