Troubleshooting Heart Rate
Table 1 may help you understand and troubleshoot erratic heart rate
readings.
Important: A heart rate can only be detected when the Precor heart
rate receiver is properly installed in the display and the user
maintains a minimum of 20 RPM. A user must also wear the chest
strap on the C842i or grasp both touch-sensitive handlebar grips
on the C846i.
Table 1. Erratic heart rate readings
Note: To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, both
touch-sensitive
handlebar grips (C846i) must be grasped firmly for
five to ten seconds. 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 touch-sensitive
heart rate feature. A chest strap may provide better results.
