HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE MONITOR
HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
The heart rate monitor has two components: a chest
strap and a sensor unit (see the drawing below). Insert
the tab on one end of the chest strap into one end of
the sensor unit, as shown in the inset drawing. 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.
ChesI Strap
Sensor Unit Unit
Next, wrap the heart
rate monitor around
your chest and attach
the other end of the
chest strap to the sen-
sor unit. Adjust the
length of the chest
strap, if necessary.
\
The heart rate monitor 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
solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor
unit to a position against your chest.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Dry the heart rate monitor after each use. The heart
rate monitor is activated when you wet the electrode
areas and put on the heart rate monitor; the heart
rate monitor shuts off when it is removed and the
electrode areas are dried. If the heart rate monitor is
not dried after each use, the battery may be drained
prematurely.
• 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 or to temperatures
above 122° F (50° C) or below 14° F (-10 ° C).
Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the heart rate monitor.
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth--never use
alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. Hand wash and air
dry the heart rate monitor.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, try
the suggestions below.
Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate
monitor as described at the left. Note: If the heart
rate monitor does not function when positioned as
described, 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, re-wet the electrode areas.
• Position yourself near the console. For the console
to display heart rate readings, the user must be
within arm's length of the console.
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 caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the elliptical.

HOW TO USE THE ELLiPTiCAL
HOW TO PLUG iN THE POWER CORD
This product must be grounded, if it should malfunc-
tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock. This product is equipped with a cord 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. This product is
for use on anominal 120=volt circuit. IMPORTANT:
The elliptical is not compatible with GFCl=equipped
outlets and may not be compatible with AFCi-
equipped outlets.
A temporary
adapter may
be used to
connect the
power cord
to a 2-pole
receptacle as
shown at the
right if a prop-
erly grounded
outlet is not
available.
Outlet Box
Adapter
Power Cord
Metal
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet 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-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified electrician
to determine if the outlet box cover is grounded before
using an adapter.
HOW TO MOVE THE ELLiPTiCAL
Due to the size and weight of the elliptical, moving
it requires two persons. Stand in front of the elliptical,
hold the upright, and place one foot against one of the
front wheels. Pull on the upright and have a second
person lift the handle on the ramp until the elliptical will
roll on the front wheels. Carefully move the elliptical to
the desired location, and then lower it to the floor.
