HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

• 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.

The chest pulse sensor 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.

• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct sunlight 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 chest pulse sensor.

• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. Hand wash
and air dry the chest pulse sensor.

If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, try the suggestions 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.

Buckle

Next, wrap the
chest pulse sensor
around your chest
and attach the
Logo
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.

• 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 armʼs 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.

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.

• 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 elliptical strider.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE

• Dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The
chest pulse sensor is activated when you wet the
electrode areas and put on the chest pulse sensor;
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, the battery may
be drained prematurely.

HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL STRIDER
HOW TO PLUG IN THE AC POWER ADAPTER

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.

This product
must be
grounded. If it
should malfunction or break
down, grounding
provides a path of
AC Power
least resistance
Adapter
for electric current
to reduce the risk
of electric shock.
This product is
equipped with an AC power adapter having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug
the AC power adapter into the jack on the front of
the elliptical strider. Then, plug the AC power
adapter into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. This product is for
use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. IMPORTANT:
The elliptical strider is not compatible with GFCIequipped outlets.

HOW TO MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL STRIDER

Due to the size and weight of the elliptical strider,
moving it requires two persons. Have two persons
lift the indicated end of the elliptical strider until the
elliptical strider will roll on the front wheels. Carefully
move the elliptical strider to the desired location and
then lower it to the level position. CAUTION: To
decrease the risk of injury, bend your legs and
keep your back straight. Make sure to use your
legs rather than your back to lift the elliptical
strider. Do not attempt to move the elliptical
strider over an uneven surface.

DANGER:

Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether 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 installed
by a qualified electrician.
A temporary
adapter may

See step 6 on page 16.

During the workout, the workout profile will show
your progress (see the drawing above). The flashing column of the profile represents the current
segment of the workout. The height of the flashing
column indicates the stride length for the current
segment. At the end of each segment of the workout, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a different
resistance level is programmed for the next segment, the resistance level of the pedals will then
change.

6. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 7 on page 16.

7. When you are finished using the elliptical
strider, the console will automatically enter an
idle mode.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING:

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.

Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
persons over age 35 or persons with preexisting 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.

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.

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.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

EXERCISE INTENSITY

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

21

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.
Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

1

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from
your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach
down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,
then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees
and back.

2

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended
leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches:
Hamstrings, lower back and groin.
3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back
foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move
your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3
times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

3
4

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp
one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your
buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3
times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for
15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and
hip muscles.
