The convenient pulse sensor allows you to
measure your heart rate periodically. You can measure
your heart rate before you begin exercising, during
your workout, and again when you finish.
To use the pulse
sensor, first
make sure that
the power is
turned on. Stop
exercising, rest
both feet on the
floor, and place
your hands on
the metal con-
tacts. Your
palms must be
resting on the
inner contacts and your fingers must be touching the
outer contacts. Avoid moving your hands. After a
moment, the heart indicator in the PULSE display will
flash and your heart rate will be shown. For the most
accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the con-
tacts for about 15 seconds.
HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
¥ Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen-
sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart
rate readings. If the pulse sensor is not used correct-
ly, the heart indicator will flash repeatedly in the
PULSE display but your heart rate will not be shown.
¥ If an ÒLÓ appears in the PULSE display, then the
pulse sensor received too little pulse information to
accurately calculate your pulse. Let go of the metal
contacts; then place your hands on the contacts
again. Your palms must be resting on the inner con-
tacts and your fingers must be touching the outer
contacts.
¥ If an ÒHÓ appears in the PULSE display, then the
pulse sensor received too much pulse information to
accurately calculate your pulse. Let go of the metal
contacts; then place your hands on the contacts
again. Your palms must be resting on the inner con-
tacts and your fingers must be touching the outer
contacts.
¥ Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
¥ Do not move your hands while you hold the metal
contacts; your muscle movement may interfere with
heart rate readings.
¥ For the most accurate heart rate reading, wait for
about 15 seconds.
¥ For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep
the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be
cleaned with a soft clothÑnever use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.
