CONTACT HEART RATE
The X8 includes hand pulse sensors on the stationary handlebar that are a built-in heart rate monitoring system. During
a workout grasp the hand pulse sensors to monitor your heart rate. If your console comes equipped with a heart rate
chest strap we recommend using it during workouts and using the hand pulse sensors to only to occasionally monitor
your heart rate when not using the chest strap. In addition, to utilize heart rate controlled workouts the chest strap must
be used. For the most accurate reading, use a comfortable grip. The console will show a heart rate reading after 15 to
20 seconds.
Hand pulse sensors can work differently with different body types. With some individuals it can be very difficult to extract
a heart rate reading. Follow the below tips to improve the heart rate reading.
· Remove your hands from the heart rate sensors and wait for the heart rate display to clear. Grasp sensors
again.
· Make sure hands are fully contacting the sensors.
· Dry hands periodically during use.
· Limit movement.
· Clean hand pulse sensors.
Note: The heart rate hand pulse sensors provide an approximate heart rate value. The sensors are not medical devices
and should not be used in any type of medical application.

through to encourage a more natural feeling stride.
