HOW TO USE THE HAND PULSE SENSOR
The convenient hand pulse sensor allows you to measure your heart rate before you begin exercising, during your workout, and again when you finish.
To use the hand pulse sensor, the console must be turned on (see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 9). In addition, the walking belt must be moving or the TIME display must be flashing (see step 5 on page 10).
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and place your
hands on the metal contacts as shown. Your palms must be
resting on the upper contacts, and your fingers must be touching the lower
contactsÑavoid
moving your hands. After a moment, three dashes
(Ð Ð Ð) will appear in the PULSE display and your heart rate will be shown. Continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds for the most accurate heart rate reading.
HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
¥Stand on the foot rails and avoid moving your hands while measuring your heart rate. Excessive move- ment may interfere with heart rate readings. If the hand pulse sensor is not used correctly, three dashes (Ð Ð Ð) will appear repeatedly in the PULSE display but your heart rate will not be shown.
¥Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate readings.
¥Continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds for the most accurate heart rate reading.
¥For optimal performance of the hand pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft clothÑnever use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
