Use of the Heart Rate Contact Grips
For those models with contact heart rate grips, simply
grip the contact pads lightly. After a short delay the
pulse reading will appear on the display. If a heart rate
transmitter strap is worn, it will override the contact
pickup.
The contact grips are not designed for use with SCIFIT's
Heart Rate Control program. This program requires a
steady, continuous telemetry signal which can not be
provided using contract heart rate grips.

Calculating Target Heart Rate Zone
Your approximate Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) is
equal to 220 minus your age. The upper limit of your
target zone is equal to 0.85 times your MHR. The lower
limit of your target zone is equal to 0.60 times your
MHR.
For Example:
Your age is 40:
220 - 40 = 180
180 x .85 = 153 (max MHR)
180 x .65 = 108 (min MHR)
These values are based upon averages, always consult
your physician to establish the proper Heart Rate Zone
for your individual health condition.
