T240 – T240P – T240C TREADMILLS OWNER’S MANUAL

4. HEART RATE MONITORING

The BODYGUARD

Fitness Heart Rate Control System inside every T240–T240P–T240C treadmill has been specifically designed

for use with the heart rate chest strap. The chest strap enables the computer to monitor your heart rate or beats per minute (BPM).

This value is displayed on the computer screen and should only be used as a guide in helping you achieve your personal fitness

goals.

If the chest strap is not used, no heart rate reading will be displayed on-screen. It is important to consult a physician before starting

an exercise program or using a heart rate chest strap.

CAUTION – We recommend that you read this instruction manual carefully before you begin using this machine. Use of this

equipment by persons with heart or other medical problems may result in serious injury. It is recommended that you consult a

physician before using this machine. Consult your physician before using this equipment and periodically as you continue to use it.

Cease exercising immediately if you feel dizzy, faint, or short of breath. Use of this equipment in a manner other than that

prescribed in this instruction manual may result on serious injury.

In order to help you choose an effective exercise program and determine your recommended heart rate zone, see the table “Heart

Rate Zone” at the beginning of this manual to identify the heart rate zone based on different levels of intensity according to your

age. These levels include Fat Burning, Healthy Heart and Aerobic.

TIP– You should moisten the back of the heart rate chest strap from time to time to make sure it transmits a signal. Use a few

drops of water to moisten the strap and place it directly on your skin. The strap will not work properly if worn over your clothes.
