HOW TO USE THE PULSE SENSOR
The convenient pulse sensor allows you to
measure your heart rate periodically. You can measure your heart rate before you begin exercising, during your workout, and again when you finish.
To use the pulse sensor, first make sure that the power is turned on. Stop exercising, rest both feet on the floor, and place your hands on the metal con- tacts. Your palms must be resting on the
inner contacts and your fingers must be touching the outer contacts. Avoid moving your hands. After a moment, the heart indicator in the PULSE display will flash and your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the con- tacts for about 15 seconds.
HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
¥Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen- sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate readings. If the pulse sensor is not used correct- ly, the heart indicator will flash repeatedly in the PULSE display but your heart rate will not be shown.
¥If an ÒLÓ appears in the PULSE display, then the pulse sensor received too little pulse information to accurately calculate your pulse. Let go of the metal contacts; then place your hands on the contacts again. Your palms must be resting on the inner con- tacts and your fingers must be touching the outer contacts.
¥If an ÒHÓ appears in the PULSE display, then the pulse sensor received too much pulse information to accurately calculate your pulse. Let go of the metal contacts; then place your hands on the contacts again. Your palms must be resting on the inner con- tacts and your fingers must be touching the outer contacts.
¥Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate readings.
¥Do not move your hands while you hold the metal contacts; your muscle movement may interfere with heart rate readings.
¥For the most accurate heart rate reading, wait for about 15 seconds.
¥For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft clothÑnever use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
