Wearing The Chest Strap

1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.

2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to re-

main comfortable.

3. Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your torso facing

away from your chest (some people must position the

transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the nal end of the elastic strap by

inserting the round end and, using the locking parts, secure the transmitter and

strap around your chest.

4. Position the transmitter directly below the pectoral muscles.

5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals.

However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on the reverse side of

the belt and both sides of the transmitter). It’s also recommended that you wear the

transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because of body chemistry, have a more

difcult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After “warming up”, this problem lessens. As

noted, wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn’t affect performance.

6. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a strong steady

signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the

console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter directly on bare skin

assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, wet the

areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.

Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart. Additionally, it

automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant,

moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the

transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement

battery is Panasonic CR2032.

Caution! Do not use this treadmill for Heart Rate programs unless a steady, solid Actual Heart

Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed

indicate a problem.

Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate:

1. Microwave ovens, TV’s, small appliances, etc.

2. Fluorescent lights.

3. Some household security systems.

4. Perimeter fence for a pet.

5. Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have problems try

wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so the Spirit Fitness logo is

right side up.

6. The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source,

turning the whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.

7. Another Individual wearing a transmitter within 3’ of your machine’s console.

If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.

Erratic Operation

Note: You must wear the heart rate transmitter strap for these programs

Both programs operate the same, the only difference is that HR1 is set to 60% and HR2 is set

to 80% of the maximum heart rate. They both are programmed the same way.

To start a HR program follow the instructions below or just select the HR1 or HR2

program, then the Enter button and follow the directions in the Message Center.

After selecting your heart rate target, the program will attempt to keep you at or within 3 - 5

heart beats per minute of this value. Follow the prompts in the Message Center to maintain your

selected heart rate value.

1. Press the HR 1 (60% of max heart rate default) or HR 2 (80% of max heart rate de-

fault) key, then press the Enter key.

2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You may enter

your age, using the Speed + / - keys, then press the Enter key

to accept the new value and proceed on to the next screen.

3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust the

weight value using the Speed + / - keys, then press Enter to

continue.

4. Next is Time. You may adjust the time using the Speed + / - keys and press

Enter to continue.

5. Now you are asked to adjust the Heart Rate Target. This is the heart rate level you will

strive to maintain during the program. Adjust the level using the Speed + / - keys, then

press Enter.

Note: The heart rate that appears is based on the % you accepted in Step 1. If you change this

number it will either increase or decrease the % from Step 1.

6. Now you are nished editing the settings and can begin your workout by pressing the

Start key. You can also go back and modify your settings by pressing the Stop key.

7. If you want to increase or decrease the workload at any time during the program press

the Speed + / - key on the console or right handlebar. This will allow you to change your

target heart rate at any time during the program.

8. During the HR 1 or HR 2 programs you will be able to scroll through the data in the

Message Center by pressing the Enter key.

9. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again, Stop

to exit the program or you can save the program you just completed as a custom user

program by pressing a User key and following the instructions in the Message Center.
