• Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with pulse detection. Slight
hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.
• Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.
• Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.

The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovascular system. Physical condi-
tions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be
several beats higher or lower than what is shown.

your intensity until your heart rate reaches between
±RI\RXUPD[LPXPKHDUWUDWH&RQWLQXHDW
that pace, keeping your heart rate in that target zone
for over 20 minutes. The longer you maintain your
target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.
The graph is a brief guideline, describing the gener-
ally suggested target heart rates based on age. As
noted above, your optimal target rate may be higher
or lower. Consult your physician for your individual
target heart rate zone.
