2. Install the App.
When notified that there is an update to your fitness machine, follow the prompts on the App. Place the device that is run-
ning the App on the Media Tray. The App will update the software on the machine with the latest version. Do not remove
your device from the Media Tray until the update is complete. The machine will return to the Welcome Screen when the
update is completed.
USB Charging
Your machine is equipped with a USB Port to allow it to charge some devices. Simply attach a USB Cable (not included)
to the USB Port, and attach your device to the other end of the USB Cable. The power supplied from the USB Port may
not be enough to operate the Device and charge it at the same time.
Note: The USB Port is only for charging and unable to play audio from the speakers on the Console.
Remote Heart Rate Monitor
Monitoring your Heart Rate is one of the best procedures to control the intensity of your exercise. Contact Heart Rate
(CHR) sensors are installed to send your heart rate signals to the Console. The Console can also read telemetry heart
rate (HR) signals from a Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter that operates in the 4.5kHz - 5.5kHz range.
Note: The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from Polar Electro or an uncoded POLAR
patible model. (Coded POLAR
equipment.)
If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor before using a wireless
chest strap or other telemetric heart rate monitor.
Contact Heart Rate Sensors
Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stainless steel
parts of the Handlebars. To use, put your hands comfortably around the sensors. Be sure that your hands touch both the
top and the bottom of the sensors. Hold firm, but not too tight or loose. Both hands must make contact with the sensors for
the Console to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.
Once the Console has your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10 to 15 seconds. The Console will now
validate the heart rate. Many factors influence the ability of the sensors to detect your heart rate signal:
• Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere
with pulse detection. Slight hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.
• Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.
• Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.
• The proximity of other electronic machines can generate interference.
If your heart rate signal ever seems erratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the sensors and try again.
Heart Rate Calculations
Your maximum heart rate usually decreases from 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to approximately 160 BPM by
age 60. This fall in heart rate is usually linear, decreasing by approximately one BPM for each year. There is no indication
that training influences the decrease in maximum heart rate. Individuals of the same age could have different maximum
