TROUBLESHOOTING
HEART RATE
Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as fluorescent
lights, computers, underground fencing, home security systems or appliances
containing large motors. These items may cause erratic heart rate readouts.
You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:
• Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain
moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.
• Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart
rate handlebars while exercising. If you are receiving erratic heart rate
readouts, try to only hold the grips long enough to monitor your heart rate.
• When you are breathing heavily during a workout.
• When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
• When your hands are dry or cold. Try to moisten your
palms by rubbing them together to warm.
• Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.
• Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.
• Anyone whose skin on the measuring palm is especially thick.
