The Wireless Heart Rate Chest Strap - Life Fitness X30 User Manual

HE IRELESS EART ATE HEST TRAP
The exercise bike is equipped with wireless, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin,
transfer heart rate signals to the exercise bike console. These electrodes are attached to a wireless heart rate chest strap
that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap is included with the exercise bike.
See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on the
underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten
the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable
enough to allow for normal breathing.
The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with skin. However, it also
functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.
If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest
to expose the two electrodes, and moisten them.

NOTE: Using the wireless chest strap will provide more accurate heart rate readings than the hand pulse sensors.
