Pulse/% Max —When you
use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor or a Polar
®
-compatible
chest pulse sensor (not in-
cluded), this section of the
main display will show your
heart rate. When a HEART RATE program is selected,
the display will show your heart rate and the corre-
sponding percentage of your age-predicted maximum
heart rate (see step 7 on page 22 for an explanation of
your age-predicted maximum heart rate). The display
will change from one number to the other every few
seconds. Note: The display will only show the percent-
age of your age-predicted maximum heart rate if you
have entered your age.
Speed —The right end of
the main display will show
the speed of the walking
belt, in miles per hour or
kilometers per hour.
THE PULSE SENSOR
If there are sheets of
clear plastic on the
metal contacts on the
pulse sensor, peel off
the plastic. To mea-
sure your heart rate,
stand on the foot rails
and hold the contacts
with both hands; your
palms must be resting on the upper contacts, and your
fingers must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid
moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the
PULSE indicator above the main display will begin to
flash, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the
most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for
at least 15 seconds without moving your hands.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your
hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to
move your hands excessively or to squeeze the con-
tacts too tightly. For optimal performance, clean the
contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abra-
sives, or chemicals.
CAUTION:
Before operating the
console, read the following precautions.
• Do not stand on the walking belt when turn-
ing on the power.
• Always wear the clip (see the drawing on
page 17) while operating the INCLINE
TRAINER.
• Adjust the speed in small increments to
avoid sudden jumps in speed.
• The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is in-
tended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
• If you have heart problems, or if you are over
60 years of age and have been inactive, do
not use the HEART RATE or FITNESS TEST
programs. If you are taking medication regu-
larly, consult your physician to find whether
the medication will affect your exercise heart
rate.
• To reduce the possibility of electric shock,
keep the console dry. Avoid spilling liquids
on the console and place only a sealed water
bottle in the water bottle holder.
