HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

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

HOW T

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.

O PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

Chest Strap

Ta b

Sensor Unit

See the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on

sensor unit as shown. Then, press the end of the
sensor unit under the buckle on the chest strap.

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 solu
tion 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 arm’s length of the
console. For the console to display heart rate

readings, the user must be within arm’s length of
the console.

Wrap the

chest pulse
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.

Electrode Areas

• 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.

Electrode

Areas

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 bat-

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 sen
sor 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.
