The treadmill features a state-of-the-art cordless pulse
sensor, specially designed for greater accuracy, com-
fort, and durability.

Please read the following in-

structions before using the pulse sensor.

HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES

The pulse sensor requires

two “AAA” batteries.

Alkaline batteries are recommended. To install batter-
ies, first slide off the battery cover as shown below.

Note the markings inside the battery compartment
showing which direction batteries must be turned.
Insert two “AAA” batteries into the battery compart-
ment. Replace the battery cover.

HOW TO ADJUST THE HEADBAND

For the pulse sensor to function properly, the head-
band must fit snugly around your head, without being
uncomfortable. To adjust the headband, insert the ad-
justment tab
through the
appropriate
hole in the
headband.
Note: Each
time you ex-
ercise, the
headband
may expand
slightly dur-
ing the first
few minutes
of use. It
may be necessary to readjust the headband peri-
odically.

HOW TO PUT ON THE PULSE SENSOR

Rub your forehead briefly to stimulate circulation. Put
on the headband as shown at the top of this page.
Make sure that the sensor window is centered on your

forehead, and that there is no hair between the sensor
window and your forehead.

PROPER ORIENTATION OF THE PULSE SENSOR

The transmitter on the pulse sensor is angled down-
ward, as shown below. For the pulse sensor to func-
tion properly, the transmitter must be pointed within
30° of the center of the console (the shaded area in
the drawing). If you turn your head too far away from
the console, the signal from the pulse sensor will not
be received.

GUIDELINES FOR OBTAINING ACCURATE PULSE
READINGS

The instructions on page 13 explain how the pulse
sensor is used with the console (see PULSE DIS-
PLAY). For the best results, remember the following
important guidelines:

1. Before putting on the headband, rub your forehead

for a moment to stimulate circulation.

2. Make sure that the headband fits snugly around

your head, without being uncomfortable. If the
headband is too loose or too tight, your pulse may
not be detected.
