TRAP
The Lifecycle Recumbent Bike is equipped with Polar telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in
which electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the bike console. These
electrodes are attached to a chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap is
optional. To order it, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services. See Section 6.5, titled How to
Obtain Product Service.
See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two
grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the elec-
trical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the strap
as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough
to allow for normal breathing.
The transmitter strap delivers an
optimal heart rate reading when
the electrodes are in direct con-
tact with skin. However, it also
functions properly through a thin
layer of wet clothing.
If it becomes necessary to re-
moisten the chest strap elec-
trodes, grasp the center of the
strap, pull it away from the chest
to expose the two electrodes,
and moisten them.
