Heart Rate Monitoring Devices
Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)
The 960Sr is heart rate controlled and comes standard with stainless steel pulse hand-
grips. To activate, gently grasp both handgrips to obtain a heart rate reading.
(Note: It is recommended to wear a chest strap for Heart Rate control program, as it
is more accurate. If you wear a chest strap and use hand grips at the same time for
heart rate monitoring purpose, please note the console will take the measurement of
the chest strap.)
If you are not getting a consistent reading while using the hand pulse option, we
recommend the following suggestions:
• Moisten your hands if you have not already worked up a sweat; the grips need
to be slightly moist to transmit properly
• Make sure that the palms of the hands are touching the contact area of each
hand pulse grip.
• Maintain an even pressure on the grips.
• Do not hold the hand pulse grips too tightly.
Chest Strap (Standard)
The 960Sr is equipped with a built-in receiver and a chest strap for your heart rate
monitoring. To get an accurate reading using this device, you will need to be with-
in three feet of the console, and a minimum of four feet from others using a heart
rate monitoring device.
(Note: The transmitter may fluctuate erratically if you are too close to other heart
rate monitoring equipment or if there are other electronics near by, such as TV, cell
phone, etc...)
The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console. While using heart
rate control programs, the computer monitors the exact measurement of and con-
trol over the activity of the heart. Heart rate is displayed while the computer con-
tinually compares heart rate to the preprogrammed personal data. The computer
adjusts the pedal resistance level to maintain heart rate at the optimum setting.
