Chest Strap Operation
Your Endurance
®
Elliptical has the capability to determine Heart Rate with the use of
a Heart Rate Chest Strap. A Heart Rate Chest Strap has been provided with your unit
or may be available as an accessory for use with your unit depending on the Endur-
ance
®
model purchased. In all Heart Rate Control programs, the console only accepts
the heart rate signal from the chest strap transmitter while the pulse grip heart rate
function is disabled. The requirement to wear the chest strap is due to the superior
accuracy of a chest strap transmitter compared to the pulse grip sensors.
It is suggested for the Chest Strap Transmitter that you position the rectangular trans-
mitter as close to your heart as possible, against the skin, 1-2 inches below the pecto-
ral muscles. For best results, moisten the back of the transmitter for better contact.
If no Heart Rate signal is detected for 10 seconds, the MESSAGE WINDOW will show “NO
DETECTED HR”. If this continues for 40 seconds, the MESSAGE WINDOW will show “ABORT
PROGRAM” for 3 seconds then interrupt the Heart Rate Control program and return to
Program Mode.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND TIPS FOR CHEST STRAP
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that all users of this unit have read the
Owner’s Manual and are familiar with warnings and safety precautions.
Do not place chest strap near devices that generate large magnetic elds. TV sets,
electric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can aect the transmitter’s
performance. These items can interfere with the heart rate signal and possibly af-
fect the heart rate readings on the console.
Handle the Chest Strap with care. Dropping the transmitter might cause damage
that could void the warranty.
Do not use the chest strap if you have a cardiac pacemaker or if your are taking
medications for a heart condition. Medication or electrical pulses from the pace-
maker can interfere with accurate heart rate readings.
Do not bend the strips inside the chest strap. This can cause the chest strap to
loose conductivity.
The chest strap has batteries that need to be replaced periodically. A faulty battery
can cause inaccurate reading.
