Remote Heart Module (TC5000 Only)
The Remote Heart Module and Heart Rate Transmitter are features on the
TC5000 only. You may use the TC5000 Heart Rate Transmitter or any other
Heart Rate Transmitter that is compatible with the TreadClimber ® TC5000 to
help keep yourself within your target fat-burning heart rate zone during your
workout.
NOTE: A Heart Rate Strap with a non-replaceable battery is included.
It will work with Polar ® watches. To promote contact it should
be wet with perspiration, gel or saliva. To promote maximum
life, it must be rinsed with clean water and dried after each use.
A one year life is expected, replacement part T41 is available
from Polar ® or Nautilus, Inc.
How to Use Your Chest Strap : Using the Bowflex ® TreadClimber ® heart rate transmitter chest
strap, you can monitor your heart rate at any time during your workout:
5. The transmitter will send your heart rate to the TreadClimber ® machine’s receiver and your Beats Per
Minute (BPM) will be displayed in the HEART RATE display within a matter of several seconds.
6. Always remove the transmitter before cleaning the chest strap. Clean the chest strap regularly with
mild soap and water and thoroughly dry it. Residual sweat and moisture keep the transmitter active
and drain the battery in the transmitter.
NOTE: Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol for cleaning, as they can
damage the electrodes permanently.
Replacement chest straps are available by calling your TreadClimber ® Representative at 1-800-
NAUTILUS (1-800-628-8458).
If the Heart Rate Transmitter is not sending a signal to your console, check to make certain that the metal
electrodes on the chest strap are connecting with your skin. You may need to lightly wet the circles so
they adhere.
If no signal appears or you need further information, please call a TreadClimber
® Representative
at 1-800-NAUTILUS (1-800-628-8458).
