Precor Heart Rate Option—Safety Guidelines
The Precor Heart Rate Option was created and designed exclusively for Precor products.
The equipment is extremely sensitive—you should use the heart rate option with this in
mind and take time to read the following guidelines:
• Handle the Precor Heart Rate Option with care. Do not drop the equipment. It might
damage the transmitter and you could void the manufacturer s limited warranty.
• Do not use the chest strap near strong electromagnetic radiation sources. Television
sets, electric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can interfere with the
heart rate signal that is being transmitted to the receiver and might affect the heart
rate readings that appear on the electronic console.
