Heart Rate Monitor
Monitoring your Heart Rate is one of the best ways to control the intensity of your
exercise. This feature is built into the Schwinn ® 460 fitness machine.
The Schwinn ®460 uses a Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter to send your Heart Rate
signals to the console. The console displays your Heart Rate in "beats per minute" in the
lower-middle window of the display.
The Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter is included.
How to Use Your Chest Strap
Using the Schwinn _ 460 heart rate transmitter
chest strap, you can monitor your heart
rate at anytime during your workout:
1. The heart rate
transmitter is attached
to a chest strap to
keep your hands free
during your workout.
Attach the transmitterto
the elastic chest strap.
2. Adjustthe strap length
to fit snugly and
comfortably against
your skin. Secure the
strap around your
chest, just below
the chest muscles,
and buckle it.
3. Liftthe transmitter
off your chest and
moisten the two
grooved electrode
areas on the back.
4. Check that the
wet electrode areas
are firmly against
your skin.
5. The transmitter
will send your heart rate to the Schwinn®460 fitness machine's receiver and your Beats Per Minute
(BPM) will be displayed in the HEART RATE display within a matter of several seconds.
.
Always remove the transmitter
before cleaning the chest strap. Clean the chest strap regularly with mild soap
and water and thoroughly dry it. Residual sweat and moisture keep the transmitter
active and drain the battery
in the transmitter.
Note: 13onot use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol for cleaning, as they can damage the
electrodes permanently.
Replacement chest straps are available by calling your Nautilus Representative.
If the Heart Rate Transmitter is not sending a signal to your console, the PULSE display will show 3 dashes. Check to
make certain thatthe
textured contact areas on the chest strap are contacting with your skin. You may need to lightly
wet the contact areas. If no signal appears or you need further information, please call a Nautilus Representative.
