USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
Your elliptical could be equipped with either heart rate pulse grips or a thumb pulse sensor. To find out what your model has, refer to
the beginning of the ASSEMBLY section of your OWNER'S MANUAL.
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips or a thumb pulse sensor can provide a
relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people,
including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or
wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate
reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
Heart rate monitoring system is only available on Andes 2.0.
PULSE GRIPS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register.
It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip
tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if
consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.
CAUTION
Do not press excessively hard on the sensor as this may cause damage.
