7.Measure your heart rate if desired.
You can measure your heart rate using either the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 24 for information about the op- tional chest pulse sensor). Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the optional chest pulse sensor at the same time, the console will not display your heart rate accurately.

To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot rails and hold the metal contacts on the handrail— avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is de- tected, your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds.
8.When you are finished exercising, remove the key from the console.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting when you fold the treadmill to the storage posi- tion or you may damage the treadmill. Next, re- move the key from the console and put it in a secure place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position and unplug the power cord. Important: If you do not do this, the electrical components of the tread- mill may wear prematurely.
