Keys Fitness T240 - Manuel (Page 21)

The Bodyguard® Heart Rate receiver inside each T240 – T260 treadmill is specifically designed to work in conjunction with
the optional Heart Rate chest strap. The Heart Rate chest strap allows the computer to monitor your heart rate, or pulses
per minute. This value is shown on the computer screen and should only be used as a guide in helping you achieve your
personal fitness goals.
If no Heart Rate chest strap is used, no heart rate value (0) will be displayed on the computer screen. Before using any Heart
Rate chest strap on any exercise equipment, it is important to consult with a physician prior to commencing any exercise
program.
WARNING – Before attempting to use any of this equipment, you should read the instruction manual carefully. Use of
this equipment by persons with heart or other medical problems may result in serious injury. You should consult with a
physician prior to using this equipment. It is recommended to periodically consult your physician as you continue to use this
equipment. Immediately cease exercise if you feel dizzy, faint or short of breath. Use of this equipment in a manner other
than as prescribed by these instructions herewith may result in serious injury.
As a guide to effective exercising, to determine your recommended heart rate training zone, find your age on the heart rate
chart (refer to page 5) and read the heart rate target zone based on various intensity levels. These levels include fat
burning zone, cardiovascular zone and aerobic zone.
Tip – Sometimes you will need to moisten the back of the heart rate chest strap to obtain a signal. Use a few drops of water
to moisten the chest strap, then place directly over the skin. The chest strap does not work properly when placed over
clothing.
