Heart Rate Monitor - Stairmaster Stratus Systems Owner's Manual

The StairMaster
monitoring. The system consists of the receiver, located near the front of the
cycle, and a transmitter belt, available separately from your StairMaster repre-
sentative, worn across your chest. The transmitter belt senses the heart beat and
sends a signal to the receiver. Your heart rate, in beats per minute, is shown on
the console text bar.
Before you put the transmitter belt on, wet the two contact patches (the
grooved rectangles on the reverse side of the belt). Secure the transmitter belt as
high under the pectoral muscles (breasts) as is comfortable. The transmitter belt
should fit snugly and comfortably and allow normal breathing.
When the console detects a heart rate signal, heart rate is shown in the
display automatically. The word "PULSE", your heart rate in beats per minute, and
a pulsing heart icon are displayed in the text bar.
If you display a statistic other than heart rate during your workout, you
can return to heart rate by pressing [PULSE] once or any other statistic key twice.
Heart rate is part of the workout stats scrolling display. Average heart rate is
shown at the end of your workout. If you wear a transmitter strap during the Fit
Test, the average heart rate at the end of each stage is automatically used when
estimating maximum aerobic capacity.
