The Lifepulse™ System
The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on this product. 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.
Treadmill shown for reference
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
- excessive or insufficient pressure when gripping the sensors
Note: Do not attempt to grasp the sensors on a treadmill 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.
