How to Use the Hand Pulse Sensor
he convenient hand pulse sensor allows you to
T
measure your heart rate before you begin exercising,
during your workouts, and again when you finish.
To use the hand pulse sensor, the console must be
turned on. In addition, the walking belt must be moving
or the time must be flashing in the main display.
To measure your
heart rate, stand on
the foot rails and
place your hands on
the metal contacts
as shown. Your
palms must be resting on the upper
contacts, and your
fingers must be
touching the lower
contacts.

o
will be shown. Continue to hold the contacts for about
15 seconds for the most accurate heart rate reading.
HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
• Stand on the foot rails and avoid moving your hands
while measuring your heart rate. Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate readings. If the
hand pulse sensor is not used correctly, your heart
rate will not be shown.
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
• Continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds
for the most accurate heart rate reading.
• For optimal performance of the hand pulse sensor,
keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be
cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.
How to Use the Chest Pulse Sensor
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the sensor unit. Follow the steps
below to put on the chest pulse sensor.

the sensor unit. Insert
a coin into the slot in
the cover, turn the
cover counterclockwise, and remove the
cover.
Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is under your

clothing, against your skin, and as high under the
pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. Note:
If the chest pulse sensor does not function when
positioned as described, try moving it slightly lower
or higher on your chest.
• Make sure that the logo on the sensor unit is facing
forward and is right-side-up.
• Each time you use the chest pulse sensor, use saline
solution such as saliva or contact lens solution to wet
the two electrode areas on the sensor unit (see the
drawing at the top of this page). If pulse readings do
not appear until you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Pulse read
ing 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.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE
• Dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The
chest pulse sensor is activated when the electrode
areas are wetted and it 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.

DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
representative if you are in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet 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
result from weather conditions or from other
appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the
possibility of your
treadmill being
damaged, always use
a surge protector (not
included) with your
treadmill.
Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a ULlisted 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
provides a path of least
resistance for electric
current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
