Contact Heart Rate
Chapter One: Basic Operation
Contact Heart Rate
The contact heart rate (CHR)
system lets you monitor your
heart rate without wearing a
strap.
Gently grasp the contact
heart rate pads as shown in
picture.
For some users, the ESXt may
take up to 45 seconds or more
to pick up their heart rate. This is not a health or performance
issue; it’s due to variations in electrical heart rate signals
between different users.
For Best CHR Results:
1. Exercise with smooth body motions.
2. Breathe smoothly and regularly, and avoid talking. (Talking
will cause unrepresentative heart rate spikes of 5 to 10 bpm.) 3.
Grip the pads lightly, not tightly.
4. Make sure your hands are clean, free of both dirt and hand
lotions.
When using a heart rate control workout, True strongly
recommends using chest strap monitoring. These workouts
work best with the extra accuracy gained from a chest-contact
heart rate monitoring system.
