Using Your Transmitter Belt - Nautilus T514 Owner's Manual

heart rate monitoring helps you monitor your level of exertion by displaying your heart rate during exercise. there are two
methods of monitoring heart rate on the Sport Series treadmills:
• telemetry (e.g., Polar®) belt. the wireless heart rate chest belt supplied with your
treadmill transmits the heart beat signal to the receiver in the treadmill. the display
shows the heart rate in beats per minute and uses the heart rate value in heart rate
control mode. (See Programming instructions for more information)
• Contact heart rate (t518 model Only). Sensors on the hand grip detect heart rate and
display it on the controller.
teleMetry Heart rate
the telemetry heart rate monitoring system consists of the receiver, located in the treadmill, and a transmitter belt worn
across your chest. the monitoring function is activated as soon as you strap on the transmitter belt and step within range
of the receiver in the machine. two electrodes on the underside of the transmitter belt sense the heart rate signal and
send it to the receiver. On the lC display, the heart symbol on the display pulses to indicate that the display is receiving
a valid signal. On the le-X, the far right decimal point on the top row of displays pulses to indicate that the display is
receiving a valid signal (when the hR statistic is selected and shown on the display). On the le, the far right decimal
point in the heart Rate display pulses to indicate that the display is receiving a valid signal. A microprocessor in the
controller calculates the heart rate and shows it, in beats per minute, on the display.

usInG your transMItter belt

Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap. Before you put the transmitter belt on, wet the two electrode patches (the
grooved area on the reverse side of the belt). Secure the transmitter belt as high under the pectoral muscles (chest) as is
comfortable. the transmitter belt should fit snugly and comfortably, and allow normal breathing.
After the initial heart rate signal is detected, the display will enter a validation phase in which four good heart beat signals
lasting four seconds are required before locking on
telemetry heart rate signals for the duration of the
workout session.
if your heart rate is not being displayed, try the
following:
• move closer to the display.
• tighten the elastic band on the transmitter belt.
• Adjust the belt higher or lower on your chest.
• Remoisten the electrodes.
• test your transmitter belt with a machine that you know is working, or with a heart rate watch that you know is
working.
this treadmill is compatible with most major chest belt brands, including brands that employ coded signal technology.
