Wireless Heart Rate Does Not Work
1. Verify wireless heart rate with a known good chest strap transmitter or test transmitter.
If the heart rate reading is erratic, incorrect, or absent, continue.
NOTE: It may be necessary to lean in closer to the console at first to allow receiver to
begin to acquire a heart rate signal.
2. Verify that the HHHR board has the correct operating voltage. Connect a voltmeter to
VCC and Ground on the Power/Signal connector. The voltage should read between 4.5
and 5.5 Vdc.
3. Identify other sources of wireless interference signals in close proximity to the unit (such
1
as Wi-Fi networks, cordless phones, etc.).
NOTE: Wi-Fi network is transmitting in close proximity to the treadmill the heart rate
system MAY pick it up. Using an ohmmeter, verify that upper and lower PCAs have a
good electrical path to chassis ground.
4. If the preceding procedures do not correct the problem, replace the heart rate board.

Wi-Fi Network Routers
