Reading Your Heart Rate - LifeSpan TR8000i Owner's Manual

Reading Your Heart Rate

Contact Heart Rate Sensors are built into the front handlebar of the TR7000i/TR8000i treadmill to monitor your
heart rate during exercise. To use, grasp the sensors with a comfortable grip, with the palms of your hands placed
over the sensors. If the sensors are having difficulty picking up your heart rate you may consider using aloe or a
moisturizer on your hands or you can warm up as you exercise to increase the moisture in your hands.
Dry hands do not transfer your pulse as effectively as moist hands.
Do not squeeze tightly as this can cause your blood pressure to rise. It will take a few seconds for the console to
calculate your heart rate accurately.
In addition to the contact heart rate sensors, this treadmill has a built-in receiver for the use of a wireless chest
strap. Our receiver is compatible with the non-coded Polar type transmitter.
Warning! Heart rate monitoring may not always be accurate. Over exercising may result in serious injury or
death. If you feel faint stop exercising immediately.
