Pulse Sensor
Pulse Indicator

1 Insert the key fully into the power switch.

Note: Inserting the key will not turn on the dis- plays. The displays will turn on when the

ON/RESET button is pressed or when the walking belt is started. If

you just installed batteries, the displays will already be on.

2 Reset the console and start the walking belt.

Slide the speed control down to the RESET position. Note: Each time the walking belt is stopped, the speed control must be moved to the RESET position before the walking belt can be restarted.

Next, slowly slide the speed control until the walking belt be-

gins to move at slow speed. Carefully step onto the walking belt and begin exercising. Change the speed of the walking belt as desired by moving the speed control.

To stop the walking belt, step onto the foot rails and slide the speed control to the RESET position.

3 Follow your progress with the four displays.

BURNING on page 14.) Every seven seconds, the display will change from one number to the other, as indicated by the mode arrows. This display also shows your pulse when the pulse sensor is used (see step 4).

The displays can be reset, if desired, by pressing the ON/RESET button.

4 Measure your pulse, if desired.

To measure your pulse, stand on the foot rails and place your thumb on the pulse sensor as shown. The pulse sensor is pressure ac- tivated—fully press it

down. Do not press too hard, or the cir- culation in your thumb will be re- stricted, and your pulse will not be de-

tected. Next, raise your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in the pulse display flashes steadily. Hold your thumb at this level. After a few seconds, three dashes will appear in the display and your pulse will be shown. Hold your thumb on the sensor for another 15 seconds for the most ac- curate reading.
