Introducing Users to the P20 Console

CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, see your physician for a thorough physical examination. Seek advice from your physician to learn the target heart rate appropriate for your fitness level.

The P20 console offers an easy-to-follow display and multiple programs to help people meet their exercise needs. The sensitive keypad lets them select data and control their workout session and SmartRate® provides a visual aid that monitors heart rate and workout intensity at a glance.

Important: Please review the following sections in this guide with your users before allowing them to use the fitness equipment:

Using the Touch Heart Rate Feature

Note: Touch heart rate performance may vary based on a user’s physiology, fitness level, age, and other factors. You may experience an erratic readout if your hands are dry, dirty, or oily, or if the skin on your palms is especially thick. Wearing hand lotion can also cause an erratic readout. In addition, make sure that the sensors are clean to ensure proper contact can be maintained.
