HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

To get the best performance from the chest pulse sensor, please read the instructions below.

HOW TO PUT ON 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.

	Chest Strap
		Tab
Sensor Unit	Sensor	Buckle
	Unit

	See the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on
	one end of the chest strap through one end of the
	sensor unit as shown. Then, press the end of the
	sensor unit under the buckle on the chest strap.
	Wrap the
	chest pulse	Logo
	sensor
	around
	your chest.
	Attach the
	free end of
	the chest
	strap to the sensor unit as described above.
	Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary.
	The chest pulse sensor should be under your
	clothing, against your skin, and as high under the
	pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.
	Make sure that the logo is facing forward and is
	right-side-up.
	Pull the
	sensor unit	Electrode Areas
	away from
	your body
	a few inch-
	es and
	locate the
	two elec-

trode areas on the inner side. Using a 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 TROUBLESHOOTING

If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low, try the steps below.

•Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is worn exactly as described in step 2 at the left. If the chest pulse sensor does not function when positioned as described, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

•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 in step 3 at the left). If heart rate readings do not appear until you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

•Make sure that you are within armʼs length of 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 magnetic interference may be causing a problem, try relocating your exercise equipment.

•If the chest pulse sensor still does not function properly, test the chest pulse sensor in the following way:

Hold the chest pulse sensor and place your thumbs over the electrode areas as shown.

CR 2032

Battery

Next, hold the chest pulse sensor near the console. While holding one thumb stationary, begin tapping the other thumb against the electrode area at a rate of about one tap per second. Check the heart rate reading on the console.

•If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly after you have followed all of the above instructions, the battery should be replaced in the following way: 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 the cover.

Remove the old battery and insert a new CR 2032 battery. Make sure that the battery is turned so the writing is on top.

Replace the battery cover and turn it clockwise to close it.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE

•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.

•Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose the chest pulse sensor 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 chest pulse sensor.

•Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.
