Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 16
Using the Heart Rate
Touch-Sensitive Handrail Grips
Note: Touch heart rate performance may vary based on a
user’s physiology, fitness level, age, and other factors. You
may experience an erratic readout if your hands are dry,
dirty, or oily, or if the skin on your palms is especially thick.
Wearing hand lotion can also cause an erratic readout. In
addition, make sure that the sensors are clean to ensure
proper contact can be maintained.
To use the touch heart rate feature, place the palm of your
hands directly on the metal heart rate sensors on the
equipment’s handlebars. Refer to Diagram 6. To ensure a
more accurate heart rate readout, make sure you follow
these tips:
• Both hands must grip the sensors for your heart rate to
register.
• It takes a number of consecutive heart beats (15-20
seconds) for your heart rate to register.
• When gripping the sensors, do not grip tightly. Keep a
loose, cupping hold. Holding the grips tightly can affect
the reading.
• As you work out, your perspiration will help transmit
your heart rate signal. If you have difficulty using the
handheld grips to determine your heart rate, try the
sensors again later in the workout to see if you can
obtain a heart rate signal.
• If the touch heart rate feature does not work for you,
Precor recommends that you use a chest transmitter
strap.
Diagram 6: Touch-sensitive handrail grips
Important: While exercising, do not grasp the touch-
sensitive handrail grips and wear the chest strap at the
same time. The touch-sensitive handrail grips override the
signals from the chest strap transmitter. If used together,
inconsistent readings may occur.
