OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
PLUGGING IN THE POWER CORD
This product 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. This product is equipped with
acord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug the power cord Into an
appropriate outlet that is properly Installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANG ER: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the product--if itwillnot fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a

During the first few months of your exercise program, keep your heart rate near the low end of your
training zone as you exercise. After a few months of regular exercise, your heart rate can be increased
gradually until it is near the middle of your training zone as you exercise. You can measure your heart
rate using the pulse mode of the console. Exercise for at least four minutes, and then measure your
heart rate immediately. If your heart rate is too high, decrease the intensity of your exercise. If your
heart rate is too low, increase the intensity of your exercise.
kWARNING: The pulse earcllp Is not a medical device. Various factors, Including your
movement during exercise, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The earcllp Is Intend-
ed only as an exercise aid In determinlng heart rate trends in general.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should consist of three basic parts: a warm-up, 20 to 30 minutes of training zone exercise,
and a cool-down. Warming up prepares the body for exercise by increasing circulation, delivering more
oxygen to the muscles and raising the body temperature. Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching and light exercise to warm up. Then, increase the intensity of your exercise to raise your heart
rate to your training zone for 20 to 30 minutes. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise--never
hold your breath. Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase
the flexibility of your muscles as well as help to decrease soreness and other post-exercise problems.
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week, if desired. The key to success is CONSISTENCY. 13
