5 Measure your heart rate if desired. You can measure your heart rate using either the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor. Note: If you hold the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the chest pulse sensor at the same time, the console will not display your heart rate accurately. If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal con- tacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the Contacts plastic. To measure your heart rate, hold the contacts; your palms must be resting on the contacts closest to you, and your fingers must be touching the opposite contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the lower display will flash each time your heart beats, and 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 lower 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. Avoid moving your hands excessively or squeezing the metal contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, periodically clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. 6 Turn on the fan if desired. To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Cooling Fan button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the button a second time. To turn off the fan, press the button a third time. Note: If the fan is turned on but the pedals are not moved for thirty seconds, the fan will automatically turn off. 7 When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off. If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, a tone will sound, the console will pause, and the upper 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. 11
