Pulse—This display will show your heart rate
when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the
optional chest pulse sensor (see step 5 below).
Resistance—This display will show the resistance
level of the pedals for a few seconds each time
the resistance level changes.
Profile—When a workout is selected, this display
will show a profile of the resistance settings for the
workout.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
You can measure you heart rate using either the
handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse
sensor (see page 21 for information about the
optional chest pulse sensor).
Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor and
wear the chest pulse sensor at the same time, the
console will not display your heart rate accurately.
If there are sheets
of clear plastic on
the metal contacts
on the handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove the plas-
tic. In addition,
make sure that
your hands are
clean. 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, your heart rate will
be shown in the display. For the most accurate
heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15
seconds.
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 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.
