Precor Commercial Adaptive Motion Trainer C100i - Manual (Page 7)

User’s Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 5
• After you put on the chest strap, face the display console for a
minimum of 15 seconds. This allows the receiver in the console to
recognize the signal from the chest strap.
• If three dashes (— — —) appear on the display, the AMT is detecting
a signal, but has not yet determined your heart rate. Make sure the
chest strap is positioned properly around your chest and against
your skin.
• If you prefer to use the touch-sensitive handlebar grips, grasp both
and wait five to ten seconds. Make sure both hands are moist (not
dry).
• When a signal is detected, a number flashes in the HEART RATE
display and indicates your heart rate.
Using the Heart Rate
Touch-Sensitive Handlebar Grips
While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive handlebar grips
for a minimum of five to ten seconds to transmit your heart rate to the
display. Refer to Diagram 2.
Diagram 2: Touch-sensitive handlebar grips
Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration provides
enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver inside the
display console. However, some people, because of body chemistry
or erratic heart beats, cannot use the touch-sensitive handlebar grips
on the AMT. A chest strap may provide better results.
Important: While exercising, do not wear a chest strap and grasp the
touch-sensitive handlebar grips at the same time. Using both features
may cause erratic heart rate readings.
