Heart Rate Monitoring
chapter one: basic operations
This treadmill can monitor your heart rate using either a chest
strap or the metal grips on the hand rails (called contact heart
rate or CHR pads). A chest strap transmits your heart rate to
the treadmill via radio, and the CHR pads connect to a special
computer circuit to extract your heart rate.
Although this treadmill functions fine without using the heart rate
monitoring feature, this kind of monitoring gives you valuable
feedback on your effort level. Chest strap monitoring also allows
you to use HRC (Heart Rate Control)®, the most advanced exercise
control system available.
When you wear a Polar® or compatible transmitter strap, the
treadmill will display your heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute
(bpm) readout.
The transmitter strap should be worn directly
against your skin, about one inch below the
pectoral muscles/breast line (see picture).
Women should be careful to place the
transmitter below their bra line.
Some moisture is necessary between the strap
and your skin. Sweat from your exercise works
best, but ordinary tap water may be used prior
to your workout if desired.
