Note: To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, both
touch-sensitive grips must be grasped firmly for five to ten
seconds. Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s
perspiration provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to
the receiver in the display console. However, because of body
chemistry or erratic heartbeats, some people cannot use the
touch-sensitive grips. A chest strap may provide better results.
