Using Heart Rate Transmitter (Optional) - Sole Fitness F63 Owner's Manual

USING HEART RATE TRANSMITTER
How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.
2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to
remain comfortable.
3. Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your body facing
away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of
center). Attach the final end of the elastic strap by inserting the round end and,
using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest.
4. Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.
5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals. However, plain water can
also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on the reverse side of the belt and both sides of
the transmitter). It's also recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work
out. Some users, because of body chemistry, have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal
at the beginning. After "warming up", this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the
transmitter/strap doesn't affect performance.
6. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong steady
signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the console to maintain
good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of
proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, moisten the areas of the
shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.
Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user's heart. Additionally, it
automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant,
moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the
transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement
battery is Panasonic CR2032.
ERRATIC OPERATION
Caution! Do not use this treadmill for Heart Rate Control unless a steady, solid Actual Heart Rate value is being
displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem.
Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate:
1. Microwave ovens, TV's, small appliances, etc.
2. Fluorescent lights.
3. Some household security systems.
4. Perimeter fence for a pet.
5. Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have problems
try wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the logo is right side up.
6. The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source, turning the
whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.
7. Loose treadmill console or bolts in the upright tube.
8. Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3' of your machine's console.
If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
WARNING! - DO NOT USE THE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM IF YOUR HEART RATE IS NOT
REGISTERING PROPERLY ON THE TREADMILL'S DISPLAY!
