ProForm 780 Ekg Bike User Manual page 12

The console has three backlight options. The "On"
option keeps the backlight on while the console is
on. The "Auto" option keeps the backlight on only
while you are pedaling. The "Off" option turns the
backlight off. To select a backlight option, first
press and hold down the Personal Trainer
Programs button for several seconds. Next, press
the increase button to select the desired backlight
option. Then, press the Personal Trainer Programs
button to save your selection.
Note: The console can display speed and dis-
tance in either miles or kilometers. The letters
MPH or KM/H will appear in the display to indicate
the selected unit of measurement. To change the
unit of measurement, first press and hold down the
Personal Trainer Programs button for several sec-
onds. The word ENGLISH or METRIC will appear in
the display. Next, press the decrease button to
select the desired unit of measurement. Then,
press the Personal Trainer Programs button to
save your selection.
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 19 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 dis-
play your heart rate accurately.
If there are sheets
of clear plastic on
the metal contacts
on the handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove the plas-
tic. 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 too tightly.
When your pulse is detected, one, two, or three
dashes will appear in the display, and then your
heart rate will appear. For the most accurate heart
rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 sec-
onds. 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 too tightly. For opti-
mal performance, clean the metal contacts using a
soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or
chemicals to clean the contacts.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
The fan has two speed settings. Press the Fan
button repeatedly to select a speed setting or to
turn off the fan.
7. 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.
