elliptical crosstrainer to a recumbent bike, giving you

two machines in one. Welcome to a whole new world

of natural, elliptical-motion exercise from PROFORM.

For your benefit, read this manual carefully before

you use the REBEL. If you have additional questions,

please call our toll-free HELPLINE at 1-800-736-6879,

the circulation in your thumb will be restricted,

and your pulse will not be detected. Next, slightly

raise your thumb until the heart-shaped indicator in

the LCD display flashes steadily. Hold your thumb

at this level. After 5 to 10 seconds, three dashes

will appear in the display

and your pulse will be

shown. Hold your thumb

on the sensor for another

15 seconds for the most

accurate reading. If the

displayed pulse appears

to be too high or too low,

or if your pulse is not dis-

played, lift your thumb off

the sensor and allow the

display to reset. Press

down again on the sensor as described above.

Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown,

and that you are applying the proper amount of

pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the sensor several

times until you become familiar with it.
