Introducing Users to the P20
Console
CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, see your
physician for a thorough physical examination. Seek advice from
your physician to learn the target heart rate appropriate for your
fitness level.
The P20 console offers an easy-to-follow display and multiple
programs to help people meet their exercise needs. The
sensitive keypad lets them select data and control their
workout session and SmartRate® provides a visual aid that
monitors heart rate and workout intensity at a glance.
Important: Please review the following sections in this guide with
your users before allowing them to use the fitness equipment:
 Important Safety Instructions
 Getting Started
 Using the Safety Clip (for treadmill only)
Using the Touch Heart Rate Feature
Note: Touch heart rate performance may vary based on a
user’s physiology, fitness level, age, and other factors. You
may experience an erratic readout if your hands are dry, dirty,
or oily, or if the skin on your palms is especially thick. Wearing
hand lotion can also cause an erratic readout. In addition,
make sure that the sensors are clean to ensure proper contact
can be maintained.
