HOW to USE the Hand Pulse Sensor, Battery

Metal Contacts

•As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself near the center of the walking belt. For the console to display heart rate readings, the user must be within arm’s length of the console.

•The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

•The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be affected by magnetic interference caused by high power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that magnetic interference may be causing a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

•The CR 2032 battery may need to be replaced.

HOW TO USE THE HAND PULSE SENSOR

The convenient hand pulse sensor allows you to measure your heart rate without wearing the chest pulse sensor. You can measure your heart rate before you begin exercising, during your workout, and again when you finish.

To use the hand pulse sensor, the console must be turned on (see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 11.) In addition, the walking belt must be moving or the TIME/PACE display must be flashing (see step 5 on page 12).

Next, stand on the foot rails and place your hands

on the metal con- tacts. Your palms

must be resting on the upper contacts, and your fingers must be touching the lower contacts— avoid moving your hands while

measuring your heart rate. After a moment, three dashes (– – –) will appear in the CALS./FAT CALS./ PULSE display and your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.

HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

•Make sure to stand on the foot rails and avoid moving your hands while measuring your heart rate. Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate readings. If the hand pulse sensor is not used correctly, three dashes (– – –) will appear repeatedly in the CALS./FAT CALS./PULSE display but your heart rate will not be shown.

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

•For the most accurate heart rate reading, wait for about 15 seconds.

•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.
