HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

OW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

H

The chest pulse sensor has two components: a chest
strap and a sensor unit (see the drawing below). Insert

he tab on one end of the chest strap into one end of

t
the sensor unit, as shown in the inset drawing. 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.

he chest pulse sensor shuts off when it is removed

t
and the electrode areas are dried. If the chest pulse
sensor is not dried after each use, the battery may
be drained 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.

• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sun­light for extended periods of time or to temperatures
above 122° F (50° C) or below 14° F (-10° C).

Chest Strap

Tab

Sensor Unit

Next, wrap the chest
pulse sensor 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 clothes, 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 right­side-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 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.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE

• Dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The
chest pulse sensor is activated when you wet the
electrode areas and put on the chest pulse sensor;

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. Hand wash
and air dry the chest pulse sensor.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

If the chest pulse sensor does not function prop­erly, try the suggestions below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen­sor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse
sensor does not function when positioned as
described, move 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.

• Position yourself near the console. For the console

to display heart rate readings, the user must be
within armʼs 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
this is a problem, try relocating the elliptical.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

This product must be earthed. If it should malfunc-

tion or break down, earthing provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of

lectric shock. This product is equipped with a power

e
cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an
earthing plug. IMPORTANT: If the power cord is

damaged, it must be replaced with a manufacturer­recommended power cord.

DANGER: Improper connection

of the equipment-earthing conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service­man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly earthed. 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.

1. Plug the indicated end of the appropriate power

cord into the receptacle on the elliptical.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: B

or any exercise program, consult your physi­cian. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin­ing heart rate trends in general.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.

efore beginning this

urning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-

B

cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after

he first few minutes of exercise does your body begin

t
to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to
burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten­sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near­est ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching

and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min­utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise–never hold your breath.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your
muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer­cise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to
make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your
everyday life.
