(BPM) will be displayed in the Information Window continuously.

4  Remove the heart rate strap if you wish to remove your heart rate from the display. 
NOTE: The performance of the transmitter may be affected by body types, body oils, metal in clothing, and outside 
electrical interference. Always be sure that the transmitter and skin are in good contact. Avoid operating other electrical 
equipment near your TreadClimber
