2.1 Wireless Heart Rate Monitoring
The console is equipped with a wireless heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed
against the skin, transfer heart rate signals from the user to the console. The electrodes are inside the
chest strap (A) that the user wears during the workout. The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart
rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. However it functions properly
through a thin layer of wet clothing. The electrodes are two grooved surfaces on the underside of
the strap, and must remain wet to accurately transmit the electrical impulses of the heart back to the
receiver. To use, first moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles
as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.
Electrodes must be wet to work properly. If it becomes necessary to re-moisten, grasp the center of
the strap, pull it away from your chest to expose the electrodes, and moisten. See diagram below for
correct positioning of the strap.
Note: Using the wireless heart rate telemetry chest strap will provide more accurate heart rate
readings than the hand pulse sensors.
Note: To ensure the highest performance, use the wireless chest strap that was provided with the
product.

2.2 Contact Heart Rate
When using Contact Heart Rate make certain to grasp sensors firmly and keep hands still. If heart
rate seems substantially higher or lower than expected, remove hands from sensors until heart rate
disappears. Dry hands and grasp sensors again until heart rate seems accurate. If this does not
work you may need to slow the machine to get an accurate reading. We recommend, for safety and
accurate heart rate readings, that the user stand on the side rails when attempting to monitor heart
rate with contact electrodes.
Note: The contact heart rate system may be less or more accurate with different individuals.
