heart rate (pulse) sensOrs
The Heart Rate or ‘Pulse’ in the console’s DISPLAY WINDOW works in conjunction with
the heart rate sensors found on the handlebars. To read your pulse place both hands
firmly on the heart rate sensors. For the most accurate reading, it is important to use
both hands and to temporarily stop moving. Look at the PULSE section of the DISPLAY
WINDOW, when the reading is active, the small heart will begin to blink. The PULSE
section of the DISPLAY WINDOW will display ‘P’ if there isn’t a pulse reading or there is
poor contact with the pulse sensors. Your estimated heart rate will appear in the win-
dow approximately 6 seconds after you grasp the heart rate sensors. For additional
information about the importance of working within certain heart rate ranges, see
the section ‘Monitoring Your Heart Rate’.
The heart rate information is only a reasonably accurate estimate and is not exact. Indi-
viduals with medical conditions and/or a specific need for accurate heart rate monitor-
ing should not rely on the estimations provided. Bear in mind that any of the console’s
calculated values are only for reference and should only be used as a reference when
using the equipment.
