HOW TO USE THE PULSE SENSOR
The unique headband-style pulse sensor is specially
designed for greater accuracy, comfort, and durability.
To get the best performance from the pulse sen-
sor, please read the following instructions.
HOW TO ADJUST THE HEADBAND
For the pulse sensor to function properly, the head-
band should fit snugly around your head, without being
uncomfortable.
To adjust the
headband, in-
sertthe ad-
justment tab
through one
ofthe holes
in the head-
band. Note:
Each time
ent
you exer-
cise, the headband may expand slightly during the
first few minutes of use. It may be necessary to
readjust the headband periodically.
HOW TO PUT ON THE PULSE SENSOR
Rub your forehead briefly to stimulate circulation. Put
on the headband as shown below, with the sensor win-
dow centered on your forehead. Make sure that there
isno hair between the sensor window and your fore-
head. Attach the clothes clip to your collar. The clothes
clip will reduce the movement of the pulse sensor wire,
helping to ensure accurate pulse readings.

IMPORTANT: To avoid static build-up that may
damage the console, wear the pulse sensor only
while you are on the treadmill.
GUIDELINES FOR ACCURATE PULSE READINGS
The instructions on page 12 explain how the pulse
sensor is used with the console (see PULSE
DISPLAY). For the best results, remember the follow-
ing important guidelines:
1. Before putting on the headband, rub your forehead
briefly to stimulate circulation.
2. Make sure that the headband fits snugly, without
being uncomfortable. If the headband is too loose or
too tight, your pulse may not be detected.
3. The headband must be wom with the sensor win-
dow centered on your forehead. Make sure that
there is no hair between the sensor window and
your forehead. Make-up applied to the forehead
: may interfere with pulse readings. Note: If the pulse
sensor does not detect your pulse when the sensor
window is centered on your forehead, try positioning
the sensor window above your right or left eyebrow.
Depending on the shape of your forehead, itmay be
easier to detect your pulsefrom a different position.
4. Make sure that the pulse sensor wire is fully
plugged intothe jack on the console.
S.
Because your pulse constantly changes, the pulse
sensor will sample your pulse every few seconds.
When you first put on the pulse sensor, it may take
up toten seconds for an accurate pulse to be shown.
8. Avoid excessive head movement during exercise.
7. The sensor window should be cleaned weekly when
the treadmill is used regularly. Moisten a cotton swab
with water, and carefully wipe the sensor window.
HOW TO SOLVE COMMON PULSE PROBLEMS
1. If you are wearing the pulse sensor and the NO
PULSE DETECTED indicator lights, refer to guide-
lines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 above.
2. If the pulse shown in the PULSE display seems ex-
cessively high or low, refer to guideline 5.
3. Iferror code "E5" appears in the PULSE display,
refer to guidelines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
4. If the letters "PLS" appear in the PULSE display,
refer to guidelines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
CLEANING THE PULSE SENSOR AND HEADBAND
Remove the headband from the pulse sensor. Wipe
the pulse sensor with a damp cloth; never immerse
the pulse sensor in water. Hand wash the headband
in mild detergent, gently wring it out, and let it air dry.
OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re-
suit from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off.
To decrease the pos-
sibility of your tread- 1
mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not in-
cluded) with your
treadmill.
Surge prote_:tors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a UL-
listed surge protector,
rated at 15 amps, with a
14-gauge cord of five
feet or less in length.
This product must be
grounded. If it should
malfunction or break
down, grounding pro-
vides a path of least re-
sistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge
protector, and plug the surge protector Into an ap-
propriate outlet that Is properly Installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
This product isfor use on a nominal 12g-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole recep-
tacle as shown in drawing 2 ifa propedy grounded out-
let is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
