Verifying That the Heart Rate Display Is
Operational
To verify that the heart rate display is operational:
1. Begin exercising on the equipment.
2. Grasp both touch-sensitive handlebars.
Note: The heart rate is read within ten seconds. During
that time, the heart on the display flashes. You must
maintain contact with both metal plates on each
handlebar to ensure an accurate reading.
3. Look at the HEART RATE display. After a few seconds, a
number appears indicating your heart rate.
4. If a number does not appear in the HEART RATE display,
perform the following checks:
– Verify that the cable connection is properly
connected.
– Repeat the test with a different person. Although the
heart rate display is generally highly accurate, it may
not work properly for a few individuals.
Note: If you use wireless heart rate monitoring, repeat
this test using a chest strap or a wireless pulse simulator
instead of grasping the touch-sensitive handlebars.
