MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE
FEEDBACK
Your Horizon Fitness elliptical trainer offers two heart rate feedback options. You may choose to use the heart rate handlebars, or the
chest transmitter (sold separately) for a hands free workout.
HEART RATE HANDLEBAR
Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. When
gripping the handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Try to maintain moderate
pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars. It is recommended that you hold the handlebars only long enough the see your
heart rate readout on the console. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the handlebars.
TELEMETRIC CHEST TRANSMITTER (SOLD SEPARATELY)
Prior to wearing the chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below
the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your stermum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight and properly
placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic
or inconsistent heart rate readout.
If you have any problems with the heart rate function please refer to pages 10, 11 and 24 in the elliptical guide.
WARNING!
The heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate
reading is intended only as an exercise aid.
