7. Measure your heart rate if desired. Note: If you use the handgrip pulse sensor and the optional chest pulse sensor at the same time, the console will not display your heart rate accurately. See page 20 for information about the optional chest pulse sensor. If there are sheets of clear Contacts plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the plas- tic. To use the handgrip pulse sensor, first make sure that your hands are clean. Next, stand on the foot rails and hold the handgrip pulse sensor; your palms should be resting on the upper contacts, and your fingertips should be touching the lower con- tacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, two dashes (- -) will appear in the Pulse display, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds. 8. When you are finished exercising, remove the key from the console. Step onto the foot rails, press the Stop button, and adjust the incline of the treadmill to the lowest setting. The incline must be at the lowest setting when you fold the treadmill to the storage position, or you may damage the treadmill. Next, remove the key from the console and put it in a secure place. When you are finished using the treadmill, switch the reset/off circuit breaker to the "off" position and unplug the power cord. IMPORTANT: If you do not do this, the treadmill's electrical components may wear prematurely. 13
