RIDING YOUR BIKE
The contact heart rate system lets you monitor your heart rate
without wearing a strap.
Gently grasp the contact heart rate pads
as shown below.
When the system detects your hands, a
red heart will appear in the Heart Rate
field of the data display and will flash in
time with your heart beat. During this
time, the system is analyzing and
locking in your heart rate. Within about
15 seconds, your digital heart rate in
beats per minute (bpm) should be
displayed.

HEART RATE
(CHR)
A Note on CHR
Accuracy
CHR monitoring may be
a bit less accurate than
a chest strap, since the
heart rate signals are
much stronger at the
chest.
About 5% of the popula-
tion cannot be picked up
by any CHR system. This
is because their heart is
positioned in a more up-
and-down manner in
their chest, as opposed
to leaning over to one
side.
