3.2 HEART R

ATE MONITORING

THE POLAR

HEART RATE CHEST STRAP

The Life Fitness Treadmill is equipped with Polar

telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which electrodes, pressed

against the the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the treadmill console. These electrodes are attached to a chest strap

that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap is standard with the treadmill.

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 electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiv-

er. 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 contact with bare skin.

However, it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.

If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the

chest to expose the two electrodes, and moisten them.
