Heart rate measuring CAUTION: Your training equipment is not a medical device. Different factors may influence the accuracy of the heart rate display. The heart rate display only serves as a training aid. Telemetric heart rate measuring This ergometer is already equipped with a heart rate receiver as standard. Using a chest strap makes it possible for you to have a wireless heart rate measuring.
