  If your Nautilus Elliptical Trainer operates but does not display Telemetric HR: * Ensure the strap is "POLAR®" compatible and uncoded. Make sure the strap is directly against the skin and the contact area is wet. * If the strap has replaceable batteries, install new batteries. * Select the Edit User Profile option and ensure the WIRELESS HR setting is set to ON. * Try moving the unit away from sources of interference like TVs or microwaves. * If eliminating interference doesn't work, replace the strap. * If the HR still doesn't function, replace the Console.
