Using A Chest Strap Transmitter; (9.27 Model Only) - Precor 9.23 Owner's Manual

Using a Chest Strap Transmitter

(9.27 model only)

Signals used by the Chest Strap
WARNING
Transmitter (or heart rate strap)
may interfere with pacemakers
or other implanted devices.
Consult your physician and the
manufacturers of your Chest
Strap Transmitter and implanted
device before using a Chest
Strap Transmitter.
Wearing a chest strap transmitter during your workout
provides steady heart rate information. For the equipment
to detect your heart rate, you must grip the touch heart rate
sensors or wear a chest strap transmitter while exercising.
In the presence of both touch and wireless data, the touch
data takes precedence and will display.
Note: To receive an accurate reading, the strap needs to
be in direct contact with the skin on the lower sternum (just
below the bust line for women).
Important: While exercising, do not grasp the
touch-sensitive heart rate grips and wear the chest strap
at the same time. The touch-sensitive heart rate grips
override the signals from the chest strap transmitter. If
used together, inconsistent readings may occur.
Owner's Manual: Heart Rate Features
To use a chest strap transmitter:
Note: A chest strap is not included with this model.
1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water.
Important: Do not use deionized water. It does not
have the proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical
impulses.
2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The
strap should feel snug, not restrictive.
3. Make sure that the chest strap is right-side-up, lies
horizontally across, and is centered in the middle of
your chest.

4. Test the chest strap placement by checking the heart
rate function on the equipment. If a heart rate is
registering, your chest strap placement is correct.
5. If the equipment does not register a heart rate, readjust
the strap and recheck the heart rate function.
