5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
To use the chest heart rate monitor, see page

low the instructions below. IMPORTANT: If you
use both heart rate monitors at the same time,
the console will not display your heart rate
accurately.
If there are sheets
of plastic on the
metal contacts
on the handgrip
heart rate monitor,
remove the plas-
tic. To measure
your heart rate,
hold the handgrip
heart rate monitor
with your palms
resting against the
contacts. Avoid
moving your hands or gripping the contacts
tightly.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will be
shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading,
hold the contacts for at least 15 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 contacts tightly. For optimal perfor-
mance, clean the contacts using a soft cloth; never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean
the contacts.
