HOW TO USE THE PULSE SENSOR

The unique headband-style pulse sensor is specially

designed for greeter accuracy,comfort, and durability.

To get the best performance from the pulse sen- sor, please read the following Instructions.

HOW TO ADJUST THE HEADBAND

uncomfortable.

To adjustthe headband, in-

sert the ad- justment tab

through one of the holes

in the head- band. Note:

Each time

you exer-

cise, the headband may expand slightly during the first few minutes of use. It may be necessary to

readjust the headband periodlcatly.

HOW TO PUT ON THE PULSE SENSOR

Rub your forehead bdefly tostimulate circulation. Put

on the headband as shown below, with the sensorwin- dow centered on your forehead. Make sure that there

is no hair between the sensorwindow end your fore- head. Attach the clothes clip toyour collar. The clothes clip will reduce the movement of the pulse sensor wire, helping to ensure accurate pulse readings.

DISPLAY). For the best results, remember the follow- ing important guidelines:

1. Before putting on the headband, tub your forehead

briefly to stimulate circulation.

2. Make sure that the headband fits snugly,without being uncomfortable. If the headband istoo loose or

tight, your pulse may not be detected.

3. The headband must be worn with the sensorwin-

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 rightor left eyebrow. Depending on the shape of your forehead, it may be

easier to detect your pulse from a different position.

4. Make sure that the pulse sensor wire is fully plugged into the jack on the console.

5. Because your pulse constantly changes, the pulse

sensor will sample your pulse every few seconds.

When you first put on the pulse sensor, itmay take

up to ten seconds for an accurate pulseto be shown.

6. Avoid excessive head movement duringexercise.

7. The sensor window shouldbe cleaned weekly when

the treadmill is used regularly. Moisten e cotton swab with water, end carefully wipe the sensor window.
