HOW TO USE THE PULSE SENSOR
The unique headband-style pulse sensor is specially
designed for greater accuracy, comfort, and durability.
To get the best performance from the pulse sen­
sor, please read the following Instructions.
HOWTO ADJUST THE HEADBAND
For the pulse sensor to function properly, the head­
band should fit snugly around your head, without being
uncomfortable.
To adjust the
headband, in­
sert the ad­
justment tab
through one
of the holes
in the head­
band. Note:
Each time
you exer­
cise, the headband may expand slightly during the
first few minutes of use. It may be necessary to
readjust the headband periodically.
HOW TO PUT ON THE PULSE SENSOR
Rub your forehead briefly to stimulate circulation. Put
on the headband as shown below, with the sensor win­
dow centered on your forehead. Make sure that there
is no hair between the sensor window and your fore­
head. Attach the clothes clip to your collar. The clothes
clip wilt reduce the movement of the pulse sensor wire,
helping to ensure accurate pulse readings.
IMPORTANT: To avoid static build-up that may
damage the console, wear the pulse sensor only
while you are on the treadmill.
GUIDELINES FOR ACCURATE PULSE READINGS
The instructions on page 12 explain how the pulse
sensor is used with the console (see PULSE
DISPLAY), For the best results, remember the follow­
ing important guidelines:
1. Before putting on the headband, rub your forehead
briefiy to stimulate circulation.
2. Make sure that the headband fits snugly, without
being uncomfortable. If the headband is too loose or
too tight, your pulse may not be detected.
3. The headband must be worn with the sensor win­
dow centered on your forehead. Make sure that
there is no hair between the sensor window and
your forehead. Make-up applied to the forehead
. may interfere with pulse readings. Note: If the pulse
sensor do'es not delect your pulse when the sensor
window is centered on your forehead, try positioning
the sensor window above your right or left eyebrow.
Depending on the shape of your forehead, it may be
easier to detect your pulse from a different position.
4. Make sure that the pulse sensor wire is fully
plugged into the jack on the console.
5. Because your pulse constantly changes, the pulse
sensor will sample your pulse every few seconds.
When you first put on the pulse sensor, it may take
up to ten seconds for an accurate pulse to be shown.
6. Avoid excessive head movement during exercise.
7. The sensor window should be cleaned weekly when
the treadmill is used regularly. Moisten a cotton swab
with water, and carefully wipe the sensor window.
HOW TO SOLVE COMMON PULSE PROBLEMS
1. If you are wearing the pulse sensor and the NO
PULSE DETECTED indicator lights, refer to guide­
lines 2,3.4,5,6, and 7 above.
2. If the pulse shown in the PULSE display seems ex­
cessively high or low, refer to guideline 5.
3. If error code “E5" appears in the PULSE display,
refer to guidelines 2,3,4, 5, 6, and 7.
4. If the letters “PLS” appear in the PULSE display,
refer to guidelines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
CLEANING THE PULSE SENSOR AND HEADBAND
Remove the headband from the pulse sensor. Wipe
the pulse sensor with a damp cloth; never immerse
the pulse sensor in water. Hand wash the headband
in mild detergent, gently wring it out, and let it air dry.
