This model detects and
displays your pulse rate
during exercise by the
pulse sensor from your
earlobe. Being a sensitive
electronic part, the pulse
sensor must be handled
with sufficient care.

Installing the pulse
sensor

• Insert the pulse sensor plug into

the pulse sensor jack on the back
of the control unit, and hang the
sensor cable on the cable hook.

• Attach the cable holder at the bot-

tom of the seat pipe.

• Insert the sensor cable through

the 3 cable hooks and cable
holder. Hold the cable in position
by attaching the sensor clip at the
bend of the handlebar.

• Allow enough slack in cable under

the seat pipe for seat adjustment.

Use of sensor clip

• Always clip the pulse sensor to the

sensor clip when it is not being
used. This sensor clip can also be
used to adjust the slack of the
cable.

Using pulse sensor
during exercise

• Clip the pulse sensor at the center

of your either ear lobe.

• Ear rings or other ornaments must

be removed before attaching the
sensor and during exercise.

• When it is cold, massage your ear-

lobe before use to improve blood
circulation.

• Try not to change the position of

the pulse sensor during the exer-
cise.

• If the

E

symbol frequently lights

up during use, remove once and
re-attach the pulse sensor.

• Attach the cable clip to your

clothes to prevent excessive swing-
ing of the sensor cable.

• Always keep the pulse sensor at-

tached on the sensor clip when it is
not in use. This sensor clip can also
be used to adjust the slack of the
cable.

• When removing the pulse sensor

after exercise, be sure to remove
also the cable holder.

Caution:

Treat the pulse sen-

sor with care. The cable can be
damaged if pulled strongly.

Checking the Pulse
Sensor

• You can check the function of the

pulse sensor on the LCD screen
during the exercise.

• Remove the pulse sensor from

your earlobe during exercise, then
close it.

• The pulse sensor is normal if the

pulse rate drops to zero and the

symbol goes out.

• If the pulse rate does not drop to

zero or if the

symbol remains,

the cable may be disconnected. If
the cable proves to be discon-
nected, replace the pulse sensor
with a new one (sold separately).
