Handling the pulse(earlobe) sensor
This model detects and displays
your pulse rate during exercise
by the pulse sensor from your
earlobe. Being a sensitive
electronic part, the pulse sensor
must be handled with sufficient
care.
1
Installing the pulse
sensor
• Insert the pulse sensor plug into the
pulse sensor jack on the back of the
control unit, and hang the sensor
cable on the cable hook.
• Attach the cable holder at the
bottom of the seat pipe.
• Insert the sensor cable through the
3 cable hooks and cable holder.
Hold the cable in position by
attaching the sensor clip at the
bend of the handlebar.
• Allow enough slack in cable under
the seat pipe for seat adjustment.

Checking the Pulse
Sensor
• You can check the function of the
pulse sensor on the LCD screen
during the exercise.
• Remove the pulse sensor from your
earlobe during exercise, then close
it.
• The pulse sensor is normal if the
pulse rate drops to zero and the
symbol goes out.
• If the pulse rate does not drop to
zero or if the
symbol remains,
the cable may be disconnected. If
t h e c a b l e p r o v e s t o b e
disconnected, replace the pulse
s e n s o r w i t h a n e w o n e ( s o l d
separately).

Using pulse sensor
during exercise
• Clip the pulse sensor at the center of
your right or left ear lobe.
• Ear rings or other ornaments must
be removed before attaching the
sensor and during exercise.
• When it is cold, massage your ear-
lobe before use to improve blood
circulation.
• Try not to change the position of the
pulse sensor during the exercise.
• If the
E
symbol frequently lights
up during use, remove once and re-
attach the pulse sensor.
• Attach the cable clip to your clothes
to prevent excessive swinging of the
sensor cable.
• Always clip the pulse sensor to the
sensor clip when it is not being used.
This sensor clip can also be used to
adjust the slack of the cable.
• When removing the pulse sensor af-
ter exercise, be sure to remove also
the cable holder.
Caution:
Treat the pulse sensor
with care. The cable can be
damaged if pulled strongly.
