HEART
RATE READING IS ERRATIC OR ABSENT ENTIRELY
• Repeat the electrode wetting procedure. See Section 3.2, titled How to Use the Optional
Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap. The electrodes must be wet to pick up and transmit accu-
rate heart rate readings.
• Make sure the electrodes are flat against the skin.
• Wash the belt transmitter regularly with mild soap and water.
• Make sure the chest strap transmitter is within three feet (one meter) of the heart rate
receiver.
• The chest strap is battery operated and will eventually stop functioning. If the chest strap
transmitter battery is depleted, contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services at 1-800-
351-3737 for instructions on how to have the chest strap replaced.
HEART RATE READING IS ERRATIC OR EXTREMELY HIGH
When exercising with the optional heart rate chest strap, the user may come within range of
electromagnetic signals strong enough to cause abnormally elevated heart rate readings.
Possible sources of such signals include
• Television sets and/or antennas, cell phones, computers, cars, high voltage power lines and
motor driven exercise equipment.
• Another heart rate transmitter within three feet (one meter) may also cause abnormal heart
rate readings.
