To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and place both thumbs on the pulse sensors as

shown. Do not press too hard, or the circulation

in your thumbs will be restricted and your pulse will not be detected. Next, wait until the heart-shaped indicator in the Calories/Fat Calories/Heart Rate display flashes steadily. After a few seconds, your heart rate will be shown. Hold your thumbs on the sensor for another 15 seconds for the most accurate reading.

If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift your thumbs off the sensors and allow the display to reset.
