HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE MONITOR

6

HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR

The heart rate monitor consists of two components:

the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing °
below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap
through one of the holes in the sensor unit. Press the

end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the chest
strap. The tab should be almost flush with the front of °

the sensor unit.

_Chest Strap

Tabs__¢_

Next, wrap the
heart rate moni-

tor around your

chest and
attach the other
end of the chest

strap to the sen-
sor unit. Adjust

u,_ i_,_,l of the

chest strap, if

necessary. The
heart rate moni-

tor should be under your clothing, tight against your

skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or
breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on

the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.

Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches_

and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side.
The electrode areas are the areas covered by shallow

ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or contact
lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the

sensor unit to a position against your chest.

HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each

use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off

when it is removed and the electrode areas are
dried. If the heart rate monitor is not dried after each

use, it may remain activated longer than necessary,

draining the battery prematurely.

Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.

Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose
it to temperatures above 122 ° Fahrenheit (50°
Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10 ° Celsius).

Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit

when using or storing the heart rate monitor.

Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth--never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest

strap may be hand washed and air dried.

HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

The instructions on the following pages explain

how the heart rate monitor is used with the console.
If the letters "PLS" appear in the PULSE/CALORIES

display or if the displayed heart rate is excessively
high or low, try the steps below.

Make sure that the heart rate monitor is under your
clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under

the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.

The logo on the sensor unit must be facing forward

and be right-side-up. Note: If the heart rate monitor
does not function when positioned as described, try
moving it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens

solution to wet the two electrode areas on the

sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-
self near the center of the walking belt. For the

console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within arm's length of the console.

The heart rate monitor 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 contrac-
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

The operation of the heart rate monitor 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.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with

PERFORMANT LUBE TM, a high-performance lubricant.
Important: Never apply silicone spray or other sub-
stances to the walking belt or the walking platform.

They will deteriorate the walking belt and cause ex-

cessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a

grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge
protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap-

propriate outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,

and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that

looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole recep-

tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out-

let is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re-

sult from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off.

To decrease the pos-

sibility of your tread-
mill being damaged,

always use a surge
protector (not in-
cluded) with your

treadmill.

Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware

stores and department

stores. Use only a UL-
listed surge protector,

rated at 15 amps, with a
14-gauge cord of five
feet or less in length.

This product must be

grounded. If it should

malfunction or break

down, grounding pro-

vides a path of least re-
sistance for electric cur-

rent to reduce the risk of

1

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place

by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-

trician to determine if the outlet box cover is

grounded before using an adapter.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The treadmill console offers an impressive array of
features designed to make your workouts more effective.

When the console is in the manual mode, the speed and

incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch of a
button. As you exercise, the console will display instant

exercise feedback--you can watch your progress on the
LED "track," while the four displays show your heart rate,

the number of calories burned, the incline, workout time,
speed, pace, distance, and laps completed.

Eight preset programs are also offered: three incline pro-
grams automatically control the incline of the treadmill as

programs automaticallycontrolthespeed ofthetreadmill;
and two pulsedrivenprograms automaticallycontrolthe

speed and the inclineofthetreadmilltokeep your heart
ratewithina predeterminedrangeduringyourworkouts.

The console also features two custom programs that
allow you to create your own workout programs and store

. them in the console's memory for future use.

To use the manual mode, follow the steps beginning on

page 10. To use an incline program or a speed pro-
gram, see page 12. To use a pulse driven program, see
page 13. To create a custom program, see page 14. To
use a custom program, see page 15.

Note: The console can display speed and distance in
either miles or kilometers (see SPEED/PACE DISPLAY

on page 11). For simplicity, all instructions in this section

refer to miles.
