USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION

The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips
can provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied
on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac
rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system
like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect
the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an
exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
PULSE GRIPS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip
the bars for your heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds)
for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly.
Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold.
You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars.
Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER

When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate
can be transmitted wirelessly to the unit and displayed on the console.
Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber
electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles,
directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight and
properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose,
or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.
WARNING!
Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercising may result in
serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately.
