6 Measure your heart rate, if desired.
Note: If the metal contacts on the top and bottom of the pulse sensor are covered with clear vinyl strips, peel off the vinyl strips before using the pulse sensor.
To measure your heart rate, place your
hands on the metal contacts
on the pulse sensor. Your palms must be
resting on the upper contacts and your fin-
gers must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid moving your hands.
When your pulse is
detected, the heart- shaped indicator in the pulse display will flash each time your heart
beats. A moment later, your heart rate will be
shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described above. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts too tightly.
WARNING: The pulse sen- sor is not a medical device. Various fac- tors, including the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate read- ings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
When you are finished exercising, turn off the
7 power.
To turn off the power, simply wait for five minutes. If the pedals are not turned and the console buttons are not pressed for five minutes, the power will turn off automatically.
