Pro-Form 690 HR User Manual page 16

The console has three backlight options. The "On"
option keeps the backlight on while the console is
on. To conserve the batteries, the "Auto" option
keeps the backlight on only while you are pedal-
ing. The "Off" option turns the backlight off.
To select a backlight option, first press and hold
down the Smart Programs button for several sec-
onds. Next, press the increase button to select the
desired backlight option. Then, press the Smart
Programs button to save your selection.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are sheets
of plastic on the
metal contacts on
the handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove the plas-
tic. To measure
your heart rate,
hold the handgrip pulse sensor with your palms
resting against the metal contacts. Avoid moving
your hands or gripping the contacts tightly.

Contacts
When your pulse is detected, one, two, or three
dashes will appear, and then your heart rate will
be shown. For the most accurate heart rate read-
ing, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds.
Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse
sensor, the display will show your heart rate for up
to 30 seconds.
If the display does not show your heart rate, make
sure that your hands are positioned as described.
Be careful not to move your hands excessively or
to squeeze the metal contacts tightly. For optimal
performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft
cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi-
cals to clean the contacts.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a
tone will sound and the console will pause.
If the pedals do not move for several minutes and
the buttons are not pressed, the console will turn
off and the display will be reset.
