Make sure unit is plugged into a functioning wall outlet.
Connection should be secure and undamaged. Replace adapter
or connection at unit if either are damaged.
All wires in cable should be intact. If any are visibly crimped or
cut, replace cable.
Be sure cable is connected securely and oriented properly. Small
latch on connector should line up and snap into place.
Check for visual sign that console display is cracked or otherwise
damaged. Replace Console if damaged.
If Console only has partial display and all connections are fine,
replace the Console.
If the above steps do not resolve the problem, contact Customer
Care for further assistance.
Be sure cable is connected securely to Console.
Be sure cables from handlebars and cable to Console are secure
and undamaged.
Be sure hands are centered on HR sensors. Hands must be kept
still with relatively equal pressure applied to each side.
Sensors may have difficulty with dried out or calloused hands.
A conductive electrode cream (heart rate cream) can help make
better conduct. These are available on the web or at medical or
some larger fitness stores.
If tests reveal no other issues, Static Handlebar should be re-
placed.
Strap should be "POLAR ® " compatible and uncoded. Make sure
strap is directly against skin and contact area is wet.
Try moving unit away from sources of interference (TV, Micro-
wave, etc).
If interference is eliminated and HR does not function, replace
strap.
If HR still does not function, replace Console.
Make sure that the HR receiver is not blocked by a personal
electronic device in the left side of the media tray.
All wires in cable should be intact. If any are cut or crimped,
replace cable.
Be sure cable is connected securely and oriented properly. Small
latch on connector should line up and snap into place.
If tests reveal no other issues, contact Customer Care.
