5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are sheets of
plastic on the metal
contacts on the
handgrip heart rate
monitor, remove the
plastic. In addition,
make sure that your
hands are clean.
To
measure your heart
rate, hold the handgrip
heart rate monitor with
your palms resting
against the contacts.
Avoid moving your hands
or gripping the contacts tightly.
When your pulse is detected, a heart-shaped
symbol will flash in the display and then your heart
rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart
rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15
seconds.
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
contacts tightly. For optimal performance, clean
the contacts using a soft cloth;
never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts.

will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a
series of tones will sound, the console will pause,
and the time will flash in the display.
If the pedals do not move for several minutes, the
console will turn off and the display will be reset.
