Heart Rate Monitoring

The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on these products. For the most accurate reading possible, during a workout:

  • Grasp the sensors firmly.
  • Hold each sensors at the midpoint.
  • Keep hands steady and in place.
The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors. The following factors may affect a Lifepulse reading: incorrect hand placement on the sensors, upper body activity, lotion or dirt on hands, and excessive or insufficient pressure used when gripping the sensors.
Note: (Treadmills Only): Do not attempt to grasp the sensors at speeds above 4.5 mph or 7.2 kph. For these speeds, the use of a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is recommended.
