heart rate monitoring. The system consists of the receiver, located on the step-
per, and a transmitter belt (purchased separately) worn across your chest. The
monitoring function is activated as soon as you strap on the chest belt and
step within range of the receiver in the machine. Two electrodes on the under-
side of the chest belt sense the heart rate signal and send it to the receiver.
The heart symbol on the console pulses to indicate that the console is receiv-
ing a valid signal. A microprocessor in the console calculates the heart rate
and displays it, in beats per minute, on the console.
Using the Transmitter Belt
Before you put the transmitter belt on, wet the two electrode patches
(the grooved rectangles on the reverse side of the belt). Secure the transmitter
belt as high under the pectoral muscles (chest) as is comfortable. The transmit-
ter belt should fit snugly and comfortably, and allow normal breathing. When
the console detects a heart rate signal, heart rate is shown in the display auto-
matically. Your heart rate in beats per minute and a pulsing heart icon are dis-
played on the console.
After the initial belt signal is detected, the console will enter a valida-
tion phase in which four good heart beat signals lasting four seconds are
required before locking on telemetry heart rate signals for the duration of the
workout session. During the validation phase the console will not recognize
