fIve : heart rate Control workouts

The heart rate monitor transmitter strap provided with your
treadmill should be worn directly against your skin at about one
inch below the pectoral muscles/breast line. Women should be
careful to place the transmitter below their bra line.
Some moisture is necessary between the strap and your skin. Sweat
from your exercise works best, but ordinary tap water may be used
prior to your workout if desired.
If the transmitter strap is adjusted or moved while exercising,
communication may be temporarily affected.
If communication is lost for 30 seconds, the treadmill will
automatically shut off.
The transmitter strap sends a low-level radio signal to the treadmill,
so interference from other radio and sound waves (including
everything from cordless telephones to loudspeakers) is possible.
The good news is that interference is usually quite brief. If you
continue to have intermittent heart rate display problems, consult
your local service technician, as the transmitter strap batteries may
be low.
Make sure you breath smoothly and regularly.
Talking during your workout usually causes heart rate spikes of five
beats per minute or more, so avoid talking as much as possible.
Maintain a smooth walking or running motion.
A grounded outlet is critical for the HRC system to
function properly. Use a dedicated 110 VAC, grounded
outlet to help prevent interference.
