Measure your heart rate if desired.

You can measure your heart rate using either

the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional

chest pulse sensor. Note: If you hold the

handgrip pulse sensor and wear the chest

pulse sensor at the same time, the console

will not display your heart rate accurately.

If there are

thin sheets of

plastic on the

metal con-

tacts on the

handgrip

pulse sensor,

peel off the

plastic. To

measure your

heart rate, hold the contacts; your palms must be

resting on the contacts closest to you, and your

fingers must be touching the opposite contacts.

Avoid moving your hands.

When your pulse

is detected, the

heart-shaped indi-

cator in the lower

display will flash

each time your

heart beats, and

your heart rate will be shown. For the most accu-

rate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at

least 15 seconds.

Note: If you continue to hold the pulse sensor, the

lower display will show your heart rate for up to

30 seconds. The display will then show your heart

rate along with the other modes.

If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that

your hands are positioned as described. Avoid

moving your hands excessively or squeezing the

metal contacts too tightly. For optimal performance,

periodically clean the metal contacts using a soft

cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.

Turn on the fan if desired.

To turn on the fan at low speed, press the

Variable Speed Fan button. To turn on the fan at

high speed, press the button a second time. To

turn off the fan, press the button a third time.

Note: If the fan is turned on but the pedals are not

moved for thirty seconds, the fan will automatically

turn off.

When you are finished exercising, the console

will automatically turn off.

If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, a

tone will sound, the console will pause, and the

upper display will begin to flash.

If the pedals are not moved for about five min-

utes, the console will turn off and the displays will

be reset.
