Window
PROPER ORIENTATION OFTHE PULSE SENSOR
The transmitter on the pulse sensor is angled down-
ward, as shown below. For the pulse sensor to func-
tion properly, the transmitter must be pointed within
30° ofthe center of the console (the shaded area in
the drawing). If you tum your head too far away from
the console, the signal from the pulse sensor will not
be received.
HOW TO ADJUST THE HEADBAND
For the pulse sensor tofunction properly, the head-
band mustfit snugly around your head, without being
uncomfortable. To adjustthe headband, insert the
aajustment
tab through
the appropri-
ate hole in
the head-
band. Note:_
Each time
you exer-
cise, the
headband
may expand
sllghtly dur-
ing the first
few minutes
of use. It may be necessary to readjust the head-
band periodically.
HOW TO PUT ON THE PULSE SENSOR

GUIDELINES FOR OBTAINING ACCURATE PULSE
READINGS
The instructions on page 11 explain how the pulse
sensor is used with the console (see HOW TO USE
THE PULSE DISPLAY). For the bast.results, remem-
ber the following important guidelines: °
1. Before putting on the headband, rub your forehead
for a moment to stimulate circulation.
2. Make sure that the headband fits snuglyaround
your head, without being uncomfortable. Ifthe
headband is too loose or too tight, your pulse may
not be detected.
3,
The headband must be wom with the sensor win-
dow centered on your forehead (see HOW TO PUT
ON THE PULSE SENSOR on page 7). The small
button next to the sensor window must be
depressed, Make sure that there is no hair in front of
the pulse sensor or between the sensor window and
your forehead. Make-up appliedto the forehead
may also interfere with pulse readings.
Note: If the pulse se.nsordoes not detect your pulse
when the sensor window is centered on your fore-
head, try positioningthe sensor window above your
right or left eyebrow. Depending on the shape of
yourforehead, your pulse may be detected more
easily from a slightly different position.
4. Avoid turningyour head more than 30° away from
the console, or the console may not pick up the
signal from the pblse sensor.
=
The sensor window should be cleaned weekly when
the treadmill is used regularly. Moisten a cotton
swab with water, and carefully wipe the sensor win-
dow.
6. Because your pulse constantly changes, the pulse
sensor will sample and average your pulse every
few seconds. When you firstput on the pulse sen-
sor, it may take up to ten seconds before an accu-
rate pulse is shown.
7. If the pulse sensor does not function properly, check
the batteries (see HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES
on page 7).
HOW TO CLEAN THE PULSE SENSOR AND
HEADBAND
To clean the pulse sensor, first remove the headband.
Wipe the pulse sensor dean with a damp cloth. Never
Immerse the pulse sensor in water. To clean the
headband, hand wash it in mild detergent, gently wring
it out, and allow it to air dry.
