To measure your heart rate, stand Pulse Sensor on the foot rails and place your thumb on the pulse sensor as shown. The pulse sensor is pressure activated-fully Pulse Indicator press it down. Do not press too hard, or the cir- culation in your thumb will be re- stricted, and your pulse will not be detected. Next, raise your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator in the pulse display flashes steadily. Hold your thumb at this level. After a few seconds, your heart rate will be shown. Hold your thumb on the sensor for another 15 seconds for the most accurate reading. If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift your thumb off the sensor and allow the display to reset. Press down again on the sensor as described above. Make sure that your thumb is positioned as shown and that you are applying the proper amount of pressure. Try the sensor several times until you become familiar with it. Remember to stand still whilst measuring your heart rate. 9
