Pulse Sensor

3. Measure your heart rate, if desired.

To measure your heart rate, stop pedaling and place your thumb on the pulse sen- sor as shown. Do

not press too hard, or the cir- culation in your

thumb will be restricted, and your pulse will not be detected. After a few seconds, the heart-shaped indicator in the display will flash steadily, two dash- es will appear, and then your heart rate will be shown. Hold your thumb on the pulse 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 thumb off the pulse sensor and allow the dis- play to reset. Then, place your thumb on the pulse sensor as described above.

Make sure that you are applying the proper amount of pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the pulse sensor several times until you become familiar with it.

Remember to stand still while measuring your heart rate.

WARNING: The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate read- ings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

4.To turn off the power, simply wait for a few minutes.

The console has an “auto-off” feature. If the pedals are not moved and the On/Reset button is not pressed for a few minutes, the power will turn off automatically to conserve the batteries.
