HOW TO USE THE HAND PULSE SENSOR

The convenient hand pulse sensor allows you to
measure your heart rate before you begin exercising,
during your workout, and again when you finish.
To use the hand pulse sensor, the console must be
turned on (see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 9). In addition, the walking belt must be moving
or the TIME display must be flashing (see step 5 on
page 10).
To measure your
heart rate, stand
on the foot rails
and place your
hands on the
metal contacts as
shown. Your
palms must be
resting on the
upper contacts,
and your fingers
must be touching
the lower
contactsÑavoid
moving your hands. After a moment, three dashes
(Ð Ð Ð) will appear in the PULSE display and your heart
rate will be shown. Continue to hold the contacts for
about 15 seconds for the most accurate heart rate
reading.
Metal Contacts
HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
¥ Stand on the foot rails and avoid moving your hands
while measuring your heart rate. Excessive move-
ment may interfere with heart rate readings. If the
hand pulse sensor is not used correctly, three dashes
(Ð Ð Ð) will appear repeatedly in the PULSE display
but your heart rate will not be shown.
¥ Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
¥ Continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds
for the most accurate heart rate reading.
¥ For optimal performance of the hand pulse sensor,
keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be
cleaned with a soft clothÑnever use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.
