7. Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and
the optional chest pulse sensor at the same
time, the console will not display your heart
rate accurately.
See page 20 for information
about the optional chest pulse sensor.
If there are
sheets of clear
plastic on the
metal contacts
on the handgrip
pulse sensor,
peel off the plas-
tic. To use the
handgrip pulse
sensor, first
make sure that
your hands are clean. Next,
stand on the foot
rails
and hold the handgrip pulse sensor; your
palms should be resting on the upper contacts, and
your fingertips should be touching the lower con-
tacts.
Avoid moving your hands
. When your pulse
is detected, two dashes (– –) will appear in the
Pulse display, and then your heart rate will be
shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading,
continue to hold the contacts for about 15 sec-
onds.
8. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and
adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest
setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting
when you fold the treadmill to the storage posi-
tion, or you may damage the treadmill.
Next, re-
move the key from the console and put it in a secure
place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, switch
the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position and
unplug the power cord.
IMPORTANT: If you do
not do this, the treadmill’s electrical compo-
nents may wear prematurely.
