5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal con- tacts on the hand- grip pulse sensor, remove the plas- tic. To measure
your heart rate,
hold the handgrip Contacts pulse sensor with
your palms resting
against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping the contacts too tightly.
When your pulse is detected, one, two, or three dashes will appear in the display, and then your heart rate will appear. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 sec-
onds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate for up to 30 seconds.
If the display does not show your heart rate, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts too tightly. For opti- mal performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts.
6.When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a tone will sound and the console will pause. If the pedals do not move for several minutes and the buttons are not pressed, the console will turn off and the display will be reset.
