telemetry compatible.  The heart rate control workout mode allows 
the user to program their desired heart rate zone, and the Ascent 
Trainer will automatically adjust the level based upon the user's 
heart rate.  The heart rate zone is calculated using the following 
equation:(220-Age)8%=targetheartratezone.Theusermustwear
a POLAR telemetric strap or continually hold onto the contact heart 
rate grips for this workout.  
Locate the metal sensors on the handlebars of the Ascent Trainer.  
Notice that there are two separate pieces of metal on each grip.
