Heart Rate Troubleshooting
** CAUTION **
Do not stand on
the running belt
while performing
these steps.
Before any troubleshooting is performed, verify that the heart rate grips are being used
and maintained properly.
Symptom:
Intermittent or erratic heart rate reading.
1. User failing to grip all four rings completely with both left and right hands
2. An excessively tight grip on the rings can cause erratic readings. The
probability of erratic readings can be therefore lessened by:
---- reduced upper torso movement
---- a proper grasp on the grips
---- clean hands
---- clean grips
3. Excessive foreign matter (dirt) on the hands can generate electrical
interference which will cause erratic readings.
4. Clean and wipe heart rate grips after each use, for optimum results.
