The convenient pulse sensor allows you to measure
your heart rate periodically. You can measure your
heart rate before you begin exercising, during your
workout, and again when you finish.
Note: Before
you can use the
pulse sensor,
you must peel
the protective
vinyl covering
off the metal
contacts on the
front and rear
of each pulse
grip.
To use the pulse
sensor, first make sure that the power is turned on.
Stop exercising, rest both feet on the floor, and place
your hands on the metal contacts. Your palms must be
resting on the inner contacts and your fingers must be
touching the outer contacts.
Avoid moving your
hands
. When your pulse is detected, the pulse indica-
tor will flash each time your heart beats, a ÒPÓ and
three dashes (Ð Ð Ð) will appear in the display and your
heart rate will be shown. Continue to hold the contacts
for about 15 seconds for the most accurate heart rate
reading.
HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
¥ Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen-
sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart
rate readings. If the hand pulse sensor is not used
correctly, your heart rate will not be shown.
¥ Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
¥ Do not move your hands while you hold the metal
contacts; your muscle movement may interfere with
heart rate readings.
¥ For the most accurate heart rate reading, wait for
about 15 seconds.
¥ For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep
the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be
cleaned with a soft clothÑnever use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.
