How to Use the Chest Pulse Sensor
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the sensor unit. Follow the steps
below to put on the chest pulse sensor.
Refer to the inset drawing above. Insert the tab
on one end of the chest strap through one end of
the sensor unit as shown. Make sure to press the
end of the sensor unit under the buckle on the
chest strap.
Wrap the
sensor unit
and the chest
strap around
your chest.
Attach the
free end of
the chest
strap to the
sensor unit as
described
above. Adjust
the length of
the chest strap, if necessary. The chest pulse
sensor should be under your clothing, against
your skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles
or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the
logo is facing forward and is right-side-up.

T
he convenient hand pulse sensor allows you to
measure your heart rate before you begin exercising,
during your workouts, and again when you finish.
To use the hand pulse sensor, the console must be
turned on. In addition, the walking belt must be moving
or the time must be flashing in the main display.
To measure your
heart rate, stand on
the foot rails and
place your hands on
the metal contacts
as shown. Your
palms must be rest-
ing on the upper
contacts, and your
fingers must be
touching the lower
contacts.
Avoid
moving your
hands. When your
pulse is detected, the PULSE indicator will flash each
time your heart beats, three dashes (– – –) will appear
o
n the left side of the main display and your heart rate
will be shown. Continue to hold the contacts for about
15 seconds for the most accurate heart rate reading.
HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
• Stand on the foot rails and avoid moving your hands
while measuring your heart rate. Excessive move-
ment may interfere with heart rate readings. If the
hand pulse sensor is not used correctly, your heart
rate will not be shown.
• Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so
may interfere with heart rate readings.
• Continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds
for the most accurate heart rate reading.
• For optimal performance of the hand pulse sensor,
keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be
cleaned with a soft cloth—never use alcohol,
abrasives, or chemicals.
