HOW-TO USE THE PULSE SENSOR
The'LS ELITE 2000 treadmill features a state-of-the-
art cordless pulse sensor. The pulse sensor Is spe-
dally designed for greater accuracy, comfort and
durability. Please read the following Instructions
before using the pulse sensor.
HOW TO INSTALL BATI'ERIES
The pulse sen-
sor requires
two "AA" bat-
terles. Alkaline
batteries are
recornmend_=d.
Slide off the
battery cover.
Note the mark-
Battery_
,. _ _ Batteries
ings inside the
battery compartment showing which direction the bat-
teries must be tumed. Insert two battedes into the bat-
tery compadmenL Close the battery cover.
HOW TO ADJUST THE HEADBAND
For the pulse
sensor to func-
tion properly,
the headband
must fit snugly
around your
bead, without
being uncom-
fortable. Adjust
the headband by inserting the adjustment tab through
the appropriate hole in the headband.
HOW TO PUT ON THE PULSE SENSOR
Rub your fore- Sensor
head to stimu- Headband W_edow

Put on the
headband as
shown at the
dght, with the
sensor window
centered on
your forehead.

depressed. Mal_eSure that the_ i_ no halr In front of
the pulse sensor or between the ean_or window and
your forehead.
HOW TO OBTAIN ACCURATE PULSE READINGS
The instructionson page 10 explain how the pulse
sensor is used with the console (see HOW TO USE
THE PULSE DISPLAY). For the best results, remem-
ber the following important guidelines:
• Before putting on the headband, rub your forehead
to stimulate circulation.
• Make sure that the headband is properly adjusted;
if the headband is too tightor too loose, your pulse
may not be detected.
The headband must be wore properly, with the
sensor window centered on your forehead. The
small button next to the sensor window must be
depressed. Make sure that there is no hair in front
of the pulse sensor or between the sensor window
and your forehead. Make-up applied to the fore-
head may interfere with pulse readings.
Note: Ifthe pulse sensor does not function propedy
when the sensor window is centered on your fore-
head, try positioningthe sensor window above your
right or left eyebrow. Depending on the shape of
your forehead, itmay be easier to detect your
pulse from a slightly different position.
• Avoid tuming your head more than 30"away from
the console, or the console may not receive the
infrared signal from the poise sensor.
• Clean the sensor window weekly when the tread-
mill is used regularly. Moisten a cotton swab with
water, and carefully wipe the sensor window.
Because your pulse constantly changes, the pulse
sensor will sample and average your pulse every
few seconds. When you first put on the pulse sen-
sor, it may be necessary to wad for up to ten see-
onds before an accurate pulse is shown.
• If the pulse sensor does not function properly,
check the batteries (see HOW TO INSTALL BAT-
TERIES on this page).
HOW TO CLEAN THE PULSE SENSOR"
To dean the pulse sensor, flret rembve the headband.
Wipe the pu_e'sensorclean with_a .damp cloth; never
Immerse the pulse sensor in water.
To clean the headband, hand wash it In nu'lddeter-
gent and gently wring it out.

stances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form; such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG INTHE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded. If it shouldmalfunc-
tion or break down, grounding providesa path of least
resistancefor electric currentto reduce the riskof elec-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductorand a grounding
plug.Plug the power cord Into an appropdste outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
kDANGER: Improper connectionofthe
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified elec-
trician or sendceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the product Is propedy grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the product--If it

A temporaly adapter that looks like the adapter illus-
trated in drawing2 may be used to connect this plug
to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The tempo-
rary adapter should be used only untga properly
grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green-colored dgid ear, lug,
or the like extending from the adapter must be con-
nected to a permanent ground suchas a propedy
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 deter-
mine if the outlet box cover is grounded before
using an adapter.
HOW TO ADJUST THE CUSHION LEVEL

the cushion level should be. If the cushion level is too
soft,-the treadmill will bounce excessively.
