HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
If the heart rate monitor looks like the one shown
in drawing 1, press the transmitter (A) onto the snap
fasteners on the chest strap (B). If the heart rate
monitor looks like the one shown in drawing 2,
insert the tab (C) on one end of the chest strap (D) into
one end of the transmitter (E). Then, press the end of
the transmitter under the buckle (F) on the chest strap;
the tab should be flush with the transmitter.
Next, wrap the heart
rate monitor around
your chest in the loca-
tion shown; the heart
rate monitor must be
under your clothes,
tight against your skin.
Make sure that the logo
is right-side-up. Then, attach the other end of the chest
strap. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary.
Next, pull the trans-
mitter and the chest
strap away from your
body a few inches
and locate the two
electrode areas (G).
Using saliva or con-
tact lens solution, wet the electrode areas. Then, return
the transmitter and the chest strap to a position against
your chest.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Thoroughly dry the electrode areas with a soft towel
after each use. Moisture may keep the heart rate
monitor activated, shortening the life of the battery.
• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place. Do
not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag or
other container that may trap moisture.
• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct sun-
light for extended periods of time, and do not expose
it to temperatures above 122° F (50° C) or below 14°
F (-10° C).
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the heart rate
monitor when using or storing it.
• To clean the transmitter, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of mild soap. Then, wipe the transmit-
ter with a damp cloth and thoroughly dry it with a soft
towel. Never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals
to clean the transmitter. Hand wash and air dry the
chest strap.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• If the heart rate monitor does not function when posi-
tioned as described at the left, move it slightly lower
or higher on your chest.
• If heart rate readings are not displayed until you
begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
• For the console to display heart rate readings, you
must be within arm’s length of the console.
• If there is a battery cover on the back of the trans-
mitter, replace the battery with a new battery of the
same type.
• The heart rate monitor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical condi-
tions such as premature ventricular contractions
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
• The operation of the heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference from high power
lines or other sources. If you suspect that magnetic
interference is causing a problem, try relocating the
fitness equipment.

HOW TO USE THE INCLINE TRAINER
HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD
Use a Surge Suppressor
Your incline trainer, like other electronic equipment,
can be damaged by sudden voltage changes in your
home’s power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise
interference can result from weather conditions or from
other appliances being turned on or off. To decrease
the risk of damaging the incline trainer, always
use a surge suppressor with the incline trainer. To
purchase a surge suppressor, see precaution 14 on
page 3.
Use only a surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a
transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge
suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating
of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of
450 joules. The surge suppressor must also be electri-
cally rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must
be a monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-
cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a
properly functioning surge suppressor could result
in damage to the control system of the incline
trainer and serious injury to users.
Plug in the Power Cord
The incline trainer must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. The incline trainer power cord has a
plug with a grounding pin (see drawing 1 on this page).
Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor, and plug
the surge suppressor into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. The outlet must be on a
nominal 120-volt circuit capable of carrying 15 or
more amps. To avoid overloading the circuit, do
not plug other electrical devices, except for low-
power devices such as cell phone chargers, into
the surge suppressor or into an outlet on the same
circuit. IMPORTANT: If the incline trainer is con-
nected to an AFCI-equipped outlet and your circuit
breaker trips repeatedly when the incline trainer is
used, see the front cover of this manual to pur-
chase an arc filter.
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
surge sup-
pressor to
a 2-pole
receptacle
if a properly
grounded
outlet is not
available.
The lug or wire extending from the adapter must
be connected with a metal screw to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not
grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a quali-
fied electrician to determine whether the outlet box
cover is grounded. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet can
be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER: Improper connec-
tion of the power cord increases the risk of
electric shock. Do not modify the plug—if
it will not fit an outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. If you are
unsure whether the incline trainer is properly
grounded, contact a qualified electrician.

6. Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If you use the handgrip heart rate moni-
tor and the chest heart rate monitor at the same
time, the console will not display your heart
rate accurately. For information about the chest
