Handling the pulse(earlobe) sensor

Precautions

Firmly clip the pulse sensor to the center of your right or left ear lobe. If you are wearing ear rings remove them.

When it is cold, massage your earlobe before use to improve blood circulation.

Try not to change the position of the pulse sensor during the exercise.

If the E symbol frequently lights up during use, remove then re-attach the pulse sensor.

Attach the cable clip to your clothes to prevent excessive swinging of the sen- sor cable.

CAUTION: Treat the pulse sen- sor with care. The cable can be damaged if pulled strongly.

Use of Sensor Clip

Always clip the pulse sensor to the sensor clip when it is not being used. This sensor clip can also be used to adjust the slack of the cable.

Checking the Pulse Sensor

You can check the function of the pulse sensor on the LCD screen during the exercise.

Remove the pulse sensor from your earlobe during exercise, then close it.

The pulse sensor is normal if the pulse rate drops to zero and the symbol goes out.

If the pulse rate does not drop to zero or if the symbol remains ON, the cable may be disconnected. If the cable proves to be disconnected, replace the pulse sensor with a new one (sold separately).
