6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you use the handgrip heart rate moni-
tor and the optional chest heart rate monitor at
the same time, the console will not display your
heart rate accurately. For information about the
chest heart rate monitor, see page 20.
Before using
the handgrip
heart rate moni-
tor, remove the
sheets of plastic
from the metal
contacts on the
pulse bar. In
addition, make
sure that your
hands are clean.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
rails and hold the pulse bar with your palms on
the metal contacts for approximately ten seconds;
avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is
detected, a heart symbol in the calorie display
will flash each time your heart beats, one or two
dashes will appear, and then your heart rate will be
shown. For the most accurate heart rate read-
ing, continue to hold the contacts for about 15
seconds.

key from the console and put it in a secure place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, press
the power switch into the off position and unplug
the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do not do
this, the treadmill's electrical components may
wear prematurely.
