CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the chest pulse sensor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, draining the battery prematurely.

• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place. Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag or other container that may trap moisture.

one end of the chest strap through the hole in one end of the sensor unit. Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the front of the sensor unit.

Wrap the

chest strap around your chest and attach the other end of the chest strap to the sensor unit. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary. The chest pulse sensor should be under your clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.

• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself near the center of the walking belt. For the console

to display heart rate readings, the user must be within arms length of the console.

• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate reading problems may be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be affected by magnetic interference caused by high power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that magnetic interference may be causing a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

• The CR 2032 battery may need to be replaced.

Locate the battery cover on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover, turn the cover counterclockwise, and remove it. Remove the old battery and insert a new CR 2032 battery, making sure that the battery is turned so the writing is on top. Make sure that the rubber gasket is in place in the sensor unit.
