Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 12
Using the Heart Rate
Touch-Sensitive Handrail Grips
While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive
handrail grips for a minimum of five to ten seconds to
transmit your heart rate to the display. Refer to Diagram 9.
Diagram 9: Touch-sensitive handrail grips
Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s
perspiration provides enough conductivity to transmit a
signal to the receiver inside the display console. However,
some people, because of body chemistry or erratic heart
beats cannot use the touch-sensitive heart rate feature on
the treadmill. Using a chest strap on the 9.27 may provide
better results.
Important: While exercising, do not grasp the touch-
sensitive handrail grips and wear the chest strap at the
same time. The touch-sensitive handrail grips override the
signals from the chest strap transmitter. If used together,
inconsistent readings may occur.
