When the QUICK START mode or the MANUAL pro-
gram is selected, the matrix will show the resistance
s
ettings that you select.
When a PULSE program is selected, the matrix will dis-
play a heartbeat graphic. Each time a heartbeat is de-
tected, an additional peak will appear in the display.
THE PULSE SENSOR
I
f there are thin sheets
of plastic on the metal
c
ontacts on the pulse
sensor, peel off the
plastic. To measure
your heart rate, hold the
contacts; your palms
must be resting on the
upper contacts, and
your fingers must be
touching the lower con-
tacts.
Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is
detected, the HEART RATE indicator above the main
display will begin to flash, and then your heart rate will
be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading,
hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds without mov-
ing your hands.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your
hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to
move your hands excessively or to squeeze the con-
tacts too tightly. For optimal performance, clean the
contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abra-
sives, or chemicals.
