page 12) and the
speed of the walking belt. Every few seconds, the display will change from one number to the next. The left mode bar will appear when the number of calories is shown; the right mode bar will appear when the number of fat calories is shown. This display will also show your heart rate when the pulse sensor is used.
To reset the displays, press the On/Reset button.
5 Measure your pulse, if desired.
To use the pulse
sensor, stand on the foot rails and
place your thumb
on the pulse sen- sor as shown. The pulse sensor is
down the pulse sensor. Do not press too hard, or the circulation in your thumb will be restricted, and your pulse will not be detected. Next, slightly raise your thumb until the heart- shaped indicator in the Cals/Fat Cals/Speed/Pulse display flashes steadily. Hold your thumb at this level. After 5 to 10 seconds,
your pulse will be displayed. Hold your thumb on the sensor for another 15 seconds for the most accurate reading. If the displayed pulse appears to be too high or too low, or if your pulse is not displayed, lift your thumb off the sensor and allow the display to reset. Press down again on the sen- sor as described above. Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown, and that you are applying the proper amount of pressure. Try the sensor several times until you become familiar with it. Always stand still while measuring your pulse.
When you are finished exercising, stop the
6 walking belt and remove the key.
Step onto the foot rails, slide the speed control to the RESET position, and remove the key from the console. The displays will turn off a few minutes after the key is removed. Note: Any time that the walking belt is stopped for a few minutes, the displays will automatically turn off to conserve the batteries.
