3. Measure your heart rate, if desired.
To measure your
heart rate, stop
pedaling and
place your thumb
on the pulse sen-
sor as shown. Do
not press too
hard, or the cir-
culation in your
thumb will be restricted, and your pulse will not
be detected. After a few seconds, the heart-shaped
indicator in the display will flash steadily, two dash-
es will appear, and then your heart rate will be
shown. Hold your thumb on the pulse sensor for
another 15 seconds for the most accurate reading.
If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or
too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift
your thumb off the pulse sensor and allow the dis-
play to reset. Then, place your thumb on the pulse
sensor as described above.
Make sure that you are applying the proper amount
of pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the pulse sensor
several times until you become familiar with it.
Remember to stand still while measuring your heart
rate.
4. To turn off the power, simply wait for a few minutes.
The console has an “auto-off” feature. If the
pedals are not moved and the On/Reset button
is not pressed for a few minutes, the power will
turn off automatically to conserve the batteries.
WARNING: The pulse sensor
is not a medical device. Various factors
may affect the accuracy of heart rate read-
ings. The pulse sensor is intended only as
an exercise aid in determining heart rate
trends in general.
