HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The chest pube sensor consists of two components--
the chest strap and the sensor unit,
_Chest Strap
Sensor Unit' Unit
insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into the
hob in one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset
drawing above, Press the end of the sensor unit under
the buckle on the chest strap, The tab should be flush
with the front of the sensor unit,
Next, wrap the chest
pulse sensor around
your chest and attach
the other end of the
chest strap to the
sensor unit, Adjust
the length of the
chest strap, if neces-
saG,, The chest pulse
sensor should be under your clothes, tight against your
skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or
breasts as is comfortable, Make sure that the logo on
the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up,
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side
(the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges),
Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens so°
lution, wet both electrode areas, Return the sensor unit
to a position against your chest,
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each
use, The chest pulse sensor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
dried, if the chest pulse sensor is not dried after
each use, it may remain activated longer than nee-
essary, draining the battery prematurely,
Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place,
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture,
Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose
it to temperatures above 122 ° Fahrenheit (50°
Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit (-10 ° Celsius),
Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor,
Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth--never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals, The chest
strap may be hand washed and air dried,
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
The instructions on the following pages explain
how the chest puJse sensor is used with the con-
sole. If the chest puJse sensor does not function
properly, try the steps below.
Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-
sor as described at the left, Note: if the chest pulse
sensor does not function when positioned as de-
scribed, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest,
Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the
sensor unit, if heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas,
As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-
self near the center of the walking belt, For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within arm's tength of the console.
The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms, Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical
conditions such as premature ventricular contrac-
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia,
The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources, if it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill,
The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
page 24),

OPERATmON AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PRE-LUBRmCATED WALKmNG BELT
Your treadmHUfeatures a waUkingbeUtcoated with high°
performance Uubdcant. IMPORTANT: Never apply sil-
icone spray or other substances to the walking
belt or the walking platform. Such substances will
deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive
wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
of the equJpmentogrounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product--if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other appli-
ances being turned on or off. To decrease the possi-
bility of your treadmill being damaged, aJways
use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see
drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-
pressor, see your Jocal NeaJthRider dealer or can
the toil-free telephone number on the front cover
of this manuaJ and order part number 146148, or
see your tocal electronics store.
Use onJy a singJe-ouflet surge suppressor that is
UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-
pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a
UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 voJts or tess
and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 jouJes.
The surge suppressor must be eJectdcaHy rated for
120 volts AC and !5 amps. There must be a moni-
toring Jight on the surge suppressor to indicate
whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a
properly functioning surge suppressor couM result
in damage to the controJ system of the treadmill. If
the control system is damaged, the walking belt
may change speed, accelerate or stop une×pect-
edty, which may result in a fan and serious injury.
This product must be grounded, if it should maffunc°
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of sbc°
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor,
and plug the surge suppressor into an appropriate
outlet that is property installed and grounded in
accordance with aH JocaJ codes and ordinances.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCl-equipped outJets.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pob
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
I-Grounded Outlet Box
_-I _ Surge Suppressor
... Grounding Pin
2_rounded Outlet Box
Adapter Surge Suppressor
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician,
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover,
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-poJe receptacle outJet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
