IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-

tions before using the elliptical exerciser.

1. Read all instructions in this manual and all warnings on the elliptical exerciser before using the elliptical exerciser.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the elliptical exerciser are adequately informed of all precautions.

3. Use the elliptical exerciser only as described in this manual.

4. The elliptical exerciser is intended for home use only. Do not use the elliptical exerciser in a commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

5. Keep the elliptical exerciser indoors, away from moisture and dust. Place the elliptical exerciser on a level surface, with a mat beneath it to protect the floor or carpet. Make sure that there is enough clearance around the elliptical exerciser to mount, dismount, and use it.

6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

7. Keep children under 12 and pets away from the elliptical exerciser at all times.

8. The elliptical exerciser should not be used by persons weighing more than 115 kg (250 lbs.).

9. Wear appropriate exercise clothes and athletic shoes while using the elliptical exerciser.

10. When unfolding the elliptical exerciser (see page 12), hold the handle firmly with both hands, pull and hold the latch lever, lower the frame slowly to the floor, and then release the latch lever. If the frame is lowered quickly, or if the latch lever is released early, the elliptical exerciser may tip over, resulting in damage or serious injury.

11. Hold the handlebars or the handgrip pulse sensor when mounting, dismounting, or using the elliptical exerciser.

12. The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

13. Keep your back straight while using the elliptical exerciser; do not arch your back.

14. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising, stop immediately and cool down.

15. When you stop exercising, allow the pedals to slowly come to a stop.

16. The decals shown on page 4 are found on the elliptical exerciser. If one of the decals is missing or illegible, call the toll-free telephone number on the front cover of this manual and order a free replacement decal. Apply the decal in the location shown.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This

is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

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 instructions below to put on the chest pulse sensor.

See the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap through the hole in one end of the sensor unit. Then, press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the chest strap.

Wrap the chest pulse sensor around your chest, and 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 right-side-up and facing forward.

Next, pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches and locate the two electrode 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 troubleshooting steps below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described 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 below). 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.

• If you wear the chest pulse sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at the same time, the console will not display your heart rate accurately.

• 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. 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.
