. Measure your heart rate if desired.
N
ote: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and
the optional chest pulse sensor at the same
time, the console will not display your heart
rate accurately. For information on the optional
chest pulse sensor, see page 22.
Before using the
handgrip pulse
sensor, remove
the sheets of
clear plastic from
the metal con-
tacts on the pulse
bar. In addition,
make sure that
your hands are
clean.
To measure your heart rate, stand on the foot
rails and hold the pulse bar with your palms on the
metal contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When
your pulse is detected, a heart symbol will flash in
the display and then your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, con-
tinue to hold the contacts for about 15 sec-
onds.
7. When you are finished exercising, remove the
key from the console.
Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and
adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest
setting. The incline must be at the lowest set-
ting or you may damage the treadmill when you
fold it to the storage position. Next, remove the
key from the console and put it in a secure place.
When you are finished using the treadmill, switch
the reset/off circuit breaker to the “off” position and
unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do
not do this, the treadmillʼs electrical compo-
nents may wear prematurely.
