How to Use the Hand Pulse Sensor

The convenient hand pulse sensor allows you to measure your heart rate before you begin exercising, during your workouts, and again when you finish.

To use the hand pulse sensor, the console must be turned on. In addition, the walking belt must be moving or the time must be flashing in the main display.

To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and place your hands on the metal contacts as shown. Your palms must be rest- ing on the upper contacts, and your fingers must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid

moving your hands. When your

pulse is detected, the PULSE indicator will flash each time your heart beats, three dashes (– – –) will appear

on the left side of the main display and your heart rate will be shown. Continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds for the most accurate heart rate reading.

HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

•Stand on the foot rails and avoid moving your hands while measuring your heart rate. Excessive move- ment may interfere with heart rate readings. If the hand pulse sensor is not used correctly, your heart rate will not be shown.

•Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate readings.

•Continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds for the most accurate heart rate reading.

•For optimal performance of the hand pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
