How 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. Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into the hole in one end of the sensor unit. 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 sensor 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 sensor 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

• 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 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 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° F (50° C) or below 14° F (-10° C).
• 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.

Troubleshooting

The instructions on the following pages explain how the chest pulse sensor is used with the console. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, try the steps below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sensor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse sensor 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, rewet the electrode areas.
• 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 arms 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 conditions such 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 is suspected that this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

Operation and Adjustment

The Pre-Lubricated Walking Belt

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such substances will cause excessive wear.

How to Plug in the Power Cord

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor increases the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are unsure whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug--if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Your treadmill, like other electronic equipment, can be damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home's power. To decrease the risk of damaging your treadmill, always use a surge suppressor with your treadmill (see drawing 1 at the right). To purchase a surge suppressor, see precaution 12 on page 3.

Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indicate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could damage the control system of the treadmill (see precaution 13 on page 3).

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's power cord has 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 (see drawing 1). A temporary adapter may be used to connect the surge suppressor to a 2-pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not available (see drawing 2).

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (see 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. The adapter 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.

SOLUTION: a. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, see TROUBLESHOOTING on page 12.

PROBLEM: Television reception is poor

SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the television settings are set correctly. See HOW TO ADJUST THE TELEVISION SETTINGS on page 25.

b. For the digital television to operate properly, good reception is necessary. If you are using an antenna, make sure that it is properly connected and adjusted for optimal reception. (See HOW TO CONNECT AN ANTENNA on page 11.)

c. Check for the problems listed below and follow the applicable instructions.

• Ignition (black spots or horizontal streaks that appear or a picture that flutters or drifts)-- Usually this is caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drifts, or other electric appliances. Try changing the position of the treadmill or other electric appliances to correct the problem.
• Ghosts--Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths--one is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Change the direction or position of the antenna to improve reception.
• Blue Screen--If the treadmill is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is weak, the picture may be of poor quality or a blue screen may appear. If the signal is weak, it may be necessary to install an external antenna to improve the picture.
• Fading--If blocks of the picture are missing, the picture moves around the screen, or the picture disappears, the signal may be weak. Change the direction or position of the antenna to improve reception. Make sure that the television settings are set correctly (see HOW TO ADJUST THE TELEVISION SETTINGS on page 25). Do not use a splitter.

Note: If one of these problems appears when the cable from a CATV company is connected, the problem may be caused by the cable company broadcast.

PROBLEM: The remote control does not function correctly

SOLUTION: a. Make sure that you are standing on the treadmill, holding the remote control near the television and pointing the remote control directly at the console.

b. If your remote control is still not functioning correctly, the batteries should be replaced; most remote control problems are the result of low batteries. See page 24 to replace the batteries.

PROBLEM: The television is not receiving a signal

SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the correct TV or AV source is selected. See step 3 on page 23 to select a television source.

b. Make sure that the CATV cable, audio/video wire harness, or antenna is connected securely to the treadmill. See page 11.

c. Scan for broadcast or cable signals. See page 26 to scan for signals.

d. Due to an FCC requirement, analog signals will no longer be broadcast over the air after June 12, 2009. If you wish to view television signals through an antenna after this date, you must have an antenna capable of receiving digital signals. Cable television will not be affected.

PROBLEM: The volume is too loud or the television audio makes a crackling sound

SOLUTION: a. If the television audio makes a crackling sound when the volume is turned up, the volume is too loud. Press the Volume increase or decrease button on the remote control until the volume level is 80 percent. Once the volume reaches 80 percent, adjust the volume by pressing the Volume buttons on the console only.

PROBLEM: The volume cannot be turned up

SOLUTION: a. If the volume cannot be turned up, the volume may have been adjusted with the remote control. Press the Volume increase or decrease button on the remote control until the volume level is 80 percent. Once the volume reaches 80 percent, adjust the volume by pressing the Volume buttons on the console only.

b. If there is no sound coming from the television, make sure that the television audio is not muted.

c. If there is no sound coming from the television, make sure that the audio wire is not plugged into the audio jack on the console.

PROBLEM: The television needs to be cleaned

SOLUTION: a. UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. To clean the television, wipe the television and the screen using a soft cloth with a small amount of soft detergent. Do not use a polishing cloth, solvent, or any type of propellant or chemical detergent such as alcohol or benzene.

Exercise Guidelines

WARNING: Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over age 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a reputable book or consult your physician. Remember, proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.

Exercise Intensity

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your age define your "training zone." The lowest number is the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest number in your training zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your heart rate near the middle number in your training zone.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone.

Workout Guidelines

Warming Up: Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise: Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise--never hold your breath.

Cooling Down: Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

Exercise Frequency

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. Remember, the key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
