Troubleshooting The Optional Polar® Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap - Life Fitness Integrity Series Operation Manual

7.3 Troubleshooting the Optional Polar® Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap
Malfunction
Heart rate reading is
initially detected and
functioning
normally but then is
lost.
Heart rate readings are
abnormally elevated
40
Probable Cause
Use of personal electronic
devices, such as cell phones
and portable MP3 players,
causes external noise
interference.
Equipment is in close proximity
to other sources of noise such
as audio/ video equipment,
fans, two way radios, and high
voltage/high current power
lines.
Television sets and/or
antennas generate electromag-
netic interference.
Cell phones generate
electromagnetic interference.
Computers generate
electromagnetic interference.
Cars generate electromagnetic
interference.
High voltage power lines
generate electromagnetic
interference.
Motor driven exercise
equipment generates electro-
magnetic interference.
Another heart rate transmitter
within 3 feet (1 meter)
generates electromagnetic
interference.
Corrective Action
Remove the source of noise
or reposition the exercise
equipment.
Move the Cross-Trainer a few inches away from the prob-
able cause, or move the probable cause a few inches
away from the Cross-Trainer, until the heart rate readings
are accurate.
