Heart Rate is an Important Key to Your Exercise

The Surgeon General also released a report on physical activity and health. This report dictates that exercise and fitness are
beneficial for a person's health and reiterated the need for exercise as a key component for disease prevention and healthier living.
The best way to determine exercise intensity is to monitor your pulse during exercise. Heart rate can easily be determined by
counting the pulse rate at the chest, wrist or carotid artery on your neck. It is however, difficult to count your own pulse during
exercise, mainly because one cannot count fast enough to accurately track the rate. The Response R8c is equipped with two
systems for monitoring your heart rate.

Touch Heart Rate Sensors

While the unit is powered-on and a workout program is operating, gently grasp both touch heart rate sensors on the handlebar.
The computer will detect your pulse rate and register a two or three digit number in the PULSE window on the LCD display.
NOTE: If an inconsistent heart rate is displayed while using the hand pulse sensors:
• Ensure the palms of both hands are touching the contact areas of the touch heart rate sensors.
• Maintain even pressure on the grips.
• Do not clutch the touch heart rate sensors tightly.
• Try to keep your hands still while griping the touch heart rate sensors.

Wireless Heart Rate Receiver

A wireless telemetry heart rate receiving system is one feature found on the Response models. In order for the console to detect
and display your heart rate, three conditions must be present:
• A compatible heart rate chest strap transmitter (not included) must be functioning and worn. For proper function of the chest
strap, please refer to the manufacturer's instructions. This unit requires an uncoded heart rate transmitting chest strap. Visit
your Diamondback Fitness dealer to select a compatible transmitter.
• The Response R8c must be powered on.
• A workout program must be running.
• The transmitter must be within three (3) feet from the console.
