5. Measure your heart rate if desired. If there are
sheets of clearContacts plastic on the
metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the plas- tic. In addition, make sure that your hands are clean. To measure
your heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor with your palms resting against the metal contacts.
Avoid moving your hands or gripping the con- tacts tightly.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will be shown in the display. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Be care- ful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts tightly. For optimal performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi- cals to clean the contacts.
