Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 13
Using the Heart Rate
Touch-Sensitive Grips
While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive
handrail grips for a minimum of five to ten seconds to
transmit your heart rate to the display. Refer to Diagram 6.
Diagram 6: Touch-sensitive handrail grips
Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration
provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the
receiver inside the display console. However, some people,
because of body chemistry or erratic heart beats cannot use
the hand-held heart rate feature on the treadmill. A chest
strap may provide better results.
Important: While exercising, do not grasp the touch-
sensitive handrail grips and wear the chest strap at the
same time. The touch-sensitive handrail grips override the
signals from the chest strap transmitter. If used together,
inconsistent reading may occur.
