Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap

Heart Rate Reading Is Initially Detected then Lost or Abnormally Elevated

Malfunction

Heart rate reading is initially detected and functioning normally but then is lost.

Probable Cause Corrective Action

Use of personal electronic devces, such as cell phones and portable MP3 players, causes external noise interference.

Equipement is in close proximity to other sources of noise such as audio/ video equipment, fans, two way radios, and high voltage/highcurrent power lines.

Remove the source of noise or reposition the exercise equipment.

Heart rate readings are abnormally elevated.

Television sets and/or antennas generate electromagnetic interference.

Cell phones generate electromagnetic interference.

Computers generate electromagnetic interference.

Cars generate electromagnetic interference.

High voltage power lines generate electromagnetic interference.

Move the treadmill a few inches away from the probable cause, or move the probable cause a few inches away from the treadmill, until the heart rate readings are accurate.

Motor driven exercise equipment generates electromagnetic interference.

Another heart rate transmitter within three feet (one meter) generates electromagnetic interference.
