6 Measure your heart rate if desired. Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the optional chest pulse sensor at the same time, the console may not display your heart rate accurately. If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal contacts on the hand- grip pulse sensor, peel off the plastic. To measure Contacts your heart rate, hold the con- tacts; your palms must be resting on the upper contacts, and your fingers must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the Heart Rate indicator above the right display will begin to flash, one or two dashes (- -) will appear in the right display, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the pulse sensor, the right 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. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. 7 Turn on the fan if desired. To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Fan button. Pivot the fan to the desired angle. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the Fan button a second time. To turn off the fan, press the Fan button a third time. 8 When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. If the pedals are not moved for several seconds, a tone will sound, the console will pause, and the left display will begin to flash. If the pedals are not moved for about five minutes, the console will turn off and the displays will be reset. 13
