3. Measure your heart rate, if desired.
To measure your
heart rate, stop
pedaling and
place your thumb
on the heart rate
sensor 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 heart rate sensor
for another 15 seconds for the most accurate read-
ing. 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 heart rate sensor and allow
the display to reset. Then, place your thumb on the
heart rate sensor as described above.
Make sure that you are applying the proper amount
of pressure to the heart rate sensor. Try the heart
rate 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 heart rate
sensor is not a medical device. Various
factors may affect the accuracy of heart
rate readings. The heart rate sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in deter-
mining heart rate trends in general.
