HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The state-of-the-art chest pulse sensor allows you
to continuously monitor your heart rate while you
exercise. Follow the instructionsbelow to use the
chest pulse sensor.
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the sensor unit.
Strap
Sensor Unit
Buckle
Tab
Refer to the inset drawing above. Insert one of the tabs
on the chest strap through one end of the sensor unit,
Press the end of the sensor unitunder the buckle on
the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the front
of the sensor unit.
Wrap the chest
strap around
your chest and
attach the free
end of the chest
strap to the
sensor unit.
Adjust the length
Ofthe chest
strap, if neces-
sary. The chest
pulse sensor
should be under
your clothing, tight against your skin, and as high
under the pectoral muscles or breasts as is
comfortable. Make sure that the logo on the sensor
unitis facing forward and is right-side-up.
Next, 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 the areas covered by
shallow ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or
contact lens solution, wet both electrode a.reas. Return
the sensor unit to a position against your chesL
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 chest pulse
sensor is put on; the chest pulse sensorshuts off
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried afte_
each use, it may remain activated longer than
necessary, 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 dded.:
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
The instructions beginning on page 10 explain how
the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If
the letters "PLS" appear in the CALSJFAT CALSJ
PULSE display or if the displayed heart rate is
excessively high or low, try the steps below.
Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is under your
clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under
the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.
The logo on the sensor unit must be faci_j forward
and be right-side-up. Note: If the chest pulse sensor
does not function when positioned as described, try
moving it slightly lower or higher on yourchest.
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 notappear unti
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

• • The CR 2032 battery may need to be replaced.
As you walk or run on the treadmill, position yourself
near the center of the walking belt. For the console
to display heart rate readings, the user must be
within arm's length of 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
conditionssuch as premature ventricular contractions
(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 issuspected that
magnetic interference may be causing a problem,
try relocating the treadmill.
Locate the battery
cover on the back of
the sensor unit. Insert a
coin into the slot in the
cover, turn the cover
counterclockwise, and
•remove it. Remove the
old battery and insert a
new CR 2032 battery,
making sure that the
battery is turned so the
writing is on top. Make
sure that the rubber
gasket is in place in the
sensor unit. Replace
the battery cover and
turn it clockwise to
close it.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUB.ETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. Such substances will deteriorate the walking
belt and cause excessive wear.
This product is for use on anominal 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 adapterilluStrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge _uppressor to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a propedy
grounded outlet is not available.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be sedously damaged by
sudden voltag e 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 possibility of
your treadmill being damaged, always use a surge -
suppressor with your treadmill (see-drawing1 at
the right).
Surge suppressors are sold at most hardware stores
and department stores. Use only a single-outlet surge
suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage
surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must
have aUL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or
less and aminimum surge dissipation of 450 joules.
The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for
120 volts AC and 15 amps.
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.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by aqualified electrician.
The green-colored rigidear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter mustbe 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-polereceptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qual$fied elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
