HOW to USE the Pulse Sensor

The unique headband-stylepulse sensor is specially

designed for greater accuracy, comfort, and durability.

To get the best performance from the pulse sen- sor, please read the following instructions.

HOW TO ADJUST THE HEADBAND

For the pulse sensor to function properly, the head-

band should fit snugly around your head, without being uncomfortable.

To adjust the

headband, in- sert the ad- justment tab

through one

of the holes

in the head-ent band. Note:

Each time you exer-

cise, the headband may expand slightly during the first few minutes of use. It may be necessary to readjust the headband periodically.

HOW TO PUT ON THE PULSE SENSOR

Rub your forehead briefly to stimulate circulation. Put on the headband as shown below, with the sensor win- dow centered on your forehead. Make sure that there is no hair between the sensor window and your fore- head. Attach the clothes clip to your collar. The clothes clip will reduce the movement of the pulse sensor wire, helping to ensure accurate pulse readings.

IMPORTANT: To avoid static build-up that may damage the console, wear the pulse sensor only while you are on the treadmill.

GUIDELINES FOR ACCURATE PULSE READINGS

The instructions on page 12 explain how the pulse sensor is used with the console (see PULSE

DISPLAY). For the best results, remember the follow- ing important guidelines:

1.Before putting on the headband, rub your forehead briefly to stimulate circulation.

2.Make sure that the headband fits snugly, without being uncomfortable. If the headband is too loose or too tight, your pulse may not be detected.

3.The headband must be wom with the sensor win- dow centered on your forehead. Make sure that there is no hair between the sensor window and your forehead. Make-up applied to the forehead

:may interfere with pulse readings. Note: If the pulse sensor does not detect your pulse when the sensor

window is centered on your forehead, try positioning the sensor window above your right or left eyebrow. Depending on the shape of your forehead, it may be easier to detect your pulse from a different position.

4.Make sure that the pulse sensor wire is fully plugged into the jack on the console.

S.Because your pulse constantly changes, the pulse sensor will sample your pulse every few seconds. When you first put on the pulse sensor, it may take up to ten seconds for an accurate pulse to be shown.

8.Avoid excessive head movement during exercise.

7.The sensor window should be cleaned weekly when the treadmill is used regularly. Moisten a cotton swab with water, and carefully wipe the sensor window.

HOW TO SOLVE COMMON PULSE PROBLEMS

1.If you are wearing the pulse sensor and the NO PULSE DETECTED indicator lights, refer to guide- lines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 above.

2.If the pulse shown in the PULSE display seems ex- cessively high or low, refer to guideline 5.

3.If error code "E5" appears in the PULSE display, refer to guidelines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

4.If the letters "PLS" appear in the PULSE display, refer to guidelines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

CLEANING THE PULSE SENSOR AND HEADBAND

Remove the headband from the pulse sensor. Wipe the pulse sensor with a damp cloth; never immerse the pulse sensor in water. Hand wash the headband

in mild detergent, gently wring it out, and let it air dry.
