GUIDELINES FOR ACCURATE PULSE READINGS
The instructionson page 12 explain how the pulse
sensor is used with the console (see PULSE
DISPLAY). For thebest results, remember the follow-
ing important guidelines:
1. Before putting on the headband, rub your forehead
briefly to stimulate circulation.
2. Make sure that the headband fits snugly, without
being uncomfortable. If the headband is too loose or
too tight, your pulse may notbe detected.
3. The headband must be wom withthe sensor win-
dow centered on yourforehead. Make sure that
there is no hair between the sensor window and
yourforehead. Make-up applied to the forehead
:may interfere with pulse readings. Note: If the pulse
sensor does notdetect your pulsewhen the sensor
window is centered onyour forehead, try positioning
the sensor windowabove your rightor lefteyebrow.
Depending on the shapeof your forehead, it may be
easier to detect your pulse from adifferent position.
4. Make sure that the pulse sensor wire is fully
plugged intothe jack on the console.
S. Because your pulse constantly changes, the pulse
sensorwill sample your pulse every few seconds.
When you first put on the pulse sensor, it may take
up toten seconds for an accurate pulse to be shown.
8. Avoid excessive head movement during exercise.
7. The sensor window should be cleaned weekly when
the treadmillis used regularly. Moisten acotton swab
withwater, and carefully wipethe sensor window.
