5 Measure your heart rate, if desired.

To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and place your thumb on the pulse sensor as shown. The pulse sensor is pres- sure activated—fully

press it down. Do not press too hard, or the circulation in your thumb will be re- stricted, and your pulse will not be de-

tected. Next, raise your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in the CALS/FAT CALS/ PULSE display flashes steadily. Hold your thumb at this level. After a few seconds, three dashes will appear in the display and then your heart rate will be shown. Hold your thumb on the pulse sensor for another 15 seconds for the most accurate reading.

If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift your thumb off the pulse sensor and allow the dis- play to reset. Then, press down on the pulse sen- sor as described above. Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown, and that you are applying the proper amount of pressure. Remember to stand still while measuring your heart rate.

6 When you are finished exercising, stop the walking belt and remove the key.

Step onto the foot rails, slide the speed control to the RESET position, and adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest level. The incline must be at the lowest level when the treadmill is raised to the storage position. Remove the key from the console. The displays will turn off a few min- utes after the key is removed. Note: To conserve the batteries, the displays will automatically turn off any time that the walking belt is stopped and the ON/RESET button is not pressed for a few minutes.
