5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are
sheets of plastic
on the metal
contacts on the
handgrip pulse
sensor, remove
the plastic. 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 con-
tacts tightly.
When your pulse is detected, dashes will appear
in the 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 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.

will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a
tone will sound, the console will pause, and the
time will flash in the display. To resume your work-
out, simply resume pedaling.
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.
