How to find a telemetry strap that works with my gym’s aerobic equipment?

I’m thinking of purchasing a telemetry strap to monitor my heart rate so I don’t need to hold on to the handles of the equipment at the gym. I’ve heard that some wireless monitors can communicate with gym equipment (besides the watch they come with) but how do I make sure to buy one that works with the equipment I usually use? And once I get one, how do I actually make it communicate? There’s no plug-in I can find on the gym equipment. And I didn’t really see an option on the touch-screen to find/setup/detect the wireless signal. Will it just find it? Any advice is much appreciated.

I think you should look at the user manual or call the equipment company tech support.
