Adapting the pulse sensor
This model detects and
displays your pulse rate
during exercise by the
pulse sensor from your
earlobe. Being a sensitive
electronic part, the pulse
sensor must be handled
with sufficient care.
1. Connecting the pulse
sensor
• Insert the pulse sensor plug into
the sensor jack on the back of con-
trol unit.
2. Handling of sensor cable
Attach the sensor clip on the
handlebar with the sensor cable in
between, and adjust the length of
the sensor cable.
When not in use, keep the earlobe
sensor attached on the clip.

3. Using pulse sensor
during exercise
Clip the pulse sensor at the center
of your right or left ear lobe.
Ear rings or other ornaments must
be removed before attaching the
sensor and during exercise.
When it is cold, massage your ear-
lobe before use to improve blood
circulation.
Try not to change the position of
the pulse sensor during the exer-
cise.
If the symbol frequently lights
up during use, remove once and
re-attach the pulse sensor.
Attach the cable clip to your
clothes to prevent excessive
swinging of the sensor cable.
Always clip the pulse sensor to the
sensor clip when it is not being
used. This sensor clip can also be
used to adjust the slack of the
cable.
When removing the pulse sensor
after exercise, be sure to remove
also the cable holder.
The pitch sound is cancelled if the
sensor plug gets out of the jack of
control panel. Pay attention to the
complete connection of the plug.
4. Checking the Pulse
Sensor
You can check the function of the
pulse sensor on the LCD screen
during the exercise.
Remove the pulse sensor from
your earlobe during exercise, then
close it.
The pulse sensor is normal if the
pulse rate drops to zero and the
symbol goes out.
If the pulse rate does not drop to
zero or if the symbol remains
ON, the cable may be discon-
nected. If the cable proves to be
disconnected, replace the pulse
sensor with a new one (sold sepa-
rately).
