To use the chest pulse sensor, see page 9. To
use the handgrip pulse sensor, follow the instruc-
tions below. Note: If you wear the chest pulse
sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at
the same time, the console may not display
your heart rate accurately.
If there are
thin sheets
of plastic on
the metal
contacts on
the handgrip
pulse sensor,
peel off the
plastic. To
measure your
heart rate,
hold the con-
tacts; your palms must be resting on the contacts
closest to you, and your fingers must be touching
the contacts on the opposite side of the handle-
bar. Avoid moving your hands.
Contacts
When your pulse is
detected, the Heart
Rate indicator above
the right side of the
main display will light,
two dashes (– –)
will appear in the
main display, and then your heart rate will be
shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading,
hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.
Note: If you continue to hold the contacts, the
main display will show your heart rate for up to
30 seconds. The main display will then show
your heart rate along with the other modes.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that
your hands are positioned as described. Be care-
ful not to move your hands excessively or to
squeeze the contacts too tightly. For optimal per-
formance, clean the contacts using a soft cloth;
never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
Turn on the fan if desired.

To turn on the fan, press the Fan button. Pivot

To turn off the fan, press the Fan button a third

When you are finished exercising, the

console will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved for several seconds,
a tone will sound, the console will pause, and the
time will begin to flash in the main display.
If the pedals are not moved for about one minute,
the console will turn off; however, the main dis-
play will not be reset. If the pedals are not moved
for about five minutes, the main display will be
reset.
