Displaying Heart Rate

In order for the TROTTER Elite to display your heart rate, you must either use a Polar
compatible heart rate transmitter belt (not included) or hold the handgrips to use Contact
Heart Rate.
Contact Heart Rate — Hold the handgrips on the console crossbar until a heart rate is
displayed, typically less than thirty seconds. For best results, hold the handgrips lightly and
ensure that your hands contact both the front and back sensors of each grip. NOTE: Hold
your hands as steady as possible as movement can cause interference on the contacts.
Factors that can interfere with the heart rate signal include:
• excessive movement
• body composition
• hydration
• too loose grip
• too tight grip
• running
• excessive dirt, powder or oil
• leaning or resting on grips
NOTE: Cybex does not recommend continuous holding onto the contact heart rate grips
during exercise.
Contaminants, such as hand lotions, oils or body powder, may come off on the contact heart
rate grips. These can reduce sensitivity and interfere with the heart rate signal. Therefore,
ensure you have clean hands when using the contact heart rate.
