5. Measure your heart rate if desired. If there are sheets of clear plastic on the Metal Contacts metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sen- sor, remove the plas- tic. To measure your heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor with your palms resting against the metal con- tacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping the contacts tightly. When your pulse is detected, a heartshaped symbol will flash in the left display. Each time your heart beats, one or two dashes will appear, 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 handgrip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate for up to 30 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. Turn on the fan if desired. The fan has high and low speed settings. Press the Fan button repeatedly to select a fan speed or to turn off the fan. Note: If the pedals do not move for about thirty seconds, the fan will turn off automatically. 7. 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, the console will pause, and the time will flash in the display. If the pedals do not move for about five minutes, the console will turn off and the display will be reset. 14
