What to do if Nustep T5XR shows no heart rate when holding contact grips?

  If your NuStep fitness equipment isn't displaying your heart rate when holding the contact grips, there are several potential reasons. First, allow 12-15 seconds for the heart rate to register by holding both grips steadily. Ensure you're grasping both sensors with both hands, maintaining a consistent grip without varying tension or position. If your hands are too wet, dry them off before grasping the sensors.

  If your NuStep fitness equipment isn't reading your heart rate when using a chest strap, several factors could be the cause. Ensure the chest strap electrodes are sufficiently wet. Verify you're using a coded chest strap transmitter. Also, review the instructions to ensure the chest strap transmitter electrodes are making direct contact with your skin.

Why is there no heart rate display on my Nustep Fitness Equipment when using a Polar chest strap?

  Karen GrantAug 27, 2025
  If you're not seeing a heart rate display on your NuStep Fitness Equipment while using a Polar chest strap, make sure the chest strap electrodes are adequately wet. Also, ensure you are using a coded chest strap transmitter; if not, contact NuStep to order one. The issue could also be due to an expired battery in the chest strap transmitter, in which case you should contact Polar USA. Finally, confirm that the chest strap transmitter electrodes are making direct contact with your skin, following the provided instructions for proper placement.
