HOW TO USE THE PULSE. SENSOR The treadmill features a unique headband-style pulse sensor. The rubber-armored pulse sensor and lightweight headband are specially designed for greater accuracy, comfort and durability. To get the best performance from the pulse sensor, please read the following instructions. HOW TO OBTAIN THE BEST RESULTS The instructions on page 11 explain how the pulse sensor is used with the console (see HOW TO USE THE PULSE DISPLAY). For the best results, remember the following important guidelines: HOW TO ADJUST THE HEADBAND For the pulse sensor to function properly, the headband must fit snugly around your head, without being uncomfortable. To adjust the headband, insert the adjustment tab through the appropriate hole in the headband. Note: Each time you exercise, the headband may expand slightly during the first few minutes of use. As a result, it may be necessary to readjust the headband periodically. 0 GQ,D 0, Headband Adjustment Tab • Before putting on the headband, rub your forehead for a moment to stimulate circulation. • Make sure that the headband fits snugly around your head, without being uncomfortable. If the headband is too loose or too tight, your pulse may not be detected. • The headband must be worn with the sensor window centered on your forehead. Make sure that there is no hair in front of the pulse sensor or between the sensor window and your forehead. Make-up applied to the forehead may also interfere with pulse readings. Note: If the pulse sensor does not detect your pulse when the sensor window is centered on your forehead, try positioning the sensor window above your right or left eyebrow. Depending on the shape of your forehead, your pulse may be detected more easily from a slightly different position. HOW TO PUT ON THE PULSE SENSOR' Rub your forehead for a moment to stimulate circulation. Put on the headband as shown below, with the sensor window centered on your forehead. Make sure that there is no hair between the sensor window and your forehead. IMPORTANT: Wear the pulse sensor only while it is plugged into the console. Attach the pulse sensor wire to your collar with the clothes clip. The clip will minimize movement of the wire, helping to ensure accurate pulse readings. • Make sure that the pulse sensor wire is fully plugged into the jack on the console. • Avoid excessive head movement during exercise. • Clean the sensor window about once each week when the treadmill is used regularly. Using a cotton swab moistened with water, carefully wipe the sensor window. • Because your pulse constantly changes, the pulse sensor will sample and average your pulse every few seconds. When you first put on the pulse sensor, it may be necessary to wait for up to ten seconds before an accurate pulse is shown.

Wipe the pulse sensor clean with a damp cloth; never immerse the pulse sensor in water. To clean the headband, hand wash it in mild detergent and gently wring it out. 8
