3. Measure your heart rate, if desired.
To measure your
heart rate, stop
pedaling and
place your thumb
on the pulse sen-
sor as shown. Do
not press too
hard, or the cir-
culation in your
thumb will be
restricted and
your pulse will
not be detected.
After a few sec-
onds, the heart-
shaped indicator
in the display will
flash steadily,
two dashes will
appear, and then
your heart rate
will be shown. Hold your thumb on the pulse sensor
for about 15 seconds for the most accurate reading.
If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or
too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift
your thumb off the pulse sensor for a few seconds.
Then, place your thumb on the pulse sensor as
described above.
