Next, hold the chest pulse sensor near the con- sole. While holding one thumb stationary, begin tapping the other thumb against the electrode area at a rate of about one tap per second. Check the heart rate reading on the console.
•If the chest pulse sensor does not function proper- ly after you have followed all of the above instruc- tions, the battery should be replaced in the follow- ing way:
Locate the battery cover on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover, turn the cover coun- terclockwise, and remove the cover.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE
•Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the chest pulse sensor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it may remain activated longer than nec- essary, draining the battery prematurely.
•Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place. Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag or other container that may trap moisture.
•Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 122° Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit
•Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.
•Clean the sensor unit using a damp
