HOW TO USE THE PULSE SENSOR
The convenient pulse sensor allows you to measure your heart rate at any time during your workouts. You can measure your heart rate before you begin exercis- ing, while you exercise, and again when you finish.
To use the pulse sensor, first make sure that the power is turned on. Next, stop exercising, rest both feet on the floor, and place your hands on the
metal contacts of the pulse sen-
sor. Your palms must be resting on the inner con- tacts and your fingers must be touching the outer contacts. Avoid moving your hands. After a moment, the heart indicator in the display will flash and your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate read- ing, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.
PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
¥Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen- sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate readings. If the pulse sensor is not used correct- ly, the heart indicator in the display will flash repeat- edly but your heart rate will not be shown.
¥If an ÒLÓ appears in the display, the pulse sensor is receiving too little pulse information to accurately calculate your pulse. If an ÒHÓ appears, the pulse sensor is receiving too much pulse information. Let go of the metal contacts, and then place your hands on the contacts again. Your palms must be resting on the inner contacts and your fingers must be touching the outer contacts.
¥Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate readings.
¥For the most accurate heart rate reading, wait for about 15 seconds.
¥For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft clothÑdo not use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
