Marketing Statement Regarding Heart Rate Acquisition on the Star Trac Spinning
®
Computer:
Star Trac takes the acquisition and accuracy of heart rate very seriously and has developed a system to perform to the best
ability that technology will allow. Star Trac has engineered a product that has taken every precaution possible to acquire an
accurate heart rate signal as well as eliminate “cross-talk” interference that may be caused by other monitors being placed too
close together.
To achieve the best possible results from your Spinning
®
Computer, please abide by the following important parameters:
1)
Users should wear Coded Transmitters (such as Polar
©
T61, Polar
©
T31C or Polar
©
WearLink
®
) when operating
the Spinner
®
bike with the Spinning Computer. Although all Polar-compatible transmitters are compatible with the
Spinning
®
Computer, the use of a Coded Transmitter will allow a “one to one” relationship with the Spinning
Computer and will minimize potential crosstalk interference. If users wear non-coded straps, there is significantly
increased potential for “cross-talk” which may cause erratic heart rate display and reduce the consistency of accurate
heart rate reporting. .
2)
Bikes should be spaced so that the side-to-side distance from the Spinning Computer on one bike and the Spinning
Computer on bikes to the left or right is at least 36 inches (91.4 cm). In addition, the distance from the bottom of the
Spinning Computer on one bike to the seat of the bike in front of it (where another rider and his/her transmitter would
be seated) should be at least 24 inches (61 cm) in order to significantly reduce chances for interference. Please see
the diagram on page 19.
3)
Calorie calculations are displayed as a summary only and will ONLY be shown if a user utilizes a heart rate strap
throughout the entire workout.
If there are any questions regarding operation or usage of the Spinning Computer, please contact Star Trac Customer Support
at 800-503-1221.
