The uniqueheadband-stTle pulse sensorIs specta ly
designedfor greater accuracy, comfod, and durability.
To get the best performance from the pulse sen-
sor, please read the f611owing Instructions.
HOW TO ADJUST THE HEADBAND
Forthe pulse sensor to function properly,the head-
band shouldfitsnugly around your head, without being
uncomfortable.
To a_ust the
headband, in-
sed thead-
justmenttab
throughone
ofthe holes
in the head-
band. Note:
Each time
you exer-
cise, the headband may expand slightly during the
first few minutes of use. It may be necessary to
readjust the headband periodically.
HOW TO PUT ON THE PULSE SENSOR
Rub yourforehead bdefly to stimulate circulation.Put
on the headband as shown below, with the sensor win-
dow centered on your forehead. Make sure thatthere
is no hair between the sensor window and your fore°
head. Attach the clothes clipto yourcollar. The clothes

IMPORTANT: To avoid static build-up that may
damage the console, wear the pulse sensor only
while you are on the treadmill.
GUIDELINES FOR ACCURATE PULSE READINGS
The instructionson page 12 explain how the pulse
sensor isused with the console (see PULSE
DISPLAY). For the best results, remember the follow-
ingimpodant guidelines:
1. Before puttingon the headband, rub yourforehead
brieflyto stimulate circulation.
2. Make sure that the headband t'dssnugly, without
being uncomfortable. If the headband is too loose or
tight, yourpulse may not be detected.
.The headband must be wornwith the sensor win-
dow centered on your forehead. Make sure that
there is no hair between the sensor window and
yourfo_'ehead.Make-up appliedto the forehead
may interfere with pulse readings. Note: If the pulse
sensor does not detect your pulsewhen the sensor
window is centered on your forehead, try positioning
the sensor window above your dghtor left eyebrow.
Dependingon the shape ofyourforehead, it may be
easier to detect your pulsefrom a different position.
4. Make sure that the pulse sensor wire is fully
plugged intothe jack on the console.
5. Because yourpulse constantlychanges, the pulse
sensorwillsample your pulse everyfew seconds.
When you first put on the pulsesensor, itmay take
up to ten seconds for an accurate pulseto be shown.
6. Avoid excessive head movement during exercise.
7. The sensorwindow shouldbe cleaned weekly when
the treadmillis used regularly.Moisten acottonswab
withwater, and carefully wipe the sensorwindow.
HOW TO SOLVE COMMON PULSE PROBLEMS
1. Ifyou are weadng the pulse sensor and the NO
PULSE DETECTED indicatorlights,refer to guide-
I_nes2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 above.
.
3.
If the pulseshown in the PULSE display seems ex-
cessivelyhigh or low, refer to guideline 5.
If error code "E5" appears in the PULSIE display,
refer to guidelines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
4. If the letters =PLS" appear In the PULSE display,
refer to guidelines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
CLEANING THE PULSE SENSOR AND HEADBAND
Remove the headband from the pulse sensor. Wipe
the pulse sensorwith a damp cloth; never Immerse
the pulse sensor In water. Hand wash the headband
in milddetergent, gently wdng it out, and let itair dry.

•OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT ....."
THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE _', a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. They will deteriorate the walking belt and
cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
DANGER:improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result In an increased risk of electric shock.
check wit h a qualified electrician or service-
iman If you are indoubt as :towhether 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 in-
stalled by a qualified electrician,
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriouslydamaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re-
sult from weather conditions or from other appliances
being turned on or off.
To decrease the pos-
V . Q
_lblhty of your tread 1
mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not In-
cluded) with your
treadmill.
Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware
stores and department
stores. Use only a UL-
listed surge protector,
rated at 15 amps, with a
14-gauge cord of five
feet or less In length.
This product must be
grounded. If it should
malfunction or break
down, grounding pro-
vides apath of least re*
sistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge
protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap-
propriate outlet that ls properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
•ordinances.
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
lookslike the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole recep-
tacle as shown in drawing 2 ifa properly grounded out-
letis 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 itmust be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trlclan to determine If the outlet box cover Is
grounded before using an adapter.
