side of the belt and either side of transmitter). Its also recommended that you wear the
transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because of body chemistry,
have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After warming
up, this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesnt affect
performance.
6. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver to achieve a
strong steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough
to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter immediately
against bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter
over a shirt. To do so, moisten the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.
Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart. Additionally, it
automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant, moisture
can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after
use to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery is Panasonic
CR2032.
Erratic Operation:
Caution! Do not use this elliptical for Heart Rate Control unless a steady, solid Actual
Heart Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed
indicate a problem.
Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate:
(1) Microwave ovens, T.V.s, small appliances, etc.
(2) Fluorescent lights.
(3) Some household security systems.
(4) Perimeter fence for a pet.
(5) Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you
have problems try wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented
so the Spirit logo is right side up.
(6) If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
Target HR
This program allows you to set a target heart rate and the machine will automatically adjust the
work load to safely reach the target and maintain that target.
Use the Up/Down keys to select the Target HR program and press Mode. The display will show
a number and the age icon at top will be blinking. Use the Up/Down keys to adjust the age and
press Mode. The display will now show a blinking percent number or the letters THR.
You may use the Up/Down keys to choose either 55%, 75%, 90% or THR. The percentage
choices will automatically set the target to a percent of your maximum heart rate, based on your
age. This is why it is important to adjust the age properly. The console will use a formula to
determine the correct percentage: 220 age = maximum HR. For example a 30 year old
persons Max HR is 190 BPM (220 30 = 190 BPM). If the 30 year old wants to work at 75%,
their target HR will be 142BPM.
If you want to choose to work at 75% - for example - then use the Up/Down arrows to highlight
75% and press mode. Now the Time window will be blinking and you can program it and other
data the same as other programs. If you want to set your own custom Target HR then use the
Up/Down arrow to highlight THR and press mode. The Pulse window will now be blinking. Use
the Up/Down arrows to set your own Target HR and press Mode to continue.
