HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

HOW TO PUT ON 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. Press the end of the sensor unit

under the buckle on the chest strap.

Wrap the

chest pulse

sensor

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 mus-

cles or breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that

the logo is right-side-up and facing forward.

Pull the

sensor unit

away from

your body

a few inch-

es and

locate the

two elec-

trode areas on the inner side. Using a saline

solution such as saliva or contact lens solution,

wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit

to a position against your chest.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

If the chest pulse sensor does not function proper-

ly, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high

or low, try the troubleshooting steps below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-

sor as described at the left. If the chest pulse sensor

does not function when positioned as described,

move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

• Each time you use the chest pulse sensor, use

saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solu-

tion to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor

unit (see the drawing below). If heart rate readings

do not appear until you begin perspiring, re-wet the

electrode areas.

• Make sure that you are within arm’s length of the

console. For the console to display heart rate

readings, the user must be within arm’s length of

the console.

• If you wear the chest pulse sensor and hold the

handgrip pulse sensor at the same time, the console

may not display your heart rate accurately.

• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with

people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate

reading problems may be caused by medical condi-

tions such as premature ventricular contractions

(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be

affected by magnetic interference caused by high

power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that

magnetic interference may be causing a problem,

try relocating your exercise equipment.

• If the chest pulse sensor still does not function prop-

erly, test the chest pulse sensor in the following way:

Hold the chest

pulse sensor

and place your

thumbs over

the electrode

areas as

shown. Next,

hold the chest

pulse sensor near the console. While holding one

thumb stationary, begin tapping the other thumb

against the electrode area at a rate of about one tap

per second. Check the heart rate reading on the

console.

•If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly

after you have followed all of the above instructions,

the battery should be replaced in the following way:

Locate the battery

cover on the back of

the sensor unit. Insert

a coin into the slot in

the cover, turn the

cover counterclock-

wise, and remove the

cover.

Remove the old bat-

tery and insert a

new CR 2032 bat-

tery. Make sure that

the battery is

turned so the writ-

ing is on top.

Replace the battery

cover and turn it

clockwise to close it.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE

• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each

use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the

electrode areas are wetted and the chest pulse sen-

sor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when

it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If

the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it

may remain activated longer than necessary, drain-

ing the battery prematurely.

• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.

Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag

or other container that may trap moisture.

• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct

sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose

the chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 122°

Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit

(-10° Celsius).

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit

when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never

use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest

strap may be hand washed and air dried.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

This product must be earthed. If it should malfunc-

tion or break down, earthing provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of

electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earth-

ing plug.

Two power cords

are included.

Select the one

that will fit your

outlet. Refer to

drawing 1, and

plug the indicat-

ed end of the

power cord into

the socket at the

back of the ellip-

tical crosstrainer.

Refer to drawing

2. Plug the power

cord into an

appropriate outlet

that is properly

installed and

earthed in accor-

dance with all

local codes and

ordinances. Note: In Italy, an adapter (not includ-

ed) must be used between the power cord and the

outlet. Important: The elliptical crosstrainer is not

compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with

a manufacturer-recommended power cord.

THE ON/OFF SWITCH

Locate the on/off switch

at the back of the ellipti-

cal crosstrainer. The

switch must be in the on

position when the ellipti-

cal crosstrainer is used. If

necessary, move the

switch to the on position.

HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALS

The motion of the

pedals is deter-

mined by their

positions on the

spring arms. There

are five different

pedal positions. To

adjust the pedals,

first loosen the

knob beneath each

pedal. Slide the

pedals forward or

backward to the

desired position,

and then retighten

the knobs. Make

sure that both ped-

als are in the same

position.

DANGER:Improper connection of

the equipment-earthing conductor can result

in an increased risk of electric shock. Check

with a qualified electrician or serviceman if

you are in doubt as to whether the product is

properly earthed. Do not modify the plug pro-

vided with the product—if it will not fit the out-

let, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.
