Calories per Hour.
Heart Rate — Your current heart rate. Heart rate will appear when a signal
is introduced. Use the handgrips for Contact Heart Rate or wear a Polar
®
compatible heart rate chest strap.
Pace — At your current speed, how long it would take to cover a mile (or
kilometer), displayed in minutes:seconds.
Metabolic Equivalent — Relates to the user’s energy expenditure. A MET is
a basic unit of measurement that is used to compare relative work between
individuals and activities. ‘One MET’ is the amount of oxygen consumed at
rest. For example two METs would be twice that amount. If an individual were
working at four METs he/she would be consuming oxygen at a rate equal to
four times their resting consumption. METs can be used to compare walking
on a grade with running or even to cycling and other activities.

Displaying Heart Rate
In order for the Cybex 445T/455T to display your heart rate, hold the handgrips to use
Contact Heart Rate or wear a Polar
®
compatible heart rate chest strap.
Contact Heart Rate — Hold the handgrips on the console handrail until a heart rate is
displayed, typically less than thirty seconds. For best results, hold the handgrips lightly and
ensure that your hands contact both the front and back sensors of each grip. NOTE: Hold
your hands as steady as possible as movement can cause interference on the contacts.
Factors that can interfere with the heart rate signal include:
• excessive movement
• body composition
• hydration
• too loose grip
• too tight grip
• running
• excessive dirt, powder or oil
• leaning or resting on grips
