Wet the belt transmitter electrodes (see
Section 4.2).
Ensure the belt transmitter electrodes are
laying flat against the skin (see Section
4.2).
Wash the belt transmitter with mild soap
and water.
Make sure the chest strap transmitter is
within 3 ft. (0.9 m) of the heart rate re-
ceiver.
Contact Life Fitness Customer Support
Services for instructions on how to have
the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap
replaced.
Make sure the Polar telemetry heart rate
chest strap is properly attached to the
user's chest and move closer to the heart
rate receiver inside the console. Wait up to
10 seconds for the heart rate to display on
the console.
The overall range of the heart rate strap is
approximately 3 ft. (0.9 m) after it commu-
nicates with the receiver. The strap must
be 1.5 - 2 ft. (0.5 - 0.6 m) away from the re-
ceiver in order to start communicating.
When the display shows a heart rate value
stay within 3 ft. (0.9 m).
Notes:
1. Ensure proper adherence of the Polar
telemetry heart rate chest strap to user's
chest.
2. Ensure proper conductivity between the
electrodes and user's chest.
3. If needed, use the Polar watch to verify
chest strap's operation.
