The StairMaster
The system consists of the receiver, located on the stepper, and a transmitter belt
(purchased separately) worn across your chest. The monitoring function is
activated as soon as you strap on the chest belt and step within range of the
receiver in the machine. Two electrodes on the underside of the chest belt sense
the heart rate signal and send it to the receiver. The heart symbol on the console
pulses to indicate that the console is receiving a valid signal. A microprocessor in
the console calculates the heart rate and displays it, in beats per minute, on the
console.

Using the Transmitter Belt

PACEMAKER USERS SHOULD NOT USE THE POLAR
TRANSMITTER BEFORE CONSULTING THEIR DOCTOR.
Before you put the transmitter belt on, wet the two electrode patches
(the grooved rectangles 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. When the
console detects a heart rate signal, heart rate is shown in the display automati-
cally. Your heart rate in beats per minute and a pulsing heart icon are displayed
on the console.
After the initial belt signal is detected, the console will enter a valida-
tion 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. During the validation phase the console will not recognize
