5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
To use the chest heart rate monitor, see page
18. To use the handgrip heart rate monitor, fol-
low the instructions below. IMPORTANT: If you
use both heart rate monitors at the same time,
the console will not display your heart rate
accurately.
If there are sheets
of plastic on the
metal contacts
on the handgrip
heart rate
monitor, remove
the plastic. To
measure your
heart rate, hold
the handgrip
heart rate monitor
with your palms
resting against the
contacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping
the contacts tightly.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate
will be shown. For the most accurate heart
rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15
seconds.
Contacts
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 contacts tightly. For optimal
performance, clean the contacts using a soft cloth;
never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to
clean the contacts.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
The fan has several speed settings, including an
auto mode. While the auto mode is selected, the
speed of the fan will automatically increase or
decrease as you increase or decrease your pedal-
ing speed. Press the fan increase and decrease
buttons repeatedly to select a fan speed or to turn
off the fan.
Note: If the pedals are not moved for a while when
the main menu is selected, the fan will turn off
automatically.

power cord.
When you are finished exercising, press the power
switch to the off position and unplug the power
cord. IMPORTANT: If you do not do this, the
