HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

OW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

he chest pulse sensor consists of two components—

T the chest strap and the sensor unit.

Chest Strap

Tabs

Tab

Sensor Unit

Sensor

Unit

Buckle

Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.

• Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag

r other container that may trap moisture.

• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct

unlight for extended periods of time; do not expose

s it 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.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into the hole in one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset drawing above. The tab should be flush with the front of the 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 right-side-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.

The instructions on the following pages explain how the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, try the steps 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, rewet the electrode areas.

• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself near the center of the walking belt. For the

console to display heart rate readings, the user must be within arm’s 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.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate monitor 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.

• 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 treadmill.

• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see page 31).

CAUTION: If you have heart prob-

lems, or if you are over 60 years of age and have been inactive, do not use the heart rate programs. If you are taking medication regu-

arly, consult your physician to find whether the

l medication will affect your exercise heart rate.

Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.

Note: You must wear the chest pulse sensor to use a heart rate program. While using the chest pulse sensor, do not use the handgrip pulse sensor.

To select a heart rate program, press the Program Select button repeatedly until one of the two heart rate program indicators lights.

The two profiles on the right side of the console show how the target heart rate will change during the programs. During heart rate program 1, your heart rate will reach approximately 85% of your

estimated maximum heart rate;

program 2, your heart rate will reach approximately 90% of your

rate.

Note: Your maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your estimated maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute (220 – 30 =

190).

Enter your age and a maximum speed setting.

When a heart rate program is selected, the word “AGE” and the current age setting will flash in the Calories display. If you have already entered your age, simply press the Start button (the program will not start when the button is pressed). If you have not entered your age, press the increase and decrease buttons below the Calories display to enter your age, and then press the Start button (the program will not start when the button is pressed).

After you have entered your age, the letters “SPd” and the maximum speed setting of the program will flash in the Speed display. If desired, press the increase and decrease buttons below the Speed display to adjust the maximum speed setting.

Press the Start button to start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the treadmill will automatically adjust to the first speed and incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails and begin walking.

Each heart rate program is divided into 30 oneminute segments. One target heart rate is programmed for each segment.

During each segment, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the current target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the speed of the treadmill will

automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate. If the

peed reaches the maximum speed setting of the

s program (see step 4 on page 19) and your heart

ate is still too far below the current target heart

r rate, the incline of the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.

During the last three seconds of each segment, a series of tones will sound and the Speed display and the Incline display will flash.

The program will continue until no time remains. The walking belt will then slow to a stop.

If your pulse is not detected during the program, the letters “PLS” will flash in the Pulse/Pace dis-

lay, and the speed and incline of the treadmill

p may automatically decrease until your pulse is de-

ected. If this occurs, see CHEST PULSE SEN-

t SOR TROUBLESHOOTING on page 9.

To stop the program temporarily, press the Stop button. The Time display will begin to flash. To restart the program, press the Start button or the Speed increase button. After a moment, the walking belt will begin to move at 1 mph. When the the console compares your heart rate to the current target heart rate, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may then automatically change.

If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low at any time during the program, you can adjust the setting with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, each time the console compares your heart rate to the current target heart rate, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill may automatically change to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.

Follow your progress with the displays.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individu-

ls over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-

a existing health problems.

The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user's movement, 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.

The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For more detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician.

is to burn fat, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone.

or maximum fat burning, adjust the speed or incline

F of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the speed or incline of the treadmill 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, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above your age. The three numbers define your “train ing zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended heart rates for fat burning; the highest number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the following three parts:

A Warm-up—Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise—never hold your breath.

A Cool-down—Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-ex-

ercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body begin to use stored

carbohydrate calories

fat calories

for energy. If your goal

for en-

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

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

he correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Hamstrings, lower back and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
