Chest Pulse Sensor Care

Next, hold the chest pulse sensor near the console. While holding one thumb stationary, begin tapping the other thumb against the electrode area at a rate of about one tap per second. Check the heart rate reading on the console.

•If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly after you have followed all of the above instructions, replace the battery in the following way:

• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each

use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the

electrode areas are wetted and the chest pulse sen-

sor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when

it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If

the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it

may remain activated longer than necessary, drain-

ing the battery prematurely.

Locate the battery cover on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover, turn the cover counterclock- wise, and remove the cover.

Remove the old bat- tery and insert a new CR 2032 battery.

Make sure that the battery is turned so the writing is on top. Reattach the battery cover and turn it clockwise to close it.

CR 2032 Battery

	chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 122°
	Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit
	(-10° Celsius).
•	Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
	when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.
