Troubleshooting Heart Rate Issues
The following chart may help you understand and
troubleshoot erratic heart rate readings.
Note: A heart rate can only be detected when the Precor
heart rate receiver is properly installed in the display and
the unit is turned ON. You must also wear the chest strap
during a workout.
Table 3. Erratic heart rate readings
Note: To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart,
the electrode strips on the chest strap must be in contact
with the user’s skin. Usually, the concentration of salts in a
person’s perspiration provides enough conductivity to
transmit a signal to the receiver in the display console.
However, because of body chemistry or erratic heartbeats,
some people cannot use the heart rate feature.
