Using a chest-belt
You may use a (compatible) chest belt with this device or you can use the heart rate sensors on the
handgrips to measure your heart frequency. If you use a chest belt, pay attention to the instructions of the
chest belt – however, generally a connection between a chest belt and your device may be established
like this:
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the lock button.
2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to
remain comfortable.
3. Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your torso
facing away from your chest (some people must position the transmitter
slightly left of center). Attach the final end of the elastic strap by inserting the
round end and, using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and strap
around your chest.
4. Position the transmitter directly below the pectoral muscles.
5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals.
6. However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on the reverse
side of the belt and both sides of the transmitter). It’s also recommended that you wear the
transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because of body chemistry, have
a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After “warming up”, this
problem lessens.
7. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong
steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the
console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter directly on bare skin
assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, wet
the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.
Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart.
Additionally, it automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter
is water resistant, moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take
precautions to completely dry the transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter
battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery needs to be of the type CR2032.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
WARNING: The effect that the safety level of the equipment can be maintained only if it is
examined regularly for damage and wear. The components which are most susceptible to wear:
Belt、Idler、roller、Desk、Tread-belt.
Belt and Deck - Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction deck. Performance is
maximized when the deck is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth or paper towel
to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. Also reach as far
as practical directly under the belt edge. This should be done once every other month to
extend belt and deck life. Use water only - no cleaners or abrasives. A mild soap and water
solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt. Allow the belt to
dry before using.
Belt Dust - This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Wiping excess off
with a damp cloth will minimize buildup.
