Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor
and wear the optional chest 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 con-
tacts 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 upper
contacts, and your fingers must be touching the
lower contacts. Avoid moving your hands.
Contacts
When your pulse is
detected, the Heart
Rate indicator
above the right dis-
play will begin to
flash, one or two
dashes (– –) will
appear in the right 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 pulse sensor, the
right display will show your heart rate for up to 30
seconds. The 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 metal contacts too tightly. For opti-
mal performance, clean the metal contacts using
a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or
chemicals.

utes, the console will turn off and the displays will
be reset.
