PROPER ORIENTATION OF THE PULSE SENSOR

The transmitter on the pulse sensor is angled down- ward, as shown below. For the pulse sensor to func- tion properly, the transmitter must be pointed within 30° of the center of the console (the shaded area in the drawing). If you turn your head too far away from the console, the signal from the pulse sensor will not be received.
