5 Measure your heart rate if desired. If there are sheets of clear plastic on the Contacts metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, remove the plas- tic. In addition, make sure that your hands are clean. To mea- sure your heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse sen- sor with your palms resting against the metal con- tacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping the contacts tightly. When your pulse is detected, a heart-shaped symbol will flash in the lower right display each time your heart beats and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. 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 tightly. For optimal performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts. 6 When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically. If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a series of tones will sound and the console will pause. If the pedals do not move for about five minutes, the console will turn off and the displays will be reset. 15
