The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on the Life

TELEMETRY HEART RATE MONITORING CHEST STRAP
The Lifecycle Upright Bike is equipped with Polar telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in which
electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the bike console. These elec-
trodes are attached to a chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The chest strap is
optional. To order it, call Life Fitness Customer Support Services. See Section 6.5, titled How to
Obtain Product Service.
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 elec-
trical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. 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 skin.
However, it also 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.
