HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
OW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
H
he chest pulse sensor consists of two components:
T
the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing
below). 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. 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.
Chest Strap
Tabs
Tab
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.
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.
o
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sun-
ight for extended periods of time; do not expose it to
l
temperatures above 50° C (120° F) or below -10° C
(15° F).
• 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
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 centre of the walking belt. For the con-
sole to display heart rate readings, the user must
be within arm’s length of the console.
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 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.
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 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
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.
• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
page 29).

cm (2–3 in.) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep
the walking belt centred. Then, plug in the power cord,
insert the key, and walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.

SOLUTION:
a. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, see CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-
SHOOTING on page 9.
b. If the chest pulse sensor still does not function properly, the battery
should be changed. To replace the battery, first locate the battery
cover on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the
cover, and turn the cover counterclockwise to the “open” position.
Then, remove the cover.
Next, remove the old battery from the sensor unit, and insert a new

SOLUTION:
The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly
a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. Whilst the incline is changing, re-
move the key. After a few seconds, reinsert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the
maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-
xisting health problems.
e
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.
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.

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 and incline of the treadmill until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.
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.

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 “training zone.” The lower two numbers are recommended
heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the
recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.
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

Training Zone Exercise—After warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is in
your training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the
first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep
your heart rate 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 postexercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
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.
