Are heart rate monitors on treadmill handles accurate?

We purchased a 3.3T Horizon treadmill and it has a heart rate monitor on the handles. How long can you leave your hands on the handles to read a true accurate rate, or can you get a wrong read out by leaving your hands on too long?

You can leave your hands on as long as you like - this will monitor your heart rate throughout your workout. It will take a few seconds when you first put your hand on it to establish the rate. If, during your workout, the monitor goes off - dry drying off oyur hands and do it again. Also - find the %26quot;target%26quot; heart rate for your age and weight. There is a range for fat burning and higher range for cardio.
