CALORIES/FAT
CALORIES displayÑ
This display shows the
approximate numbers
of
calories and fat calo-
ries you have burned.
(See FAT BURNING on page 15 for an explanation
of fat calories.) Every seven seconds, the display
will change from one number to the other. Arrows in
the display will indicate which number is currently
shown. Note: This display also shows your pulse
when the pulse sensor is used (see step 5 below).
Measure your pulse, if desired.
5
To use the pulse sen-
sor, stand on the foot
rails of the treadmill
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 Calories/Fat Calories display flashes
steadily. Hold your thumb at this level. After 5 to 10
seconds, your pulse will be shown. Hold your
thumb on the pulse sensor for another 15 seconds
for the most accurate reading.
If the displayed pulse appears to be too high or too
low, or if your pulse is not displayed, lift your thumb
off the pulse sensor and allow the display to reset.
Press down again on the sensor as described above.
Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown,
and that you are applying the proper amount of
pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the pulse sensor
several times until you become familiar with it.
Remember to stand still whilst measuring your
pulse.
CAUTION: The pulse sensor is not a medical
device. Various factors, including the user's
movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate
readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as
an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends
in general.
When you are finished exercising, stop the
6
walking belt and remove the key.
Step onto the foot rails, stop the walking belt, and
remove the key from the console. Store the key in a
secure place. After the key is removed, the dis-
plays will remain on for about five minutes.
Note: Any time that the walking belt is stopped
and no console buttons are pressed for five
minutes, the displays will automatically turn off
in order to conserve the batteries.
