sensors are installed to send your heart rate signals to the Console. The Console can also read telemetry HR signals from a
Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter that operates in the 4.5kHz - 5.5kHz range.
Note: The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from Polar Electro or an uncoded POLAR

ible model. (Coded POLAR

If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor before using a wireless chest strap or
other telemetric heart rate monitor.
Contact Heart Rate Sensors
Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stainless steel parts
of the Handlebars. To use, put your hands comfortably around the sensors. Be sure that your hands touch both the top and
the bottom of the sensors. Hold firm, but not too tight or loose. Both hands must make contact with the sensors for the Con-
sole to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.
Once the Console has your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10 to 15 seconds. The Console will now
validate the heart rate. Many factors influence the ability of the sensors to detect your heart rate signal:
• 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.

a comfortable running style. If your heart rate signal ever seems erratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the sensors
and try again.
