Heart Rate (functional only if a heart rate strap is worn
and detected)
Heart Rate Monitor Receiver Installation
A cover plate securing the wire harnesses in place is located on the
underside of the handlebar. Beneath the cover plate and immediately
behind the emergency stop switch is a 3-pin connector matching the
one on the Heart Rate Receiver Unit. It may be necessary to remove
the screw noted in the illustration and carefully bend the flexible cover
plate to gain access to this connector. DO NOT remove the entire cover
plate. Once located, snap the two connectors together.
You will notice four rectangular cutouts on the plate covering the
emergency stop switch. These correspond to the four tabs on the
housing of the Receiver Unit. Align the cutouts with the tabs and
carefully snap the unit securely into place to complete the installation
procedure.
The Life Fitness Heart Rate program, the most accurate Heart Rate
monitoring system available on any treadmill, takes the guesswork out
of working out. This revolutionary heart rate management system
automatically adjusts your incline to keep you at your appropriate target
heart rate while you exercise. Under-training and over-training are
eliminated.
NOTE: The Heart Rate program will not activate without
acknowledgment from the optional Heart Rate Management
System, which includes a chest strap and receiver.
Using the Chest Strap
Wet the electrodes of the transmitter (the two grooved surfaces on the
underside of the strap) and secure the strap as high under the chest
muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough
to allow for normal breathing.
UNDERSIDE OF HANDLEBAR
The transmitter strap will deliver an optimum heart rate reading when
the electrodes are directly in contact with bare skin. Also, it will function
properly through wet, lightweight clothing. The key to proper operation
is for the electrodes to remain wet to conduct the electrical impulses of
the heart back to the receiver.
Ifitbecomes necessary to moisten the chest strap transmitter, just grasp
the center of the transmitter and pull it away from the chest to expose
the two electrodes and moisten them in this position.
