The state-of-the-art chest pulse sensor allows you
to continuously monitor your heart rate while you
exercise. Follow the instructions below 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.
Refer to the inset drawing above. Insert one of the tabs
on the chest strap through one end of the sensor unit.
Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle on
the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the front
of the sensor unit.
Wrap the chest
strap 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 clothing, 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.
Next, 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 the areas 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.
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 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
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 TROUBLE-SHOOTING
The instructions beginning on page 10 explain how
the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If
the letters “PLS” appear in the CALS./ FAT CALS./
PULSE display or if the displayed heart rate is
excessively high or low, try the steps below.
• Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is under your
clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under
the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.
The logo on the sensor unit must be facing forward
and be right-side-up. Note: If the chest pulse sensor
does not function when positioned as described, try
moving 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, re-wet 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.
• 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 the treadmill.
• The CR 2032 battery may need to be replaced.
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
it. Remove the old battery and insert a new CR
2032 battery, making
sure that the battery is
turned so the writing is
on top. Make sure that
the rubber gasket is in
place in the sensor unit.
Replace the battery
cover and turn it clockwise to close it.
The convenient hand pulse sensor allows you to
measure your heart rate without wearing the chest
pulse sensor. You can measure your heart rate before
you begin exercising, during your workout, and again
when you finish.
To use the hand pulse sensor, the console must be
turned on (see HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on
page 11.) In addition, the walking belt must be moving
or the TIME/PACE display must be flashing (see step
5 on page 12).
Next, stand on
the foot rails and
place your hands
on the metal contacts. Your palms
must be resting
on the upper
contacts, and
your fingers must
be touching the
lower contacts—
avoid moving
your hands while
measuring your heart rate. After a moment, three
dashes (– – –) will appear in the CALS./FAT CALS./
PULSE display and your heart rate will be shown. For
the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold
the contacts for about 15 seconds.
HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
• Make sure to stand on the foot rails and avoid moving
your hands while measuring your heart rate.
Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate
readings. If the hand pulse sensor is not used
correctly, three dashes (– – –) will appear repeatedly
in the CALS./FAT CALS./PULSE display but your
heart rate will not be shown.
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading, wait for
about 15 seconds.
• For optimal performance of the hand pulse sensor,
keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be
cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBETMWALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
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
result from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off. To decrease the possibility of
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge
suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at
the right).
Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores
and department stores. Use only a single-outlet surge
suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage
surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must
have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or
less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps.
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current 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 suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet 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 electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
DANGER: Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
