ING A HEART RATE
The Bodyguard
®
Heart Rate receiver supplied with each elliptical is specifically designed to
work in conjunction with the optional Heart Rate Chest Strap. The Heart Rate System allows
the computer to monitor your heart rate, or pulses per minute. This value is shown on the
computer screen and should only be used as a guide in helping you achieve your personal fit-
ness goals.
If no Heart Rate System is used, a zero (0) heart rate value will be displayed on the computer
screen. Before using any heart rate system on any exercise equipment, it is important to con-
sult with a physician prior to commencing any exercise program.
WARNING – Before attempting to use any of this equipment, you should read the instruction
manual carefully. Use of this equipment by persons with heart or other medical problems may
result in serious injury. You should consult with a physician prior to using this equipment. It is
recommended to periodically consult your physician as you continue to use this equipment.
Immediately cease exercise if you feel dizzy, faint or short of breath. Use of this equipment in
a manner other than as prescribed by these instructions herewith may result in serious injury.
As a guide to effective exercising, to determine your recommended heart rate training zone,
find your age on the heart rate chart (refer to page 4) and read the heart rate target zone
based on various intensity levels. These levels include fat burning zone, cardiovascular zone and
aerobic zone.
TIP – Sometimes you will need to moisten the back of the heart rate chest strap to obtain a sig-
nal. Use a few drops of water to moisten the chest strap, then place directly over the skin. The
chest strap does not work properly when placed over clothing.
