Treadmill at my gym doesn't keep taking a pulse

Try wetting the front of your shirt (above the transmitter
belt) before you begin; sounds like you do moisten the belt
but this isn't enough as the static from the shirt rubbing
up and down can knock out the signal for a while; after a
predetermined amount of "no signal" the monitor may just
give up for the duration.

I have just started to walk on a treadmill at my gym. I
found it to be more comfortable than I thought. It's a
Star Trac machine.

I liked the idea that I could set it to my heart beat
and it would change it's pace for me. I set it for fat
burn and held my hands on the metal sensors and walked
for an hour.

But recently I get on the treadmill and the machine stops
reading my heart after about a minute. I can seem to
figure out why it's not working the way I remember. I go
around to all of the machnes and sure enough they all stop
reading my pulse after a minute.

Is there a setting on these machines to go from a chest
strap sensor to the hand sensors?

You are dead.

T-mills stop responding after a minute? That's not good. It
sounds as if the machines are losing interest in you, as
fast as people do.
