USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
The unit is equipped with heart rate pulse grips.
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips can provide a relative
estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some
people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring
system like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy of
your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general. Please consult your physician.
PULSE GRIPS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart
rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping
the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose,
cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to
clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER
When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate can be transmitted wirelessly to the unit
and displayed on the console.
Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center
the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE:
The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is
too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.
