The heart rate monitor transmitter strap should be worn
according to the guidelines in Chapter 2.
If the transmitter strap is adjusted or moved while exercising,
heart rate monitoring may be temporarily affected.
If communication is lost for 30 seconds, the elliptical will exit
the HRC workout into a manual workout.
The transmitter strap sends a low-level radio signal to the
elliptical, so interference from other radio and sound waves
(including everything from cordless telephones to
loudspeakers) is possible. The good news is that this
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 breathe 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.
Two users wearing the same kind of transmitter at the same
time and in close proximity may cause false heart rate display
readings.
