The Heart Rate Telemetry Chest Strap
The console is equipped with a wireless heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the
skin, transfer heart rate signals from the user to the console. The electrodes are inside the chest strap (A) that
the user wears during the workout. The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the
electrodes are in direct contact with the skin, or a thin layer of wet clothing. The electrodes are two grooved
surfaces on the underside of the strap, and must remain wet to accurately transmit the electrical impulses of the
heart back to the receiver. To use, first moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest
muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing. Electrodes
must be wet to work properly. If it becomes necessary to re-moisten, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away
from your chest to expose the electrodes, and moisten. See diagram below for correct positioning of the strap.

The exercise bike is equipped with wireless, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed against the skin,
transfer heart rate signals to the exercise bike console. These electrodes are attached to a wireless heart rate chest strap that
the user wears during the workout. The chest strap is included with the exercise bike.
See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on the
underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten
the electrodes. Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable
enough to allow for normal breathing.
The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with skin. However, it also
functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.
If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to
expose the two electrodes, and moisten them.
NOTE: Using the wireless chest strap will provide more accurate heart rate readings than the hand pulse sensors.
