Troubleshooting Heart Rate Issues
The following chart may help you understand and
troubleshoot erratic heart rate readings.
Note: The following chart does not apply to the 9.23
treadmill where it concerns the chest strap since the chest
strap is only available on the 9.27. A heart rate is
detectable when the Precor heart rate receiver is properly
installed in the display and the unit is turned ON. The
touch-sensitive grips are available on both models.
Table 3. Erratic heart rate readings
Note: To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart,
the electrode strips on the chest strap must be in contact
with the user’s skin. Usually, the concentration of salts in a
person’s perspiration provides enough conductivity to
transmit a signal to the receiver in the display console.
However, because of body chemistry or erratic heartbeats,
some people cannot use the heart rate feature.
What appears
on the display
Cause What to Do
Nothing The heart rate
receiver is not
installed or it
has been
disconnected. To receive Customer
Support, refer to
Obtaining Service.
— — — A signal is being
detected, but the
transmission
requires more time
to establish a heart
rate. Begin your workout and
your heart rate should
appear if you are wearing
a chest strap or holding
the touch-sensitive grips.
Heart rate is not
detected when you
access the Heart
Rate Control
Programs. Be sure the chest strap is
moist, centered and in
direct program contact
with your skin. Stand
within three feet of the
display and face it. Allow
a few seconds
for the receiver to detect
a signal.
If using the touch-
sensitive handrail grips,
use both hands and make
sure your hands are
moist, not dry.
