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 (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.

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.

• 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).

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PRE-LUBRICATED WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such substances will deterio-

ate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

This product must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break

down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug.
