HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the 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 draw-
ing. 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 sen-
sor around your
chest and attach
the other end of
the chest strap to
the sensor unit.
Adjust the length
of the chest strap,
if necessary. The
chest pulse sen-
sor 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. eturn 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 nec-
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 ollowing pages explain
how the chest pulse sensor is used with the con-
sole. I the chest pulse sensor does not unction
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, re-wet 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 length o 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 C 2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
page 30).

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBETM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PE FO MANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
orm. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
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 pos-
sibility o your treadmill being damaged, always
use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see
drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge sup-
pressor, see your local NordicTrack dealer or call
1-800-806-3651 and order part number 146148.
Use only a single-outlet 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 o 400 volts or less
and a minimum surge dissipation o 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated
or 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a
monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-
cate whether it is unctioning properly. Failure to
use a properly unctioning surge suppressor could
result in damage to the control system o the
treadmill. I the control system is damaged, the
walking belt may change speed or stop unexpect-
edly, which may result in a all and serious injury.
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 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.
Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.
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-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
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-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a quali ied elec-
trician to determine i the outlet box cover is
grounded be ore using an adapter.
DANGER: Improper connection
o the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk o electric shock.
Check with a quali ied electrician or service-
man i you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modi y
the plug provided with the product—i it will
not it the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a quali ied electrician.
