BWrap the

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 muscles or breasts as is comfortable.

Make sure that the logo is facing forward and is

right-side-up.

two electrode 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 steps below.

Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is worn

exactly as described in step 2 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 in step 3 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.

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 the elliptical exerciser.

• 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.
